Continuing the discussion from Project template dropdown missing values:
v 8.1.21
In the linked thread, The root cause was no internet connection. And, the alert mouseover seems to imply that. However, I do have a connection. Really and for true! I can see the json return from my browser.
Attached is the designer log after setting it to trace. I couldn't find anything referenceing the project template api.
Anything else I should be looking for? More an annoyance than a necessity.

You won't see anything in the designer launcher logs (since you're already in a designer instance once you're at this form), but there should be a full exception logged by ProjectInfoForm once you're actually in the designer?
Here we go.
Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
Same thing when I try from the script console under system.net.httpGet(). I have to use the bypassCertValidation switch to get it to work.
Out IT department (bless their hearts) have started running things through a Cato appliance. I've had to install a CA certificate for Chrome. Will I need to do something similar for the designer?
Yeah, there's a means by which you can load custom trust stores in. I think if you're on a recent enough version you can even automatically delegate to the OS trust stores?

see here: Launcher Settings - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation
this lets you defer the launcher and running Designers/Vision Clients to the OS trust store assuming they are all a new enough version via the trust.store prop
This would allow IT to handle pushing certificates out to devices using common methods.
Hope that helps,
