How to fix javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException even though i have already added the certificate


I am working on a script to control my lights and because I'm lazy the communication is via email (works decently fast I know because it used to run on python but I'm writing it in java for some separate reasons) know the issue is I keep getting a javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException error and I tried this overflow page but even though I added the trusted certificate it doesn't work and I keep getting the same error the following is my code, the full error, and a picture showing I have the certificate added

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.mail.Folder;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Store;

public class test {

    public static void check(String host, String storeType, String user,
                             String password)
    {
        try {

            //create properties field
            Properties properties = new Properties();

            properties.put("mail.pop3.host", host);
            properties.put("mail.pop3.port", "995");
            properties.put("mail.pop3.starttls.enable", "true");
            Session emailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

            //create the POP3 store object and connect with the pop server
            Store store = emailSession.getStore("pop3s");

            store.connect(host, user, password);

            //create the folder object and open it
            Folder emailFolder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
            emailFolder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);

            // retrieve the messages from the folder in an array and print it
            Message[] messages = emailFolder.getMessages();
            System.out.println("messages.length---" + messages.length);

            for (int i = 0, n = messages.length; i < n; i++) {
                Message message = messages[i];
                System.out.println("---------------------------------");
                System.out.println("Email Number " + (i + 1));
                System.out.println("Subject: " + message.getSubject());
                System.out.println("From: " + message.getFrom()[0]);
                System.out.println("Text: " + message.getContent().toString());

            }

            //close the store and folder objects
            emailFolder.close(false);
            store.close();

        } catch (NoSuchProviderException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (MessagingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String host = "pop.gmail.com";// change accordingly
        String mailStoreType = "pop3";
        String username = "EMAIL";// change accordingly
        String password = "PASSWORD";// change accordingly

        check(host, mailStoreType, username, password);
    
        }

}

Proof i have the certificate added

This is the error when you delete TLS1 and leave TSL 1.1

Solution

  • The issue is a couple of things first to fix the javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException error you have to remove TLSV1 from the java.security file like harry was explaining above. Then you have to add the activation.jar file to your dependencies and it will work. If this didn't work try to follow these instructions
