Certificate error for /artifactory/api/system/version only

[kongslund]

Describe the bug
IntelliJ's Notifications tool window shows a certificate error for the /artifactory/api/system/version endpoint.

However, the JFrog plugin is able to connect to our internal Artifactory installation which uses a server certificate issued by a custom CA.

In addition, the JFrog plugin is able to analyze dependencies so HTTPS requests are in general succeeding.

To Reproduce

• Open a project.
• Configure the JFrog plugin to use an internal Artifactory instance which uses a server certificate issued by a custom CA.
• Ensure IntelliJ trusts the Root CA.
• Verify that the JFrog plugin's Test connection succeed.
• Select the JFrog tool window and press the Refresh Scan button.
• Observe that the JFrog plugin correctly analyzes the project's dependencies.
• Open the Notifications tool window and observe that there is a certificate error for the /artifactory/api/system/version endpoint. No other certificate related errors are shown.

Expected behavior
There should be no certificate errors.

@kongslund @jorander, thanks for reporting this issue.
This warning is popped up when the first attempt out of 3 of the GET /artifactory/api/system/version requests fails:
https://github.com/jfrog/build-info/blob/build-info-extractor-2.39.8/build-info-client/src/main/java/org/jfrog/build/client/PreemptiveHttpClient.java#LL164
I'm not sure why the first attempt failed in your case. Does it consist every time?

Nevertheless, The actual test connection results are displayed in the configuration panel.
Please let me know if that helped.

I get two of those warnings, concistently every time I run the scan.

And the warning message doesn't match the line you referenced. It matches https://github.com/jfrog/build-info/blob/build-info-extractor-2.39.8/build-info-client/src/main/java/org/jfrog/build/client/PreemptiveHttpClient.java#L195

However, I don´t see the retry message: https://github.com/jfrog/build-info/blob/build-info-extractor-2.39.8/build-info-client/src/main/java/org/jfrog/build/client/PreemptiveHttpClient.java#L201

I'm in the process of setting up a dev-environment where I can debug. If that succeeds I'll come back with more context.
