Hi Colm, This is the stack trace I'm working on sharing a sample cert. org.apache.wss4j.common.ext.WSSecurityException: Error during certificate path validation: basic constraints check failed: this is not a CA certificate Original Exception was java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: basic constraints check failed: this is not a CA certificate at org.apache.wss4j.common.crypto.Merlin.verifyTrust(Merlin.java:891) at org.apache.wss4j.common.crypto.Merlin.verifyTrust(Merlin.java:906) at org.apache.wss4j.dom.validate.SignatureTrustValidator.verifyTrustInCerts(SignatureTrustValidator.java:109) at org.apache.wss4j.dom.validate.SignatureTrustValidator.validate(SignatureTrustValidator.java:64) at org.apache.wss4j.dom.processor.SignatureProcessor.handleToken(SignatureProcessor.java:189) at org.apache.wss4j.dom.engine.WSSecurityEngine.processSecurityHeader(WSSecurityEngine.java:340) at org.apache.wss4j.dom.engine.WSSecurityEngine.processSecurityHeader(WSSecurityEngine.java:221) at org.apache.wss4j.dom.engine.WSSecurityEngine.processSecurityHeader(WSSecurityEngine.java:168) at org.apache.wss4j.dom.engine.WSSecurityEngine.processSecurityHeader(WSSecurityEngine.java:127) at DigitalSignatureValidator.processSecurityHeader(DigitalSignatureValidator.java:78) at AppStarter.main(AppStarter.java:62) Caused by: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: basic constraints check failed: this is not a CA certificate at sun.security.provider.certpath.PKIXMasterCertPathValidator.validate(PKIXMasterCertPathValidator.java:135) at sun.security.provider.certpath.PKIXCertPathValidator.validate(PKIXCertPathValidator.java:233) at sun.security.provider.certpath.PKIXCertPathValidator.validate(PKIXCertPathValidator.java:141) at sun.security.provider.certpath.PKIXCertPathValidator.engineValidate(PKIXCertPathValidator.java:80) at java.security.cert.CertPathValidator.validate(CertPathValidator.java:292) at org.apache.wss4j.common.crypto.Merlin.verifyTrust(Merlin.java:869) ... 10 more Caused by: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: basic constraints check failed: this is not a CA certificate at sun.security.provider.certpath.ConstraintsChecker.checkBasicConstraints(ConstraintsChecker.java:259) at sun.security.provider.certpath.ConstraintsChecker.check(ConstraintsChecker.java:122) at sun.security.provider.certpath.PKIXMasterCertPathValidator.validate(PKIXMasterCertPathValidator.java:125) ... 15 more FAILED auth Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at AppStarter.main(AppStarter.java:63)
