Resolving javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed Error?

Question

Edit :- Tried to format the question and accepted answer in more presentable way at mine Blog

Here is the original issue.

Answer 1

I was using jdk1.8.0_171 when I faced the same issue. I tried top 2 solutions here (adding a certificate using keytool and another solution which has a hack in it) but they didn't work for me.

I upgraded my JDK to 1.8.0_181 and it worked like a charm.
