InstallCert.java - console app that allows you to get and download ssl keys from webservice you're trying to work with
Recently i was working on one of my Test Frameworks for API and i had to work with https. I faced with :
Here's how it works : The most simple way is exception during their execution. The reason was that i was working with dev server that has self signed certificate, which was absent in my local keystore. So, i googled a little bit and found this nice Java console app that allowed you in a very simple manner get a certificate. But in my case i need to use Proxy sometimes and that's why i decided to improve this app and add proxying possibilities to it. Final result can be found here
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
Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException:
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException:
unable to find valid certification path to requested target
Caused by: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException:
unable to find valid certification path to requested target
In this case InstallCert will look for ssl certificates on https://google.com:443. Here's it's output
java InstallCert host=google.com
You simply press 1 and hit Enter button. As a result, you'll have your certificate added to your default keystore
host = google.com
