Environment
Filr 4.x
Advanced Authentication Server
Situation
When Configuration NetIQ Advanced Authentication to be used with Filr, and after clicking the Test connection button, the following message is presented:
A Message from Filr...Connection failed - PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target.
Resolution
Import the certificate from the Advanced Authentication server to the JVM Certificates store. This is done by going to https://<address of Filr server>:9443, click the Digital Certificates tile, click File, Import -> Trusted Certificate. Browse to the Advanced Authentication server's certificate file.
Do the same in reverse. Go to the :9443 tool for the Advanced Authentication server, and import the certificate from the Filr server.
Micro Focus recommends using a trusted third party certificate for both Advanced Authentication and Filr.
