Unable to find valid certification path to requested target - java

问题

I'm trying to connect to a website using a HttpClient object. It works fine for websites we normally use(Like google). But there is a web site, when I try to connect, my program gives this error..

When I try to go to this url from the browser, I have to click continue anyway. Otherwise browser will not load the page. It gives a privacy error saying your connection is not private.

How can I overcome this problem in my java application..? I want my software to connect with that url without any error or without asking any confirmation.

Problem was solved when I used a TrustSelfSignedStrategy object as the Trust material to HttpClient.

        httpClient = HttpClients.custom()
            .setSSLSocketFactory(new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(SSLContexts.custom()
                    .loadTrustMaterial(null, new TrustSelfSignedStrategy())
                    .build()
                )
            ).build();

The code I used is shown above..

For HttpClient4.x, the following will trust all

public static HttpClientBuilder createTrustAllHttpClientBuilder() {
  SSLContextBuilder builder = new SSLContextBuilder();
  builder.loadTrustMaterial(null, (chain, authType) -> true);           
  SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslsf = new 
  SSLConnectionSocketFactory(builder.build(), NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE);
  return HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(sslsf);
}
