I am running an application in Eclipse locally. It tries to connect to an external URL to fetch some data. This application works fine from browser, but when I try the same from Eclipse as localhost, I get the below error:
Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java:456)
at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.engineValidate(PKIXValidator.java:323)
at sun.security.validator.Validator.validate(Validator.java:271)
Many solutions, have mentioned to add the URL certificate from the browser using keytool. This application shows "This site does not have a certificate.". The application URL does not have a certificate.
In this case, how can I fix this issue without a certificate to install?

looks like you are running any java based application on a web server(e.g. Tomcat) with HTTPS enabled.
If you donot have signed any self certificate, then following link can help:

My mac has a TFS build agent connecting to a TFS server. That works fine. But when fetching the source code it fails with the following error:
An error occurred: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: timestamp check failed
When I on the mac, remove the old certificate for the TFS server from the Java Truststore I get the following error:
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
If I add a new certificate for the server, into the Java truststore (the cacerts file) with good new valid time stamps, I get this error:
PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: timestamp check failed
Thus, I know that I am making changes to the correct cacerts file, since I'am getting different output based on the two scenarios above.
I've been scanning through the cacert file, trying to find if any expired cert for the TFS server is still there. Can't find any.
I've tried importing both the root cert and the site cert, but no difference there.
No problems connecting to the server site with Safari or using curl. The certificate on the server is renewed and has valid timestamps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I managed to get by the issue by installing a brand new, latest version build agent.
I am using this java library to extract GA data. But it is generating the following certificate error:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to
find valid certification path to requested target
I verified that it is trying to establish connection with url https://lhr26s05-in-f13.1e100.net which outputs a certificate error when accessed through the browser. I'm surprised this is happening as this is a google owned domain.
I have tried to manually download the certificate and add it to the cacerts file but that didn't work.
I have also tried to trust the certificate like this which has worked on other projects, but not for this one. I wonder if this is not working because I am using the google api java libraries? I'm out of ideas and would appreciate any suggestions
Recently we had an issue with one of our java applications that was trying to run an SSL protected web service of amazone load balancer,that had their certificate signed by GoDaddy. we did not Copy and paste the contents of the public key certificate chain file (PEM-encoded) in the Certificate Chain box. now we were seeing the following error:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
. Is there a way to resolve this exception?
This error means your java keystore doesnt have ssl certificate for service you are trying to connect.
You need to add the public certificate of GoDaddy/Intermediate CA to your java keystore.
you can use keytool command for that
I have been struggling for almost one week to get my applications up running after moving my applications from Windows 2000 to Windows 2008 R2 Server.
The procedure:
Installed Java JDK 1.7.0_25
Set system environment variable JAVA_HOME to C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\
Imported the certificate into cacerts with keytool
Ensured that the certificate exists in keytool with -list.
I have tried to repeat step 3 with InstallCert to ensure that i havent messed anything up.
The above methods did not solve my problem, so i tried to do it programmatically:
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",
"C:/Progra~1/Java/jdk1.7.0_25/jre/lib/security/cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "changeit");
Still without any luck. I am stuck and not quite sure which direction to go from here.

UPDATE:
Both
System.out.println(System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore"));
and
System.out.println(System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore"));
returns null.
I ran into similar issues whose cause and solution turned out both to be rather simple:
Main Cause: Did not import the proper cert using keytool
NOTE: Only import root CA (or your own self-signed) certificates
NOTE: don't import an intermediate, non certificate chain root cert
Solution Example for imap.gmail.com
Determine the root CA cert:
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect imap.gmail.com:993
in this case we find the root CA is Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
Download root CA cert.
Verify downloaded cert has proper SHA-1 and/or MD5 fingerprints by comparing with info found here
Import cert for javax.net.ssl.trustStore:
keytool -import -alias gmail_imap -file Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority.pem
Run your java code
You've imported the certificate into the truststore of the JRE provided in the JDK, but you are running the java.exe of the JRE installed directly.
EDIT
For clarity, and to resolve the morass of misunderstanding in the commentary below, you need to import the certificate into the cacerts file of the JRE you are intending to use, and that will rarely if ever be the one shipping inside the JDK, because clients won't normally have a JDK. Anything in the commentary below that suggests otherwise should be ignored as not expressing my intention here.
A far better solution would be to create your own truststore, starting with a copy of the cacerts file, and specifically tell Java to use that one via the system property javax.net.ssl.trustStore.
You should make building this part of your build process, so as to keep up to date with changes I the cacerts file caused by JDK upgrades.
If you are using Eclipse just cross check in Eclipse Windows--> preferences---->java---> installed JREs is pointing the current JRE and the JRE where you have configured your certificate. If not remove the JRE and add the jre where your certificate is installed
Per your pastebin, you need to add the proxy.tkk.com certificate to the truststore.
On Windows you can try these steps:
Download a root CA certificate from the website.
Find a file jssecacerts in the directory /lib/security with JRE (you can use a comand System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.home"); to find the folder with the current JRE). Make a backup of the file.
Download a program portecle.
Open the jssecacerts file in portecle.
Enter the password: changeit.
Import the downloaded certificate with porticle (Tools > Import Trusted Certificate).
Click Save.
Replace the original file jssecacerts.
In my case the issue was resolved by installing Oracle's official JDK 10 as opposed to using the default OpenJDK that came with my Ubuntu. This is the guide I followed: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/04/install-oracle-java-10-in-ubuntu-or.html
