IntelliJ - Set proxy server settings

By xngo on August 9, 2019

Issue

When trying to update IntelliJ from Help > Check for Updates..., it shows the following error message.

Connection failed (java.security.cert.CertificateException: No name matching www.jetbrains.com found). Please check network connection and try again.

Solution

Since I'm behind a proxy server, therefore, to resolve this issue, I have to setup the proxy settings. Here is how I did it.

  1. Navigate to File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy.
  2. Check Auto-detect proxy settings option.
  3. That's it!
