I'm in the midst of trying to get a similar configuration working. My client is restricted to a JDK 1.3.1 system, so I'm using Sun's jsse library to provide the ssl connection.
You may need to update the 'cacerts' file provided by Apple. On Sun's Java releases older than jdk 1.4.2_04 many of the root certificates have expired. [I can't see 'till I get home how recent the cacarts file in 'Panther' is] take a look at http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-57436-1 and other jsse related pages at sun. [most of the pages at developer.apple.com still refer to jdk 1.4.1] Also, If you manually run 'software update' - Is the Java subsystem one of the possible updates? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2004 2:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Axis over SSL Hello, I am attempting to generate my client stubs from my web service's WSDL over HTTPS. I am not attempting SSL client authentication, so I figured the stubs could be generated without setting up the keystore. After running the WSDL2Java utility, I receive the following exception: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: Certificate Chaining Error I am using Apache Axis 1.2RC2 and Tomcat 5.0.16 with Java 1.4.2_02 on Mac OS X. How do I resolve this issue? Thanks, Mike
