Hey @dsuresh,

Can you fill out all of the template so that we know how you are running n8n and what version you are using.

Are you self hosting Gitlab as well? The error looks like you are using a self signed certificate and we don’t have an option to ignore certificate errors with the Gitlab node at the moment.

Adding to what @Jon said, you may be able to work around this issue using the http node as it has an option to ignore SSL:

But TLDR; fix your certificate issue

I have updated the ticket with more details. Not self hosting gitlab.

Really? That surprises me. Is it npm, docker or desktop?

Sadly if you are getting a self signed certificate back it is going to be something on your network like a proxy or AV trying to do content inspection or there is something wrong with Gitlab.

The only thing we could do is add an option to ignore cert errors but in cases like this it is probably good to know something is possibly intercepting your traffic.

Its desktop

Hey @dsuresh,

Any proxy or AV installed that is doing content inspection? At the moment everything I have is above.

We probably should add an option to ignore cert issues as it can be set hosted but if you are going from your machine to their server you shouldn’t be getting issues like this.
