Backup application SSL cert error

[Stefan Hodgman]

HI, 

Trying to get the backup application to work, getting below error. I have a externally trusted CA cert installed and the Bitbucket web server runs SSL fine so I don't know why this is failing at time of trying to launch the backup jar file?

$ java -jar bitbucket-backup-client.jar

That was it thanks,

from your link there is this one as well, I used the Command line install at the bottom after Portecle would not allow me to save the keystore after importing  the public cert. I even tried installing the Unlimited jurisdiction jars but still nothing, nonetheless Openssl was able to do the job.

Nice. I am glad it helped.

This error means that the certificate is not trusted by the java runtime. Which is the CA which issued the Bitbucker certificate and which JVM are you using (output of java -version will be helpful)?
