HTTPS & Keytool too

[jamesEdwards]

Hello,

I have spent a lot of time trying to find an answer now and im hoping someone can help me. I am getting the error.

sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderE xception: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

The HTTPS site i am connecting to does have a valid SSL certificate from godaddy never the less it looks as though I need to configure my JAVA app to add this certificate in order to connect. Locally this is fine but I want to be able to deploy this to multiple servers and have the application automatically configure the keytool etc on first run. I have used part of this tutorial:

blogs.sun.com/andreas/entry/no_more_unable_to_find

But still not getting any further much is appreciated.

Hi,

The solution to this problem is discussed at www dot java-samples dot com site.
I am unable to post the link as I have not posted more than 20 links. However you can search that site I have mentioned above with this text javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: and you should find the right tutorial.

good luck

Hi

what do you mean by 'error' at site atm ???

Hello,

I did access the site eventualy but the tutorial on using the keytool is not what im looking for. I want to JAVA app to manage and install the SSL issues as it goes rather than correcting them manauly.
