Will client JVM for a web service(https) throw an SSL Exception when the server is having a valid ce
- by ring bearer
I have a web service deployed on tomcat hosted on a remote server.
I have set it up such that it can be accessed only via HTTPS.
For this, I generated a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and used it to get a temporary certificate from VeriSign.
My web service client is on my local machine. If I try to access the service it will throw a javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:unable to find valid certification path to requested target
If I install the certificate in to local Java's keystore, the issue will be resolved.
My question is if I install a valid SSL certificate from a CA in to my tomcat server,
will I get this client-side error even if I do not import the certificate to local key store?
