Java: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Question

I have a class that will download a file from a https server. When I run it, it returns a lot of errors. It seems that I have a problem with my certificate

Answer 1

I was able to get it working with code only, i.e. no need to use keytool:
