"message":"unable to verify the first certificate","code":"UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE"

[#1]

While testing a backend service using edgemicro, service returns error as

{"message":"unable to verify the first certificate","code":"UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE"}

When we export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED="0" it works.

Is this a node issue or the cert on the backend URL?

As per FAQ,

http://docs.apigee.com/microgateway/content/edge-microgateway-faq#securityquestions-caniusecustomssl...

It is required for custom cert.
