I was trying to establish a ssl connection to the sever in my application. for this, I generated self-signed certificates and added them to the keystore as well as the java cacerts which is the trust store.

But When I launch my application, I keep getting PKIX path building failed validatorException: unable to find valid path to requested target error

Hence unable to login to my java application.I use java1.8.0_144 version.

Try to login to the website which IDE is complaining about, and see if you are able to access it through the browser. If so, then check for the certificate being used in the browser and check that certificate is present in your java cacerts.
