Hi Becky, Try to import the certificates into the java keystore ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts) instead of putting it into your keystore.

It uses an HttpsURLConnection to connect to the site's root and passes my Authenticator class (w/ username and password) as the default authenticator. It used to work fine until the site's admin replaced their verisign certificate with an in-house-generated one. Now my servlet receives a java.security.cert.CertificateException stating that it cannot find a trusted certificate. I tried adding the server's certificate to my server's keystore, but I'm afraid that didn't work. I believe I have to obtain the certificate and somehow validate it. If anyone has experience with this I'd greatly appreciated it. Thanks in advance, -Becky ________________________________________________________________________ ___ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
