exception reason

Posted by Nitin Mishra on October 30, 2001 at 6:12 AM

One of the most common problems people have in using JSSE is when the JSSE receives a certificate that is unknown to the mechanism that makes trust decisions. If an unknown certificate is received, the trust mechanism will throw an exception saying that the certificate is untrusted. Make sure that the correct trust KeyStore is being used,and that the JSSE is installed and configured correctly.
Try to get the certificate of servert to whom u wish to connect and then add it to ur trust manager
