Hi Peter

Thanks for your helpful reply and advice. I'll certainly explore Let's Encrypt going forward.

In the mean time I have actually managed to workaround the problem by opening an additional non secure http port on my same webapplication server and changing my webhook to call the http version of the endpoint instead. Zendesk isn't too happy about me using an http endpoint in my webhook and puts a warning under the field :-) ... but it does now work, and circumvents the ssl validation issue for my local testing.

Best regards

Simon

Hi everyone

I wish to have a webhook call an SSL endpoint on my local development machine, whose target webapplication uses a self signed certificate. 

The webhook fails and the activity page reports " x509: certificate signed by unknown authority".

Is there a way to configure  Zendesk to allow webhooks to call SSL endpoints with self signed certificates.

In contrast, URL Targets work fine and I have never had issues with them calling self signed certificate SSL endpoints. So I am a little puzzled why this restriction only seems to exist on webhooks. It is sadly preventing me from doing any local development and prototyping at the moment

Thanks in advance for any help

Simon
