Getting error while adding Netscaler with the new 10.1 API

Hi,

I am trying to move the Netscaler to the 10.1 Nitro API and while using 
the new API I am getting the following error when adding Netscaler device

PKIX
  path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to
find valid certification path to requested target


I have changed to use HTTP instead of HTTPS in nitro to temporarily work 
around this problem. Is HTTPS absolutely required for communication with 
external devices? or does my workaround is a valid fix?

Thanks,
-Syed

I have fixed this issue

Syed, 

I have tried with NS 10.0 version. 
Its failing to add NS device with error 

"sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"} "
Your patch will take care of NS 10.0 version also or only 10.1. 
On latest master/4.4 adding NS10.0 is failing to add as CS is not able to login to NS due to above error.

Thanks
Rajesh Battala

Got it Vijay.  I have submitted another patch for certificate chaining. 
I have tested with 10.1 and it works. I send a patch for the move to
10.1 as well.

Thanks,

In order to continue with the old behavior, use HTTPS but have cert and hostname validation turned off, the following has to be done
             nitro_service.set_certvalidation(false);
             nitro_service.set_hostnameverification(false);

That happens when you use a self-signed certificate.
You can use EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory.java from utils
