You should get an error that says 'untrusted chain' or something like that. Importing it will solve this problem. Use keytool utility in your JDK implementation. Search for how to use it.

Hi Becky, Try to import the certificates into the java keystore ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts) instead of putting it into your keystore. Regards, Ozgur .. -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Becky Phaneuf Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 2:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: can't authenticate against company-generated certificate Hi everyone, I have a servlet that is tasked to download various files from a secure site. 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".
