Error description

  • In Rational Developer for z (RDz) v9.5.1.1, a user plug-in
    connecting to a  HTTPS host fails with the certificate chaining
    error as can be seen in the console log:
    java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Certificate
    chaining error

            at
    com.ibm.net.ssl.www2.protocol.https.c.afterConnect(Unknown
    Source)
    
    However, the same user plug-in and certificate in base eclipse
    can connect to the HTTPS host.
    
    The same issue exists in all RDz 9.5 service packs including
    9.5.1.5 and IDz 14.0.0.5.
    

Local fix

  • In the user plug-in, modify the certificate location as shown in
    the following example:
    ...
        private static final String CACERTS_PASSWORD = "changeit";
            String cacertsFileName = System.getProperty("java.home")
    + "/lib/security/cacerts";
    
    ...
    
    
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",cacertsFileName);
    
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword",CACERTS_PA
    SSWORD);
    

Problem summary

  • When using customized certificates, this does not work with RDz
    with customer written plugins
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
