Selenium SSL Handshake Problem - selenium

Question

While attempting to access a test portal, I'm encountering the following problem while using the selenium.start("captureNetworkTraffic=true"); mode.
HTTP ERROR: 400
Could not proxy https://myurl.com
java.lang.RuntimeException: Couldn't establish SSL handshake. Try using trustAllSSLCertificates.
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
RequestURI=/auth/login
Note that this happens only in the captureNetworkTrafficMode. A simple selenium.start(); works with no problem at all.
Here's the access code -
RemoteControlConfiguration settings = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
File f = new File("C:\\selenium-profile");
BrowserConfigurationOptions bco = new BrowserConfigurationOptions();
bco.setCommandLineFlags("-trustAllSSLCertificates");
bco.setCommandLineFlags("-disable-web-security");
bco.setCommandLineFlags("-avoidProxy");
settings.setFirefoxProfileTemplate(f);
settings.setReuseBrowserSessions(true);
settings.setSingleWindow(true);
SeleniumServer seleniumserver=new SeleniumServer(settings);
seleniumserver.boot();
seleniumserver.start();
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",4444,"*chrome","http://myurl.com") {
public void open(String url) {
commandProcessor.doCommand("open", new String[] {url,"true"});
}
};
selenium.start("captureNetworkTraffic=true");
selenium.open("/");
This problem seems to have been beaten to death, but I still haven't come across a convincing solution...Most recommend the creation of a custom FF profile, but this doesn't work.

Answer 1

It boiled down to an additional browser setting to trust all SSL certificates:
settings.setTrustAllSSLCertificates(true);
