https authentication from WebService.

Hello all.

Im trying to perform an HTTPS authentication from a Webservice.

However, after executing the Webservice and looking into the execution log,

the follwing error appears:

Error##Plain###javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: unknown certificate#

Error##Plain### at com.ibm.jsse.bv.a(Unknown Source)#

Error##Plain### at com.ibm.jsse.b.a(Unknown Source)#

Error##Plain### at com.ibm.jsse.b.write(Unknown Source)#

What i understand is that the x.509 certificate needs to be imported into the default trusted ca keystore of the server instance where I intend to execute it.

Can someone explain the steps to install this certificate ??

Thanks in advance.

hi...

im wondering what impact might have to use the keytool to import the given x.509 cert against the file

/usr/local/java/current/jre/lib/security/cacerts

any ideas?

I never tried this, but I think it doesn't help. That file is just the default location. It is perfectly possible to configure another place, which SAP most likely has done.

Hello.

Might you elaborate a bit on what you have successfully tried?

Thanks.
