PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 Kubernetes User Guide

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeExcept ion: sun.security.validator.Validator Exception: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.S unCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

To resolve the error, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the root certificate of the Kubernetes cluster to the PowerProtect Data Manager server.
2. As an administrator on the PowerProtect Data Manager server, import the certificate to the PowerProtect Data Manager trust store by running the following command:

   ppdmtool -importcert -alias certificate alias -file file with certificate -type BASE64|PEM

   Where:

   i or importcert imports the certificate.

   a or alias certificate alias is used to specify the alias of the certificate, and certificate alias is in the form hostname:port:root.

   f or file file with certificate is used to specify the full path of the file with the certificate.

   t or type BASE64|PEM is used to specify the certificate type. The default type is PEM.

   NOTE Since the root certificate is in PEM format, this command should not require the type input.
