Studio Connection to Remote Stardog Instance

[Stephane_Gagnon]

Dear Stardog Community,

My desktop Stardog Studio had no problem connecting to my remote Stardog server instance.

But I have never been able to connect using Stardog.Studio web interface.

Please help, I have a doctoral thesis presentation due where I must show Stardog.

Thanks,

Stéphane

Hi Stéphane,

What version of Stardog are you using? Do you have SSL enabled, and if so have you checked the box in Studio's advanced connection options to allow self-signed certificates? What specific error message are you seeing?

[Stephane_Gagnon]

Hi Stephen - I use 7.3.0 with SSL required in my start command. My desktop connects well, but the online version of studio does not. The "advanced connection" tab that we have on the desktop app is not visible in the web interface.

Sorry forgot: my command-line error for the bash client is

PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

I resolved the previous error using these instructions.

Issue with SSL Certificate

It seems like you have something wrong with your trust store or you’re running your own CA and haven’t included your certificate chain. It’s most likely a problem configuring java to use TLS rather than anything specific to Stardog. There are a lot of resources but here is one random one I came across that seems decently written.

Now a new error happens:

Certificate for my-remote-server doesn't match any of the subject alternative names:

Stéphane,

The CN in the SSL certificate that you're using needs to match exactly with the URL of the server to which you're connecting. I'd check your key/truststore and see what the CN on the certificate is and/or change the URL you're using to connect to match it.
