ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID when accessing same hostname with different port - java

We have a splunk instance which is exposed to internet via say https://splunk.mycompany.com
When we access the above URL browser says connection is secure meaning all certificates are ok.
Now splunk REST API service is running on port 8089. So to access splunk REST API we have to hit
https://splunk.mycompany.com:8089
Whenever we are hitting the above URL we are getting certificate issues and browser is saying "your connection is not private"
Error is: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
As I am still accessing the same hostname via https (and a new port) it should establish a secure connection. But why it's failing to validate certificate authority?
Edit: I have been told by the splunk team to take ther certificate of https://splunk.mycompany.com and install in the java keystore in the machine from where the REST API call is being made. They also told this is working for otheres. My question why it is even needed?

You should enable SSL on port 8089 via server.conf file.
Have a look at the Splunk Documentation here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.0/Security/ConfigTLSCertsS2S

CONNECT requests are not supported

I am writing an HTTPS proxy in play framework, yet every time I try to run it on a website that has ssl encryption I am getting this error in my server:
akka.actor.ActorSystemImpl(play-dev-mode) Illegal request, responding with status '400 Bad Request': CONNECT requests are not suppo
rted: Rejecting CONNECT request to '//any.website:443'
The proxy works well on HTTP, yet HTTPS is the problem. I tried changing my application.conf to have a port destined to work on HTTPS, but when I try to run it with the keystore i setup using the keytool command I am getting the following error in my browser:
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Any workaround to allow HTTPS on a play framework proxy server?

How to generate SSL certificate on subdomain?

I actually have a hosting service who has a subdomain, that subdomain function is to redirect to my local server where I have my services, for example:
My domain: example.com
Subdomain: guaymas.example.com // His function is to redirect to my server (firewall)
Redirect to a port : guaymas.example.com:8080 // where I have my services
And through a port I have a web service, in order to make the data transfer more secure I wanted to implement a SSL certificate but because of my configuration I’ḿ not able to generate the certificate with letś encrypt (because buying one is not an option), I can’t verify with http or dns method, Is there any other method that I can use to generate the SSL certificate?
PD: I'm using GlassFish and Soap web services on JAVA, those are running on Linux Server and my distro is deepin
Thanks a lot

NiFi API on remote host SocketException

When I run NiFI 1.8 on my local machine (http://localhost:8080/nifi) I am able to interact with the application through the API using Java. I can start and stop processors, and I get a 200 response code everytime.
When I use the same code to interact with a remote NiFI instance (which uses authentication) I get a SocketException, with the message "Unexpected end of file from server"
I tried setting credentials of the HttpURLConnection but it made no difference. Is this an issue with a certificate? If it is I'm not sure how to obtain and set the correct one.
Any clues?
There are multiple ways to authenticate against NiFi. All secure instances can accept client certificates by default, so if you have a user entity configured for some identity nifi_client, you can issue a certificate with that CN and use it when invoking the API from your Java client. Generally this involves putting the key and certificate in a Java Keystore (*.jks) and having a truststore that contains the public certificate of the NiFi server. There are specific instructions for handling certificate authentication in the NiFi Admin Guide, and you can look at the NiFi CLI as an example of an authenticated client.

SSL client (Java) is not sending a certificate back to the server in two-way SSL handshake

We are trying to access a restful web service resource hosted on IIS server with https protocol.
When we disable TWO WAY SSL Auth (server side validation of client certificate disabled) everything works fine.
When the IIS imposes TWO WAY SSL (server side validation of client certificate enabled) we are getting the below exception:
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
We are using java 1.8 update 102, IIS server 7.5 and TLS 1.2 for ssl
For detailed issue please open the below link:
For details SSL Debug log, certificates, client program
It will be great help if someone help us.
Thanks!
See this warning in the SSL log:
no suitable certificate found - continuing without client authentication
Your server is sending a list of accepted CAs to request a client certificate, but your client does not find a suitable one. It seems your keystore has the correct certificate. Ensure that your certificate is correct, for example installing it in the browser and navigating to a protected resource
May be it is a configuration issue of your Java client. Please read HttpClientBuilder documentation carefully
System properties will be taken into account when configuring the default implementations when useSystemProperties() method is called prior to calling build().
You did not call useSystemProperties().

2 way SSL authentication failure when calling External web service from java WS client

I need to create a Java based XML web service client which is deployed in IBM WAS server which calls web service hosted by external system. Here 2 way ssl authentication mechanism should be there.
Configuration team has already set up the below things in quality environment of client and web service appservers:
At WAS server in which my web service client exists:
server certificate in the trustStore
client certificate is available in the keystore
At App server in which actual WebService exists:
server certificate in the keyStore
client certificate is available in the trust store
Coding:
we Auto generated classes using WSDL file provided by WS provider.
called the WS method normally like there is no 2 way ssl authentication mechanism in place.
problem: we are getting a connection exception when calling web service method from WS Client.Seems we have trouble with the 2 way ssl mechanism.
Full StackTrace Image as requested:
Assumptions:
we assumed that the entire handshake process of 2 way SSL process happens automatically when the web service call is done normally from the client.
Queries:
Is our assumption correct that entire handshake process happens
automatically here especially client sending its certificate ?
Do we need to specify at code level in java any details of path of
trust Store or KeyStore before calling the web service method to enable client to send its certificate ?
If Yes for Qn 2 do we need to set below properties in code as mentioned in some reference links
before calling WS method in client:
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "path/to/your/key");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "your-keystore- password");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","path/to/your/trust/keystore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "your-truststore-password");
Any suggestions/advice are highly welcome as we are stuck with this since few days.Its the first time we are working on web services which need 2 way SSL.
