The certificate contains invalid data (at least invalid according to RFC 
5280). The invalid data was silently ignored with OpenJDK 6 but OpenJDK 
7 seems to be more strict (the Virtual Appliance by default uses OpenJDK 6).

Details:

The IssuerAltName extension is defined in RFC 5280 as:

IssuerAltName ::= GeneralNames

GeneralNames ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF GeneralName

So there should be at least one GeneralName if the IssuerAltName 
extension is defined. The certificate in question however contains an 
empty IssuerAltName sequence. This is not allowed. In Java 6, this was 
silently discarded but Java 7 seems to be more strict.

For a similar report see

Kind regards.
