Thanks for your reply Luigi! To be clear, the WMS service that I’m trying to connect to does not require a username/password but is only available via https. The server (https://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov <https://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/>) has a valid CA certificate. I tried adding a SSL Server Configuration (preferences -> authentication -> Manage Certificates -> Server) and while the entry appears to be valid, I still get the SSL Handshake error when trying add a WMS layer.
Any further ideas? Here’s the actual URL I’m trying to add: https://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/services/gebco08_hillshade/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS <https://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/services/gebco08_hillshade/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS> Thanks again for your help! —john > On Jan 2, 2017, at 1:52 AM, Luigi Pirelli <lui...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi John > > SSL is managed storing credentials using the QGIS Authentication > Manager that store credentials in the same way as Firefox, in a master > pwd crypted store in your $home/.qgis2/qgis-auth.db. > You should managed credentials using Settings->options->authentication. > > QGIS uses OpenSSL => and specifically can import different king of > credential method (using plugins => can be expanded).
