Hi,

The issue seems to be that the certificate used to setup HTTPS
transport in the printer is not issued by a recognized certificate
authority (Their certificates are available in the cacerts keystore
file in the "lib/security/" directory of your JRE).

To avoid this issue by overriding the default configuration of the
JSSE settings to specify your own trust store as follows:

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","/path/to/your/truststore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", "JKS"); //JKS or PKCS12 ?
System.setProperty("", "TrustStore");

Now you should create a keystore in the specified location and should
import the HTTPS certificate of the device in to it as a trusted
certificate.

Thanks,
Ruchith

Hello,

I'm trying to use a Web service that resides on a printer/copier. It uses HTTPS. When I connect to the device using a browser, I get the standard dialog box asking me whether I want to accept the certificate presented by the printer.

When I try to connect using Axis, I get an exception :

2007 13:29:14 executeWithRetry
INF: I/ exception (org.apache.axis2.AxisFault) caught when processing request: PKIX path building failed: unable to find valid certification path to requested target; nested exception is:
PKIX path building failed: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
2 2007 13:29:14 executeWithRetry
INF: Retrying request

2 more times.

I just want my app to accept the certificate no matter what : I don't know how to download the certificate to the printer (and I don't want to).

I'be searched high and low, to no avail (I'm no java/axis expert, though)
Any hints ?

Thanks
