"certificate unknown" means that the Java side sent an alert to state that there's a problem with the certificate, but it's not going to tell you what it is. It probably it relates to the fact that the CA that you're using on your openssl server isn't in the Java trust store.
(The most correct and appropriate alert in this case would be "unknown CA", but many implementations won't send the correct code due to security policies that the developers make on behalf of their API clients.) -Kyle H On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 7:12 AM, Vyncke, Frank <frank.vyn...@esko.com> wrote: > Dear, > > I have a gSOAP server, using OpenSSL for secure communication. > > When I use a gSOAP client, everything works fine. > > When I try a JAVA client, I get the error > > error:14094416:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert certificate unknown > > I don't know exactly what this error means, so it hard to check what I am > doing wrong.
