“CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.” with (a)Smack 4.0.0

Question

I have recently updated the asmack jar. Now I am getting an error like this:

07-18 12:49:29.523: W/XMPPConnection(6817): javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.se

Answer 1

The SSL is not properly configured. Those trust Anchor errors usually mean that the trust store cannot be found. Check your configuration and make sure you are actually pointing to the trust store and that it is in place.
