Problems with BC Connector (Certificate rejected)

[Former Member]

Hi,

we have a simple connection to a partner over a Business Connector. The connection has worked a few days but after a transport concerning the scenario it does not work any more. On our test system it still works without any problems. I already switched back to the situation before the transport but it doesn't work anyway. The error is as follows:

com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error while silently connecting: org.w3c.www.protocol.http.HttpException: iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Server certificate rejected by ChainVerifier

Our Certificate is valid till februar, so there shouldn't be the problem. What might be the error?

Regards.

Oliver.

Hi Oliver -

Haven't worked with BC much, but this error generally indicates that your BC system is not accepting/trusting the server certificate of your partner's system. Assuming you're not using client certificate authentication when making your connection to their system, your system would enable trust to the partner's server by trusting the issuer of your partner server's certificate. So you would need to confirm that the root CA cert, for example, is imported into the BC keystore equivalent of the Trusted CAs view for XI (j2ee part).

If you open up a browser and access the URL of the partner system via an HTTPS connection, there would be a padlock icon to the lower right. Once you double-click on it, you see the Certificate pop-up. First, verify their server certificate is still valid. Also, on the Certification Path tab, you would see the issuer at the top. You can view the cert of the issuer as well. This is what your BC system would need to have.
