Question

I am getting 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 exception , how to solve this?This is my keystore

KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("Windows-MY", "SunMSCAPI");
                String pin = " ";
                ks.load(null, pin.toCharArray());





    Protocol myProtocol = new Protocol("https", new MySSLSockectFactory(), 443);
                                        httpclient.getHostConfiguration()
                                                .setHost("test.euniwizarde.com", 443, myProtocol);

                                        System.out.println("hostURL============" + hostURL);

                                        postMethod.addParameter("userid", "" + userId);
                                        postMethod.addParameter("serialNumber", "" + serialNumber);

You will need to add SSL certificate to your java keystore. I am assuming you are using a windows machine. You will need to run following command from your command prompt.

"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -import -trustcacerts -keystore "%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\security\cacerts" -storepass changeit -alias CERTIFICATE -import -file CERTIFICATE.crt
