| [RESOLVED] SSL socket connection failure [message #1235980] |

In part of my application, I am running a client/server model, using an encrypted socket, using SSL. The application is in development, so I have a consistent need to debug using eclipse. Currently, my application is running the client/server connection ok when I run the application in batch mode. It eventually crashes because of an array overrun.
When I try to run in Eclipse, the application fails when it trys to open the socket. The lines are:
Quote:bufferedwriter.write("open " + filename + '\n');
bufferedwriter.flush();
The actually failure is on the flush statement.
The last line in the stack trace is:
Quote:javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192)
I thought about the problem and 'unable to find valid certification path to requested target' probably means that eclipse is not finding my keystore for SSL. I checked my Eclipse workspace is there is no version of the keystore in the workspace and I don't think it knows about the keystore in my CVS directory.
My question is, where will eclipse look for the keystore? Is the a menu item in the project menu where I can specify the path to my keystore in my CVS directory? Or does it need to my in the Eclipse workspace? And if so, where in the workspace should it be?
Thanks for any advice in advance! I'm still searching the Eclipse documentation, and hopefully I will find the answer soon.
BTW, I am running Juno:
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers 2.0.0.20130613-0530
Eclipse Platform 4.3.0.v20130605-2000
Java SDK 1.7 u51
on CrunchBang Linux

Eclipse isn't looking for the certificate. The JVM that you are
launching is looking for it. When you launch a program Eclipse creates
a new process and runs the program in its own JVM. You should
investigate how you pass certificate information to Java. You may need
to add some arguments to your launch configuration to allow Java to find
the certificate.

The web page mention in my previous post was very helpful and correctly identified my problem. It took a bit of time to work through the solution because I made some errors and misinterpretations along the way, but it did work out. I have documented my steps below in case someone else has the same problem that I had.
Quote:1) See write up at:
http://code.naishe.in/2011/07/looks-like-article-no-more-unable-to.html
2) Down load InstallCert.java from:
http://code.google.com/p/java-use-examples/source/browse/trunk/src/com/aw/ad/util/InstallCert.java
3) change the package statement in InstallCert.java for you own needs. I changed it to
package bfs.installCert;
4) compile InstallCert.java
5) run InstallCert:
java bfs.installCert.InstallCert furillo:800
6) verify that you JAVA_HOME environment variable is set properly. I set it to:
setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/share/java/jdk1.7.0_51
7) copy jssecacerts to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security. My $JAVA_HOME is root protected
so I needed root privleges to do this.
cp jssecacerts $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/
8 ) rerun InstallCert:
java bfs.installCert.InstallCert furillo:800
In my case, this failed.
I spend about 30 minutes trying to get this to work, but no luck.
I figured that I may as well try to run Eclipse.
9) run Eclipse.
With jssecaserts installed on $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security, Eclipse ran as it should.
I am curious why step 8 failed, but Eclipse is working, so I am moving on to working on
my application again.
