I wrote a sample application on hyperledger composer to be deployed. While the generation of .bna file and installation of the .bna file on the network were successful, starting the network is throwing up a certificate error. I've copied the .pem file which is the certificate required (according to our organization proxy) to /etc/ssl/certs. Also I've mentioned the path to it in the .npmrc file.

I've followed an online tutorial and installed hyperledger composer and fabric.
Steps followed while deploying this application are:

Executed teardownFabric.sh.
Executed stopFabric.sh.
Executed startFabric.sh.
Executed createPeerAdminCard.sh.
yo hyperledger-composer
Chosen business network and gave the required inputs.
npm install After moving into the directory specified for the application
Edited the lib/logic.js file.
Edited the models/test.cto file
Edited the permissions.acl file
Created the .bna file using the command: composer archive create -t dir -n .
Ran npm install

Installed the business network archive on fabric network using the command:

composer network install --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 --archiveFile banking@0.0.1.bna -o npmrcFile=~/Documents/fabric-dev-servers/npmConfig

Note: The npmConfig had the same contents as the .npmrc file.

Till here all the commands worked as expected.

THE REAL PROBLEM
14. Deploying the business network:

composer network start --networkName banking --networkVersion 0.0.1 --networkAdmin admin --networkAdminEnrollSecret adminpw --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 --file networkadmin.card

Contents of .npmrc file

strict-ssl=true

registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

cafile=/home/vasista/Sophos Certificate/SecurityAppliance_SSL_CA.pem

EXPECTED RESULT
Command should have succeeded by generating the business network card by the name networkadmin.card

OBSERVED RESULT

vasista@vasista-OptiPlex-9020:~/Documents/fabric-dev-servers/banking$ composer network start --networkName banking --networkVersion 0.0.1 --networkAdmin admin --networkAdminEnrollSecret adminpw --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 --file networkadmin.card

Starting business network banking at version 0.0.1



Processing these Network Admins:

userName: admin



✖ Starting business network definition. This may take a minute...

I've tried again after setting strict-ssl=false in .npmrc. But still it doesn't work.
