Keytool Problems - Keeps "Forgetting" Certificate

843811Sep 6 2004 — edited Sep 20 2005
Hi all,

We have an app that posts & gets to a site over https. I am using the HttpClient object from Apache. The posting and getting works fine most days but every now and then I get the following error (see below) with:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found
To fix this I copy the Java trust store (cacerts) to the required directory & then run the keytool command importing the .cer file into the required store and this seems to fix it again for a few days.

The problem is I need to run these steps repeatedly every few days as its seems that the certificate is not trusted every now and then (there is def not a problem with expiry dates)...Any help MUCH appreciated...
