Re: [IBMiOSS] Git clone - Unable to find remote helper for http(s)

As mentioned on the Ryver forum:


After much investigation and a few false-starts, we have rebuilt CURL with
the right options. The PTF number is SI63905 and should be available for
download soon.

As a workaround (not needed with the PTF), you can set the GIT_SSL_CAPATH
environment variable or http.sslcapath git config value:

for 7.1:
GIT_SSL_CAPATH=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSL/openssl-0.9.8j/certs
git clone ...
for 7.2+ GIT_SSL_CAPATH=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSL/certs git
clone ...


As IBM does not ship any well-known CAs, you will need to download the
correct CA certificates (pem files) to one of these paths and run c_rehash
so that OpenSSL will recognize the certificates. Note that the c_rehash
script will *silently* skip directories that you do not have *explicit*
write authority to (a little confusing as an *ALLOBJ user). You can either
remove the -w check from the script or give yourself explicit write
authority to the directory:

foreach (@dirlist) {
if(-d $_ and -w $_) { // remove the 'and -w $_' part here
hash_dir($_);
}
}

or

chown kadler /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSL/certs
c_rehash /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSL/certs
chown qsys /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSL/certs



An easy way to get the SSL certificates is to copy them from a Linux
machine you may have:

scp -r linuxbox:/etc/ssl/certs/\*
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSL/certs

Most likely the Linux system already has them hashed, so no c_rehash step
is necessary.

Yes we can do that too now - but that***s a hack in my opinion. It is
possibly because the IBMi does not recognise any of the well-known CAs
whereas one's PC does.

With The latest PTF for Git support is: SI63502.

i run :

git config --global http.sslVerify false

and "git clone [2]https://github.com/<...>.git " work.
