Hello Dundi.

Probably it is the Java version on the target server.

Hello Dundi,

Do you have any SSL certificate that you have uploaded in the trsut store for this outbounf REST call?

We have Protocol Profile in Rest Message where you can choose a SSL entry. You need to create this SSL entry in Protocol Profile table. Also if you name your protocol profile as xyz then when yo make a Test Rest call you will notice that servicenow place this protocol profile name in front of your rest URL.

Also did you try to do the POST using a 3rd party application like POSTMAN and then see the results.

Reference:

Outbound REST web service with one-way SSL certificate Authentication

Does your target machine/server support TLS 1.2?

What is your Java version on the target machine?

You are making a POST from your servicenow instance to another endpoint. As if i understood well you are doing an Outbound REST call. On the machine where the endpoint is hosted, what java version do you have? Does it support TLS 1.2?

Is you trying to communicate with a system that uses a self-signed key? This may help?

Hi Dundi,

You can set the following property to false, this will cause the HTTPClient to not make the hostname verification against the ssl certificate provided.

"com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_hostname" >> false

Hope it will solve your issue

You may find this page helpful: Create a system properties module | ServiceNow Docs

Don't ask my why we don't have this module by default. 🙂

Here's another way to do it if you don't want to create a module:

Add a system property
