Import certificate for HTTPS web service calls

Question

I can call a web service from Xpert.ivy using HTTPS encryption when the the certificate is issued by a trusted authority. It seems to be accepted automatically.

But if I create the certificate on my own, then it does not work.

Accepted Answer

If you created the certificate on your own you have to add it to the trusted certificates in the keystore, otherwise you'll get the following Exception:

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

To add your certificate to the keystore go to your server/designer installation directory and execute the following command:

jre\bin\keytool -import -alias test -file <path to the certificate> -keystore jre\lib\security\cacerts

You may replace the alias test with any other convenient name not yet used in the keystore.
