Using HttpClient, I receive the following error when attempting to communicate over HTTPS:
Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated.
Here is my code:
URI loginUri = new URI("https://myUrl.asp");
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet( loginUri );
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute( httpget );
How do I suppress or remove this error?
Using HttpClient 3.x, you need to do this:
Protocol easyHttps = new Protocol("https", new EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory(), 443);
Protocol.registerProtocol("https", easyHttps);
An implementation of EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory can be found here.
Your local JVM or remote server may not have the required ciphers. go here
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jce8-downloads.html
and download the zip file that contains: US_export_policy.jar and local_policy.jar
replace the existing files (you need to find the existing path in your JVM).
on a Mac, my path was here. /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security
this worked for me.
