I have used the below code to override the SSL checking in my project and it worked for me.
package com.beingjavaguys.testftp;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier;
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLSession;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManager;
import javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager;
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate;
/**
* Fix for Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:
* sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:
* sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find
* valid certification path to requested target
*/
public class ConnectToHttpsUrl {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
/* Start of Fix */
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { new X509TrustManager() {
public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() { return null; }
public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) { }
public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) { }
} };
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
// Create all-trusting host name verifier
HostnameVerifier allHostsValid = new HostnameVerifier() {
public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) { return true; }
};
// Install the all-trusting host verifier
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(allHostsValid);
/* End of the fix*/
URL url = new URL("https://nameofthesecuredurl.com");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream());
while (true) {
int ch = reader.read();
if (ch == -1)
break;
System.out.print((char) ch);
}
}
}
