I am trying to consume a RESTful service from url https://someurl.com. I have added the following properties in my code:
Security.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl");
Security.setProperty("ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLServerSocketFactoryImpl");
Security.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "cacerts.jks");
Security.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "keystore.jks");
Security.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", "pkcs12");
Security.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", "JKS");
The configuration changes that I have done so far are:
com.ibm.websphere.ssl.retrieveLeafCert
to true
But I am getting the following exception:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Certificate chaining error
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: com.ibm.jsse2.util.h: PKIX path building failed: java.security.cert.CertPathBuilderException: PKIXCertPathBuilderImpl could not build a valid CertPath.; internal cause is:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: The certificate issued by CN=Walmart Root CA, O=Wal-Mart Stores Inc is not trusted; internal cause is:

I'm assuming you have a web application, which is trying to access that restful service.
First, you should not set your stores via javax.net.ssl.*
properties, but use SSL configurations provided in WebSphere. So comment all these setProperty()
calls.
Second, you have to add your service server certificate to the trust store.
Login to web admin console:
Security > SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates > NodeDefaultTrustStore > Signer certificates
Retrieve from port
button, and specify hostname, 443 port, and Alias.Retrieve singer information
button.In some versions, the child certificate was imported (not the root), in that case, you will have to manually download the root certificate and intermediate (e.g. via browser, and import that one to the NodeDefaultTrustStore
, but this time using Add
button, not Retrieve..
