SSLException: Received fatal alert: certificate_unknown - what does it mean?
- by user338154
Hi,
I am getting the "javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: certificate_unknown" error when attempting to send a HTTPS message.
I believe the message is due to the endpoint not recognising the sent certificate or is rejecting it. But I want to be doubly sure this is a server issue and not a local client issue before I go barking up the wrong tree with my error analysis.
Can you guys please clarify the meaning of this error (google isn't helping much) and whether it is client or endpoint server related.
FYI: I am using Websphere Application Server 6.1
Thanks
