I'm in a Spring boot service, that will be within a microservice, attempting to connect to an external SOAP Web Service, that requires a cert that was created by that service and a password. This is being written in Windows, but will need to be run on Unix. Right now, I've hardcoded some things for Windows. This is what I have coded for my side, but I'm getting an error on httpConn.getInputStream():
"sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target".
Can someone help me understand what I'm missing?
