connecting bitbucket to jira/crowd behind apache reverse proxy

Mike Andrewjeski

Hi We've been asked to connect bitbucket to jira where jira is using apache 2.2 reverse proxy.  When testing with SSLPoke things are fine.  The certs from jira have been added using keytool in the default cacerts file ~/jre/lib/security/cacerts

When testing the directory via the GUI The error is: "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target".

My question is, where should the certs file live?  in the bitbucket.properties file?

BTW we're using bitbucket 5.3.1 & apache is listening on 443

Hi Mike! Welcome to the Community

where should the certs file live?

Short answer:

The keystore (also known as the truststore) is typically located at $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts). This contains a list of all known Certificate Authority (CA) certificates. The instructions can be found at Connecting to SSL services.

Long answer:

The error you're getting has been documented in our knowledge base, you can find it at 

Unable to connect to SSL services due to pkix path building failed. My recommendation would be to read that article to understand why it happened and follow the steps there to fix the issue. 

Let us know if this helped you!
