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

Use cli utility keytool from java software distribution for import (and trust!) needed certificates

Sample:

1. From cli change dir to jre\bin

2. Check keystore (file found in jre\bin directory)
   keytool -list -keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts
   Enter keystore password: changeit

3. Download and save all certificates chain from needed server.

4. Add certificates (before need to remove "read-only" attribute on file "..\lib\security\cacerts") keytool -alias REPLACE_TO_ANY_UNIQ_NAME -import -keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts -file "r:\root.crt"

accidentally I found such a simple tip. Other solutions require the use of InstallCert.Java and JDK
