## Security Risk

Ignoring certificate errors `ignoreCertError: true` is a significant security issue because it bypasses the TLS/SSL certificate validation process, which is a crucial security mechanism for secure communications. This is problematic because:

`NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED` is an environment variable in Node.js that controls SSL/TLS certificate validation behavior.

Setting `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0` has the same security risks as `ignoreCertError`. For more information, see [Security Risk](#security-risk).

Typically, `ignoreCertError: false` is the default configuration when you create a new project using SAP Fiori tools. This means that the server validates the SSL certificate of the back-end system. If you use a self-signed certificate, you must set `ignoreCertError: true` to bypass the validation.
