I have a third party certificate installed in my %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security/cacerts file. I have written a local test program to test that this is imported well and I receive the reply as expected.
When running the program from tomcat I receive an error
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
Any recommendations?

As the title says trying to connect but I get the following error.

I'm using DBeaver in this case. But this occurs in code too.
Here's what I've tried.
Resolving javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed Error?
I've replaced my cacerts file with a coworkers who's connection works without issues.
DBeaver has its cacerts within program files and I've replaced this too and tried.
I've tried the "trust server certificate" option too.
I've added Microsofts TSL1/TSL2 certificates too (https://www.microsoft.com/pki/mscorp/cps/default.htm)
Also a certificate for the server itself.
Had JDK 17 deleted it updated to JDK 19, replaced carcerts.
I'm new to Java, so anything helps.
I am making a post request using a restTemplate and I am getting the following error: unable to find a valid certification path to requested target

And my method below:

String myEUrl = "https://emploenefitsdev/rion/v1/rion/";
String eURL = myUrl.concat(Constant.F_SLASH).concat(templateName);

niService.getStringHttpEntityWithPayload(payLoad),

log.info(String.format("%s generateImage Result: [%s] ", slogPrefix, responseEntity.getStatusCode()));
descriptor.setInputStream(Objects.requireNonNull(responseEntity.getBody()).getInputStream());

return descriptor;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
log.error("Error: " + slogPrefix + " generate image failed " + e.getMessage());
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
The request is failing while making a connection from client to the server. The reason behind the failure is client inability to validate the server's identity/certificate. During the client-server handshaking process, the client needs issuer/root certificates to validate the server's identity. Most of the root certificates issued from well-known trusted authorities are shipped with the JDK, and present in the Keystore file, called cacerts.
Let's talk about your case. It could potentially fall into one of the following categories.
Server is using certificate issued from the certificate authority whose root and intermediate certificates are not present in the JDK.
Server is using a certificate issued from in house CA.
Server is using a self-signed certificate.
You need to add the root and intermediate certificates to the java cacerts key store.
One way to obtain the root and intermediate certificates by visiting the server site in the browser. Click on the secure lock pad in the url bar and explore the certificate option. You need to export the root and intermediate certificate by using the copy option and save the cert file on your system.
Go to the location eg: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\jre\lib\security where the cacerts is present and open the command prompt to execute the following command.
keytool -import -alias -aliasName -file pathToRootCA.crt -keystore cacerts
The default password is changeit
If cacerts include the Root CA certificate and still you see the error, ensure that your java program is picking up the correct keystore. It can happen that it is picking up another keystore other than cacerts.
My company keeps the Maven dependencies on a server that has an invalid SSL certificate. We must use https to connect. When I try to run Maven, it cannot download the resources.
I know the name of the site I am trying to go to. I'd be happy to either add a security exception for the site, or just shut off all the validation of ssl certificates so that all https sites will be considered valid.
I am using Maven 3.0.4.
Here are some highlights of the stack trace when I try to build:
Caused by: org.sonatype.aether.transfer.ArtifactTransferException: Could not transfer artifact
org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:pom:2.0.6 from/to NexusExternal (<code>https</code>:
//mydumbcompanysbrokensite:8443/nexus/content/groups/public):

path to requested target
...
Caused by: org.apache.maven.wagon.TransferFailedException:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification
path to requested target
You can simply disable Maven SSL validation by adding these options to the command line :
-Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.insecure=true -Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.allowall=true
We recently changed all the certificates and Jenkins seems to have been affected by that. It is unable to publish to confluence and it gives the following error:

We use self signed certificates for our internal services. I added the new certificate into the trust store of the server running jenkins using the keytool command. The problem persist.
I am unable to track the source of the problem now.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

I finally figured it out. It was a problem with the location of the trusted keystore.
It's better to always add the certificates into the /var/lib/jenkins/.keystore rather than adding in the PATH_TO_JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts. If you still want to add the certificate into the cacerts then an ARG should be added in the application's config file:
JAVA_ARGS="-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/lib/security/cacerts"
Sometimes you may need to add the certificate in ~/.keystore

I have checked the appropriate certificates are present in my key store and imported missing ones as described in PKIX path building failed while making SSL connection however I am still getting the exception. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nigel
The problem is with the certificates produced by LDAP servers, this has been verified and issue now resolved.
