Advanced configuration
HTTP configuration
To operate, SonarLint needs to perform HTTP requests, especially in Connected Mode. While SonarLint will work out-of-the-box in most situations, some network infrastructure may require a custom configuration.

HTTP Client timeouts
SonarLint supports various timeouts. Below you will find the properties added to control them:
sonarlint.http.connectTimeout
- Determines the timeout, in minutes, until a new connection is fully established.
- Default: 3 min
sonarlint.http.socketTimeout
- Determines the default socket timeout value, in minutes, for I/O operations.
- Default: infinite
sonarlint.http.connectionRequestTimeout
- The connection lease request timeout, in minutes, is used when requesting a connection from the connection manager.
- Default: 3 min
sonarlint.http.responseTimeout
- Determines the timeout, in minutes, until the arrival of a response from the opposite endpoint.
- Default: infinite
Server SSL certificates
SonarLint manages its own truststore in addition to the OS and Java truststores. When encountering an untrusted certificate, SonarLint will ask the user if the certificate should be trusted. If the answer is yes, the certificate will be added to the truststore.
TrustStore
sonarlint.ssl.trustStorePath
- Path to the keystore used by SonarLint to store custom trusted server certificates
- default:
~/.sonarlint/ssl/truststore.p12
sonarlint.ssl.trustStorePassword
- Password of the truststore.
- default:
sonarlint
sonarlint.ssl.trustStoreType
- The format of the keystore file is found in the Oracle documentation.
- default:
PKCS12
Client SSL certificates
Some servers or proxies may also require SonarLint to authenticate using client-side SSL certificates. This is a rare use case, and at for the moment, there is no UI to configure client-side SSL certificates. To properly authenticate client-side SSL certificates, you must manually create a keystore at the default location, or use the following properties:
KeyStore
sonarlint.ssl.keyStorePath
- Path to the keystore used by SonarLint to store client certificates.
- default:
~/.sonarlint/ssl/keystore.p12
sonarlint.ssl.keyStorePassword
- Password of the keystore.
- default:
sonarlint
sonarlint.ssl.keyStoreType
- The format of the keystore file is found in the Oracle documentation.
- default:
PKCS12
Passing SonarLint properties
In SonarLint for VS Code, open the SonarLint extension settings, and add your properties to the Sonarlint > Ls: Vmargs JVM arguments.
