The query function in the api is failing with the following exception:
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
To counter this exception, I manually downloaded the certificate and imported it to cacerts and everything works as excepted. But the validity duration of this certificate has been set to a few days making this solution nonviable.
For the test purpose, I have created a trust strategy to allow all certificates but I do not find a way to integrate it with Rest Api. I'm using HttpClient 4.4.
How do I get past this issue? Thanks.
You wrote that you want to find a way to allow all certificates, and use HttpClient with Rally Rest Toolkit for Java. Here is how you can access HttpClient from restApi:
HttpClient client = restApi.getClient();
Here is an example that trusts all certs, e.g. self-signed certs:
public class ConnnectionTestWithHTTPClient {
public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException, IOException {
String host = "https://rally1.rallydev.com";
String apiKey = "_abc123";
String applicationName = "Connnection Test With HTTPClient";
RallyRestApi restApi = new RallyRestApi(new URI(host),apiKey);
restApi.setApplicationName(applicationName);
//restApi.setProxy(new URI("http://myproxy.mycompany.com"), "MyProxyUsername", "MyProxyPassword"); //YOUR PROXY SETTINGS HERE
HttpClient client = restApi.getClient();
try {
SSLSocketFactory sf = new SSLSocketFactory(new TrustStrategy() {
public boolean isTrusted(X509Certificate[] certificate, String authType)
throws CertificateException {
//trust all certs
return true;
}
}, SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
client.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(new Scheme("https", 443, sf));
String workspaceRef = "/workspace/12345";
GetRequest getRequest = new GetRequest(workspaceRef);
GetResponse getResponse = restApi.get(getRequest);
System.out.println(getResponse.getObject());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
} finally {
restApi.close();
}
}
}
