    <p>i have three java based web application app1,app2 and app3 at production. All 3 are verified by verified CA's and hosted on 3 different web servers and on https. app1,app2 is verified by secure trust.app3 is verified by trustwave .</p> <p>Below is the hierarchy of certificates of certificates ,i can see when i hit any of these app thru web browser.</p> <p>app1,app2 certificate hirerarchy is same .e</p> <pre><code> Entrust.net Secure Server Certification Authority---&gt; SecureTrust CA-------&gt;*.myAppDomain.com </code></pre> <p>app3 certificate hirerarchy is </p> <pre><code> Entrust.net Secure Server Certification Authority---&gt; SecureTrust CA-------&gt;TrustWave Organization Validation CA, L-------&gt;*.myApp3.com </code></pre> <p>Now when app1 connect to app2 , works fine. But when app1 connects to app3 gets below exception</p> <pre><code> 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 </code></pre> <p>Now i had a look on cacert file(i.e trust store) inside jdk on web server hosting app1 . I tried to found the entries for Entrust,SecureTrust,TrustWave but found only entries like entrustevca, entrust2048ca etc. So if i go by the logic that if root certificate (which is Entrust for both the applications app2 and app3 ) lies in trust store of contacting application(app3) ,which i can see in cacert file on app3 ,then i should not get the above mentioned error when app1 tries to contact app3 thru httpsURLConnection. <strong>I am not gettting the cause of this? i am not sure do we need to include the trustwave also , though the root certificate i.e Entrust which internally authenticate trustwave already there?</strong></p> <p><strong>If i need to include trustwave certificate(used by app2) in cacert file on app3 then by that logic i should also inlcude securetrust(used by app2) in cacert file on app3 but it is working Fine?</strong></p>
