What does "com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_revoked_certificate" = false system property do?

[harun_isakovic]

To give a little backstory,

I had some issues with one specific integration that uses SOAP WS (no MID involved). The 3rd party system on the end point has changed their certificate or updated it and after this every time we tried to POST there we were getting HTTP Code 0 as response and message saying "No issuer certificate found".

I was provided with their new certificate which I uploaded to the SN Trust Store but this did not resolve the issue.

What ended up resolving the issue was in this KB
https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0760206

To add a system property called "com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_revoked_certificate" and give it a value of "false".

After doing so the integration started working. But I am curious as to what impacts will it have on other integrations if there will be some security issues or something else I am unaware of since I don't know what exactly this property does.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I guess this property turns off the SSL certificate.

Forgot to close it down but basically yes, it turns off certificate verification instance wide. So not the greatest solution security wise. The 3rd Party eventually figured out their certificate issue and it was resolved but we did not keep this property off.
