Issue/Introduction
A known-good virtual service was converted to data-driven. When used we receive the message
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
in both the vse log and inspection view
Cause
When executing a data-driven virtual service, the VSE will contact the registry's API to obtain data.
This API is accessed over SSL, and the VSE does not trust the certificate presented.
Environment
Any supported DevTest version SSL enabled for registry web connections (API on port 1505 by default)
Resolution
The trust store used for this connection is the cacerts located in DEVTEST_HOME/jre/lib/security.
In order to trust this connection, the relevant root and intermediate certificates should be added to this file.
Should a self-signed certificate be used, this should be added in lieu of the above.
