Unable to load web application and console says the following
InstallationHandlers.isRegistered() failed, reason:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to
find valid certification path to requested target
what does it means? Any Idea ?
Thanks,

Check your SSL settings. Try to turn off SSL and see if it helps.
And, as error msg says, check all paths to keystores and all certificate aliases.
I don't use glassfish - I just look at error message. PKIX is format of file, that contains certificates. All certificates, depending of CA (certificate authority), belong to different paths. Example: certificate from Thawte belongs to Thawte certficiate paths, cert from Verisign belong to Verisign path. So there is something wrong with certificate you use: it does not belong to any registered path, I think. One of the most popular ways to use certificates is SSL, so I presume this is your case. SSL settings should be somewhere in glassfish - google it. Or, maybe, you can make your application use unencrypted connections.

is there any one who can provide me with the way of consuming an API that use a self signed SSL in xamarin android.
An Exception thrown says:
Javax.Net.Ssl.HandshakeException:
'java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found'.

You can try to check whether SSL Certificate is correctly configured with the Certificate in your web.
We have to add the intermediate certificates in generating the .pem file.
You can go through this thread to install the intermediate certificate in your server:
Trust Anchor not found for Android SSL Connection
And there is a similar thread about this, you can check it here:Trust anchor for certification path not found [ Xamarin.Forms ] .

It seems you are facing some ssl certificate issues, this usually occurs when your JVM truststore contains self-signed certificates (i.e. certificates not signed by a CA).
This case occurs when Java attempts to connect to another application over SSL (e.g.: HTTPS, IMAPS, LDAPS), it will only be able to connect to that application if it can trust it. The way trust is handled in the Java world is that you have a keystore (typically $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts), also known as the truststore. This contains a list of all known Certificate Authority (CA) certificates, and Java will only trust certificates that are signed by one of those CAs or public certificates that exist within that keystore.
But before jumping to conclusion do check Case 1 and 2
Case 1 : Check if the link is not blocked by your firewall
Do refer the Mulesoft Doc
Case 2 : Simply update your java (this is easy way)
Case 3 : Download Certificate manually and add in Java's truststore
Refer this link to know how to download certificate manually and this link to add the certificate to the truststore (you will need OpenSSL toolkit to transform the certificate to required format, it is described in the the mentioned link), and in case you are not familiar with different extension related to SSl certificate go check out this SO answer
I'm a first-time leiningen user on Windows. When I run lein run I get the following error:
C:\Users\me\clojure-app>lein run

This could be due to a typo in :dependencies or network issues.
If you are behind a proxy, try setting the 'http_proxy' environment variable.
My http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables are indeed set properly.
I'm behind a corporate firewall that re-signs web traffic with its own SSL certificates, which I suspected could be the root of my issues. However, I set my HTTP_CLIENT environment variable to:
curl --insecure -f -L -o
...to avoid SSL verification (as suggested by this note in the installation help) but that did not change the error message.
So, my root question, I suppose is: what steps must a user take to get lein run to successfully bring down dependencies on a Windows machine that is behind a corporate firewall that re-signs SSL traffic? :o)
Here are some options in inverse order of crazyness (least crazy first)
Add you companies proxy to your trust store, and don't do anything special in Leiningen that you will have to remember to do again the next time you change projects or computers. You may also need to add it to the Java JVM's certificate store in addition to the systems (this is very likely your problem)
Add you companies proxy certificate to the project's project.clj's :certificate section This way if the certificate needs to be changed than only one person needs to change it and the whole team will get the benefit.
Many companies have an internal caching maven proxy such as Nexus that will automatically fetch and cache dependencies and then make them quickly available to people inside the network. Find out if you have one of these by asking around or looking in .pom file on Java projects for the config.
Go home, or to a local coffee shop, download the dependencies, and then come back to the office. A walk and some fresh air is always good after dealing with TLS certs anyway.
Download the file manually, with your browser and put them in the .m2 directory yourself.
I'm really trying to not be snooty, by omitting an answer to your actual question. I do realize that there is not an option to disable security on this list. That's on purpose because one of there options will surely work and will make your life much better for knowing how to use these. If it still comes across as pretentious then please accept my most sincere apology along with the answer.
To elaborate on Arthur's answer and save a trip to google for the command:
To add the certificate to the JRE's truststore, use this keytool command:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -file CompanyMitmProxyCertificate.crt -alias ZScaler -keystore cacerts
Where: "CompanyMitmProxyCertificate.crt" is the certificate for your company's man-in-the-middle-attack cert and 'cacerts' is the keystore for your jre located under "\lib\security". The default password for the keystore is 'changeit'.
I have a server running on Dropwizard (i.e. running Jetty for its web server). I'm trying to set up SSL for it.
I have a certificate signed by a CA (specifically Comodo, through Namecheap). I installed the root and intermediate certificates, then installed my own certificate (using the instructions on Comodo's support. Nonetheless, when I attempt to connect to my server for the first time (it boots fine), I get an error: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target (Of course the stack trace is much longer, but that's the root cause.)
I've tried searching this error, and consistently people say it should only happen for self-signed certificates, which mine is not. Nonetheless, I tried downloading the InstallCert.java program that seems to have originated from a (now removed) article on the Sun blog. Specifically I got the degree from this page.
After several (failed) attempts to get it to work by command line (that's a discussion for another time), I eventually got it to run properly. Now the output I get from the program is:
Loading KeyStore C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre\lib\security\cacerts...

Meanwhile, if I open the window with my website, it once more delivers the unable to find valid certification path to requested target error and crashed (hence leading to the timeout). In essence, what it seems to me is that InstallCerts (which should fix my SSL problems) is crashing my server due to the SSL issues.
If I try using something like openssl s_client -connect localhost:8443 -showcerts (which was a recommendation I saw somewhere, save the results of that to a .pem file and install that), the same thing happens.
Is there a solution this problem? Am I missing something obvious here?
You might be missing the whole chain of certificates from Comodo root CA to your site's certificate. Examine the keystore that you configured in Dropwizard and see if you have them all. The simplest way is to look for the issuer of your certificate, you need to have the certificate with the same subject, next look for the issuer of that certificate and so forth. To be sure try to chain authority key identifier certificate extension of your certificate with the key fingerprint (key identifier) of the issuer, and the issuer's issuer. If you provide
keytool -list -keystore <your keystore> -rfc
I might be able to help you more...
Added later:
I've managed to reproduce your problem exactly. TL;DR; add:
validateCerts: true
trustStorePath: lyonesgamer.com.keystore
enableCRLDP: true
I created a keystore containing the chain (single entry, 3 certificates, ca, subordinate ca and end entity certificate) and another keystore containing only the two ca certificates as trusted entries. Then I configured keyStorePath, keyStorePassword, trustStorePath and validateCerts: true.
This resulted in:
java.security.cert.CertificateException: Unable to validate certificate: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
After adding -Djava.security.debug=certpath I noticed that revocation checking was failing, and that this in fact was the root cause of certificate chain failure:
certpath: SunCertPathBuilder.depthFirstSearchForward(): validation failed:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Could not determine revocation status
Then I remembered that if you do not enable CRL Distribution Point extension usage for the CertPath API you need to specify the CRL yourself. Fortunately Dropwizard has an option to enable the CRLDP: enableCRLDP: true. With it enabled application successfully starts.
Alternatively you could keep the CRL in a file and point crlPath to it.
After all this time, I'd been chasing a rabbit hole. It turned out the problem was that I (rather naively) was testing this on my own computer. Dropwizard's validation saw an error, because the certificate was only valid for my domain, which my personal computer is not a member of. Hence it crashed because it couldn't validate.
I discovered this by turning validateCerts off in my Dropwizard config file (I had thought I'd turned it off already, but apparently not). Dropwizard booted fine and allowed me to connect. When I did, then Firefox gave me an Untrusted Connection error, and clicking on Details gave me the much more useful information:
localhost:8443 uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for the following names: lyonesgamer.com, www.lyonesgamer.com
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
Thank you, Zoran, very much for trying to help. I'm afraid much of it was in vain.
I have a webservice(written in java) which is connecting to our active directory and I'm trying to make it use the SSL protocole for this connection so I've downloaded the certificate from the URL import it in my truststore and specify in my code to use SSL protocol security like this :
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL, "ssl");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://MyHost:636");
My problem is that the connection doesn't work all the time and i get this error :
javax.naming.CommunicationException: simple bind failed: MyHost:636 [Root exception is 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]
My idea is that there is more than one certificate on this host and when I try to connect it's doesn't always use the right certificate (the one I have in my truststore)
So is there a way to specify in java which certificate to use ? by a name or alias or something else ?
Thanks for your time and help
First: Are you sure you added the right certificate to your truststore AND you are using the right truststore?
You can specify the truststore:
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","clientTrustStore.key");
Second: Does you AD cert have any intermediate Certificate Authorities?
Third: See the link Obtain the CA Certificate from AD
They shows how to get the cert form AD in a couple of methods.
