Certificate has unsupported critical extension exception

843811Nov 3 2006 — edited Nov 6 2006

Hello

I am trying to validate a certificate with the following code, but i always get the exception: "java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Certificate has unsupported critical extension"

Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());

CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509", "BC");
CertPath cp = cf.generateCertPath( this.CertChain);
PKIXParameters params = new PKIXParameters( this.trustedAnchors );

params.setExplicitPolicyRequired( false );
params.setDate(new Date());

CertPathValidator cpv = CertPathValidator.getInstance("PKIX", "BC");
PKIXCertPathValidatorResult result = null;
result = (PKIXCertPathValidatorResult) cpv.validate( cp, params );

Does any body could help me solving the problem ?

Tks
