The keystore is then referenced within the client application via a java property. The symptom that indicates server authentication is not succeeding in the handshake is a message like the following: 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 A handy utility called InstallCert from sun.com takes care of acquiring the server's public key and inserting it into a keystore.
