Re: Slide and Secure Site Access (https)

I've posted this problem on another site and was told that "The popup for 
the certificate appears because it isn't trusted, i.e. it isn't signed by a 
CA trusted by the browser. Fix that (by getting a signed cert) and you've 
fixed everything."  However, I verified that the certificate I was using was 
a 'trusted' certificate...when I login via Internet Explorer 
(https://localhost/slide/files) I got the popup for the certificate the 
first time and after clicking 'yes' to trust it, the next time I logged in 
using IE, I did not get the popup.

However, I am still receiving the the two errors as described below; any 
help would be greatly appreciated!

When trying to connect using the Slide client run.bat, the following error 
is occurring:

[ Slide ] $ open https://localhost/slide/files
connect https://localhost/slide/files/
Error: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: 
sun
.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find 
valid ce
rtification path to requested target
[ Slide ] $

and

Another issue that I'm running into is that when trying to build the project 
using NetBeans, it is returning an error that it can't find the documents it 
needs (https://localhost/slide/files/Documents), even though they are out 
there.

Thanks for your time and assistance.

Hi, I'm having some problems accessing a secure site and would appreciate 
any assistance anyone could give me.  I'm a newbie here, so please bear with 
me.

When trying to connect using the Slide client run.bat, the following error 
is occurring:

[ Slide ] $ open https://localhost/slide/files
connect https://localhost/slide/files/
Error: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: 
sun
.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find 
valid ce
rtification path to requested target
[ Slide ] $

However, if I try to connect via Internet Explorer, I don't have any 
problems (I am able to connect and see the authentication certificate as 
expected).

Another issue that I'm running into is that when trying to build the project 
using NetBeans, it is returning an error that it can't find the documents it 
needs (https://localhost/slide/files/Documents), even though they are out 
there.  I'm assuming these two issues are related...

These error started occurring after adding the following authentication info 
in my jakarta-slide-2.1-tomcat-5.0.28\webapps\slide\WEB-INF\web.xml file:

  <security-constraint>
     <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
     </web-resource-collection>
     <user-data-constraint>
        <description>Constrain the entire application to force use of 
HTTPS</description>
        <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
     </user-data-constraint>
   </security-constraint>

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
