I’m currently trying to fix my RestTemplate to avoid checking the SSL certificate to call my symfony project. So here’s my code :

SSLContext sslContext = SSLContextBuilder.create()
                    .loadTrustMaterial((chain, authType) -> true)
                    .build();

            CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.custom()
                    .setSSLContext(sslContext)
                    .setSSLHostnameVerifier(NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE)
                    .build();

            HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory factory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient);
            RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(factory);

I’m trying to avoid SSL check, but when I create a new instance of HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory in my function, I have an error because my parameter is not of type HttpClient but CloseableHttpClient. Can someone help me? I’m putting just below my imports and my dependencies.

Imports :

import org.springframework.http.*;
import org.springframework.http.client.HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;
import javax.net.ssl.*;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients;
import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.NoopHostnameVerifier;
import org.apache.http.ssl.SSLContextBuilder;

So as I said, this code is to avoid any checks on the SSL certificate because it’s for a school project

Thank you for your help!
