unable to find valid certification path to requested target--Sun Are u ther
843811Jul 13 2007 — edited Jan 3 2008Hi ,
I am trying to establish an https connection to a Web-application in Tomcat .
I have generated a keystore and trustore and have used a standalone Client application to use the above files and establish contact with a remote web-application . I have also added keystore file in the bin folder of tomcat server . Also made changes to the <connector parameter > in server.xml to include my keystore and its keypass.
But on running my client application to connect to Tomcat i get the following error :-
Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Can anybody please throw some light on it ?
best regards
