When installing some StellarStudio plugins http://*.srxstudio.org , you can meet the issue : sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed
It is typical IT Issue :face_screaming_in_fear: in each corporate company.
“"Path building" refers to the process of verifying a chain of certificates from a specific certificate up to a root CA (Certificate Authority) certificate. If this process fails, it means that the application could not construct a trusted path from the server's certificate to a root CA.”
IMPORTANT : The customer needs to install their own root certificate in JRE StellarStudio keystore
- Typically this keystore is at c:\StellarStudio-5.0\eclipse\jre\\lib\security\cacerts.
The keytool that is used to access the keystore is typically installed with the JRE and ready to use.
- Run the standard keytool to import the certificate, from c:\StellarStudio-5.0\eclipse\jre\\lib\security\cacerts.
c:\StellarStudio-5.0\eclipse\jre\bin\keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias myrootCA -file myrootCA.cer -keystore cacerts
- When prompted Enter keystore password:, enter "changeit".
By default keystores have a password of "changeit"
- When prompted Trust this certificate? [no]:, enter "yes".
This imports the certificate into the keystore and display the message: "Certificate was added to keystore".
