Spring tool suite- SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Question

I am working on STS and while creating a new spring-boot project, it shows following error:

 SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification          


        

Answer 1

The simplest solution is to install your corporate certificate into the cacerts keystore of the JDK.

/bin/keytool -import -alias CorpProxy -keystore /jre/lib/security/cacerts -file your_corp_cert.crt

You will be prompted for the keystore password which is changeit by default.
