unknown certificate - SSL Exception

[Kr <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I have a https based web service. I have imported the service provider
certificate into my local truststore. I am using AXIS 1.2 Final and
WebSphere 5.0. I set below system properties in my client program:

System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.ibm.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
Security.addProvider(new JSSEProvider());
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","c:\.keystore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "mystorepassword");


However I get below exception:


faultSubcode:
 faultString: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: unknown certificate
 faultActor:
 faultNode:
 faultDetail:
        {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:

Now can anyone please tell me what is that I am missing. Is the
certificate in my truststore not recognized for ssl handshaking.
Please suggest ...



Thanks & Regards,
