我需要什么Java SSL（HTTPS）连接

Question

I am new to code signing and certificates. Short description: I connect to a Alfresco repository to download some documents to the client using OpenCMIS. Everything is working fine until I tested is with our test server which uses SSL (HTTPS Url) connections. Here I get an exception

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

I have no experience with such things and dont know what I have to do so my application is running properly? I have read I have to use the certificate or a truststore or something? But what exactly I need to do? Can someone help me please?

EDIT: I should have mentioned that I am developing a java web start application. Is there a solution in which I dont have to manually install the certificate to the local truststore?

EDIT2: Okay since I have to import the certificate on every computer this is no longer an option and I will use the workaround which ignores the verification of the certificate.

Thank you anyways guys!!!

i tried this long back for similar problem, and was working.

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", ""); 
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", ""); 
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", "");
Security.ssl.allowUnsafeRenegotiation", "true");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", ""); 
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", ""); 
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", ""); 
System.setProperty("sun.security.ssl.allowUnsafeRenegotiation", "true"); 

Also the same can be achieved by configuring the trustore and keystore in the application server you are using.

Issue is with certificates not getting imported correctly. I hope below links will help you out.
