PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: signature check failed
From Pro Spring Security book by Carlo Scarioni, I'm trying to integrate Spring Application with CAS Server. I followed every step that the book instructed, still I'm stuck with this error. Please help me out.

Answer
The SSL handshake exception will occur if cas server to cas client (jar files will behave as client) communication is not happened, First check the network things like communication between both servers, firewall and port blocking, if every thing is good then this problem is because of SSL certificate, make sure to use the same certificate in both CAS server and client(Spring security app) applications.
