Entrust Certification Chain Validation Error using Java Clients

Java - - Posted on August, 31 at 9:28 am

We were stumped yesterday trying to debug why all java clients trying to connect to a secure site using entrust’s Secure Server Certificates were throwing a certificate chain validation error. It turned out that the intermediate certificate that we downloaded from entrust had a bad expiration date. To correct this problem download the intermediate certificate again from entrust (they have posted the correct certificate now !) or remove the intermediate certificate from the server.
