Connect plugin installation SSL problem

Question

Hey,

I have problems installing my plugin (locally and onDemand). The plugin installs fine locally if I specify the baseUrl as 'http://...', but SSL breaks the installation.

The logs of my local Jira installation seem to indicate a problem with the certificate (the errors are similar to those you get if you use a self signed cert):

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: General SSLEngine problem
...
Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: General SSLEngine problem
...
Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
...
Caused by: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

I'm using a Comodo POSITIVESSL Certificate, my guess is that this cert is not trusted by Atlassian/the Java trust store.

So, asuming my guess is correct, what Certificate can I buy to fix the issue?

Cheers

I have the same problem. Would you tell me how you did ?

Ok figured it out:

I failed to include all necessary intermediate certificates into my keystore. Did that and now it works as expected
