Overview
Operations
Configure SSL Proxying
Proxy -> SSL Proxy Settings -> SSL Proxying
and then list the target location you want to proxy for.
Examples:
- localhost.apple.com:443
- kibana.apps.openshift.novaordis.io:443
Export the Root Certificate
Exporting the root certificate is necessary when we proxy a Java application that sends HTTPS requests and we need Charles to be able to look inside those requests. All Java applications that use HttpClient will work based on this procedure.
To export: Help -> SSL Proxying -> Save Charles Root Certificate
Use the default format "Base 64 encoded certificate (.crt)".
The certificate thus saved can be used without any modification as part of the following procedure:
Install the Root Certificate in Chrome
1. Export the root certificate in ~tmp.
2. Go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Manage Certificates.
3. Go to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab. If on Mac, you will be sent to Mac Keychain Access. If Charles was previously used to "Install Charles Root Certificate", the root certificate should already be available there and there should be nothing else to do.
