Thank you. Everything worked fine until "Two way TLS based on trusting the Certificate Authority" That did not work and resulted in the error shown below. I tried various JDKs and other suggestions from the internet. Nothing worked.

Given Server is alive # HelloStepDefs.serverIsAlive()
When I say hello # HelloStepDefs.iSayHello()

Hi mpkmtv,

thank you, good to know that up till the last section everything worked out well for you.

Regarding your issue, the stack trace is complaining that one or both of the trustAnchors parameters are empty. Basically what is means is:

  • The truststore is empty
  • The password of the truststore is empty
  • The truststore is not found, or
  • The truststore couldn't be opened (due to access permissions for example).

Could you post your application.yml file of the client here?

I copied your properties to the corresponding application.yml file of the server and client ond my machine and I am not getting an exception. Could you provide your stack-trace?

It looks like an issue with the truststore within the client project. This specific exception could mean:
The truststore is:

  • empty,
  • not found, or
  • couldn't be opened

The valid location for the truststore.jks and identity.jks are:

  • mutuals-tls/client/src/test/resources/identity.jks
  • mutuals-tls/client/src/test/resources/truststore.jks

Could you check the above options? If it is still not resolved, let's do a remote session so I can assist you instantly through a video call.

This exception will be thrown if the certificate is untrusted by one of the sides. So it means that the certificate of the server is not in the truststore of the client or the other way around, so it could be that the certificate of the client is not in the truststore of the server. Could you reimport the certificate of the client into the truststore of the server and also reimport the certificate of the server into the truststore of the client and recompile and start the test again?

Having the same root-ca certificate in both of the trust stores are fine.

The import message from your last comment doesn't look ok. It should have given you the following message: Import command completed: 1 entries successfully imported, 0 entries failed or cancelled

Could you please try again exactly all the steps from chapter Creating a Certificate Authority including the openssl commands.
Somehow exporting your identity certificate and signing it with the root-ca has not happend.

David and I did a remote video session and retried the steps described in the Readme and it worked with the first try. Looking at the exception what David had previously it could mean that the certificate was not trusted because it wasn't signed properly or wasn't trusted.

Hey @Hakky54 , did you solve above issue with @mpkmtv ? I am also getting same issue and struggling with same.

Yes we resolved the issue. We could not find the root cause but we started from scratch with the tutorial and followed everything step by step. So my assumption was that he missed a step in the tutorial back then. Can you try to run the script test-all-scenarios.sh file and share your results here?

I checked your repo but you mentioned that Java 11 is must and I am on jdk 8 and I can't upgrade it.

I am not available today and tomorrow, but from Sunday onwards I am available everyday for a call. Let's continue the chat on Gitter and discuss the next steps https://gitter.im/hakky54/mutual-tls-ssl

so finally I & @Hakky54 resolved the issue and it was something to do with classpath and truststore wasn't getting initialised properly. it got resolved after using the absolute path for store. more to it there were some other small problems but those got resolved in less time that the first one.

Hi @sameer-dighe , I'm also getting same error like Caused by: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

Could you please help me to resolve this error?

  • The truststore is empty
  • The password of the truststore is empty
  • The truststore is not found, or
  • The truststore couldn't be opened (due to access permissions for example).

Hi @chetnajoshi889 your issue might be related to one of the options quoted above. Or your truststore does not contain the trusted certificates

Hi @Hakky54 ,
I am also facing the same issue, tried all sorts of corrections but no luck.
Please assist me in solving this, have an urgent delivery to make and I am stuck on this point since past two days.

Hi @rajatzeal
Can you maybe share some code snippets, than I will be able to understand how you setup your client with ssl.

this is the basic setup for initialising Google chrome and it’s settings

I can share my screen if you are available for a call, I’m really stuck with the issue and would appreciate your help

I can understand your setup is not working. The ssl configuration of Selenium with the ChromeDriver is just not working with only the ChromeOptions. I would suggest to have a look at this stackoverflow answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56170148/6777695

In the example above all https requests are getting intercepted and being executed alongside with ayour custom sslcontext.

The author has made his code snippet available here at GitHub: https://github.com/patricsteiner/seleniumSslProxy
I am fully booked today and tomorrow unfortunatelly , so I don't have time... But looking at the code snippet on that GitHub page I think you will get it working. Please give it a try and I still can try to assist you if you share your progress over here.

Ok , will try to check with these solutions.
Meanwhile please try if you could take out time today, just a quick call would do

I will be available at 13:00 CEST till 14:00 CEST, so we can have a look at it. Let's use Teamviewer. You can share your teamviewer id and password on the private Gitter chat with me directly

We did a short call with @rajatzeal and it seems like his HttpClient was not trusting the certificate of the server. It is the same point which I mentioned here: #1 (comment)

He needs to export the server certificate, create a SSLContext and configure his HttpClient so the client will trust the server.
