You can try importing the sf_issuing.crt into your jre keystore(named
cacerts. password is changeit)
like this:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias server -keystore cacerts -file
C:\location_of_your_sf_issuing.crt
usually cacerts is located at \jre\lib\security directory.
give it a try..

Please respond to Easy fix for SSL errors ?
"HttpClient User
Discussion"
<httpclient-user@

Hi,
I'm having a problem connecting to an SSL site using HttpClient, and I'm
looking for an easy fix if possible.
The web site is http://www.pinnaclesports.com.
Before today, when I tried to login to this web site with Firefox, the
browser complained that Pinnacle was not using a valid certificate. I
complained to Pinnacle, and they responded that I had to import into
Firefox
the certificate at this address :
https://certificates.starfieldtech.com/repository/sf_issuing.crt
I did that, and the error went away.
With Internet Explorer, there was no problem from the beginning.
With HttpClient, I get the following exception :
Fatal transport error: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path
building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException:
unable to find valid certification path to requested target
I searched for an answer, and stumbled on a possible fix using the
"keytool"
utility to import the certificate. I did the following :
keytool -import -alias starfield -file c:\download\sf_issuing.cer
I tried my program again, and it gave me the same problem.
Bottom line is this : I have no interest in understanding the inner
workings
of SSL and its configuration in Java. All I want is some easy way to use
HttpClient for PinnacleSports' SSL sections. All the other web sites I
need
to connect to using SSL work, and I just want Pinnacle Sports to work too.
So : is there an easy fix to this ?
Thank you very much for your time if you decide to answer...
