Problem installing idb-connector

[Andreas Binder]

Hi,

I'm facing a problem trying to install idb-connector through npm 6.4.1 and node 10.11.0 on IBM i V7R3M0. The output from calling npm i idb-connector and the resulting debug log are attached to this ticket. Is there anything I'm missing or doing wrong?

Thanks for your help and best regards, Andreas

Hello @doan23 , Is your system able to manually download the package ? You may verify it by running --

wget --no-check-certificate https://bitbucket.org/litmis/nodejs-idb-connector/downloads/db2ia-v1.1.4-node-v64-ibmi-ppc64.tar.gz

If the package can be downloaded, it would be a firewall issue because I saw this line in the log --> node-pre-gyp WARN Hit error Hostname/IP does not match certificate's altnames: Host: bbuseruploads.s3.amazonaws.com. is not in the cert's altnames: DNS:*.blue-shield.at, DNS:blue-shield.at

I am not sure how to resolve the problem by now, but you may try this --

NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 npm i idb-connector

Hi @mengxumx ,

thanks a lot for your support! I missed the part "DNS:blue-shield.at". Our companies internet access is being protected by using DNS servers from blue-shield.at and obviously bbuseruploads.s3.amazonaws.com got flagged with "Malware Zero Day". Thus, when I try opening one of the download URLs, I always end up at a page telling me that access is blocked.

We'll get in contact with Blue Shield in order to get the URL whitelisted. Let's see how that works out.

Hi @mengxumx ,

Blue Shield updated their settings and the command npm i idb-connector is working again like expected when being called from our companies network.

Once again, thanks for your support, the ticket is resolved.

The problem was caused by our DNS provider.
