SSLHandshakeException - Expired Certificate

Received an SSlHandshakeException error when I attempt to import the WSDL from a Development server in which the SSL Certificate has expired. Other than renewing the certificate, is there a programmatic or setting in SoapUI 4.6.4 that allows me to bypass this Certificate Error and “Continue to this website”? Thank you in advance.

  • Hi,

    I'm not aware of any options to disable checking for a valid certificate. Are you getting this 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"

    There was a fix to that in the 4.6.4 maintenance builds, even though that may have been for using a valid certificate.


    You may also want to look at this link for how to avoid the exception:
