Hi All, I am accessing the F5 API from java, but I get the certificate error on the http request: Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provid...

CirrocumulusWe have wildcard certs for our domains already installed on the F5s for traffic routing. We re-use those same certs for the device certs. All devices have the exact same wildcard cert installed. This means that hitting the UI gets the same publicly signed certificate as hitting traffic vips in that domain.
This bypasses the need to add certs to the clients, as the public certs are already trusted.

CirrostratusHi TimRiker Thanks for the reply,
But I am not able to connect the management server (API request) using java. I can see it working if the http call goes through browser. But not through java.

What cert are you using as a device cert? Is it a publicly signed cert? if not, it will need to be added to the java cert store. I recommend using a publicly signed wildcard cert for your domain if you have one already.
