Is there a way to connect to a secure geoserver with OpenGeo Explorer plugin in QGIS? When I connect to geosever with a secure protocol I get the error Warning: Cannot connect using the provided certificate/key values and the site does not load in the catalog list and when I try to connect via the ip or hostname on my vpn with x.x.x.x/geoserver or hostname/geoserver it connects and I see it in the catalog but I get an error in QGIS.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/xxx/.qgis2/python/plugins\geoserverexplorer\gui\explorer.py", line 101, in run

How do I get QGIS and the plugin to accept a cert?

  • For those using old versions, like me...: GeoServer 2.6.2 on plain HTTP works with QGIS 2.12.2.1 32 bits. The 64 bits version threw the above error to me. Earlier I got the same error with more recent 64 bits versions of QGIS, but I have not tried the 32 bit versions of those more recent QGIS versions.

  • Update on my earlier comment: in QGIS 2.12.2.1, 32 bits, GeoServer Explorer 0.1.1 nicely lists all layers of a GeoServer 2.6.2 server, but dragging them onto a QGIS project throws "Layer is not valid". However, selecting a layer using a server connection as defined in Menu Layer, Add Layer, WFS Layer works just fine. And meanwhile I also tried QGIS 2.16.3, 32 bits. But for that, GeoServer Explorer 0.5, using a HTTP URL, throws me [Errno 1] _ssl.c:504: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed. In short: time to upgrade our GeoServer and tooling :-)

You don;t need to give QGIS the cert. In the Catalog Definition click the tab Configurations then Add I did basic auth with a username and password and entered a secure protocol url in the resource and it worked

Its not greatly documented but there is a refrence to secure servers in the user docs https://github.com/boundlessgeo/qgis-geoserver-plugin/blob/master/docs/source/intro.rst
