Is there a java setting for disabling certificate validation?

Question

I received this error while trying to start up an application:

Sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path validation failed: 
java.security.cert.C         


        

Answer 1

Not exactly a setting but you can override the default TrustManager and HostnameVerifier to accept anything. Not a safe approach but in your situation, it can be acceptable.
