Getting Exception while accessing the java keystore jssecacerts file

838162Dec 5 2017 — edited Dec 13 2017

Hi,

I am getting the below exception while accessing the java keystore (..\..\jvm\lib\security\jssecacerts) file to install or access the SSL certificate, this usually happens once in a while in few environments like on RHEL with java 7 and 8. Can anybody please help me to find out the possible root cause of this error? I am using the java.security and java.net API to load the keystore and installing the certificates. the jssecacerts file also get corrupted.

Could not generate certificate: Too many octets supplied for length of BER Data Value. (Number of octets = 84, Depth = 4, Position = 923)

java.security.cert.CertificateParsingException: Could not generate certificate: Too many octets supplied for length of BER Data Value. (Number of octets = 84, Depth = 4, Position = 923)
