Hi,

We are getting below issue on Portal for ArcGIS version 10.5.1.

Issue:

Invalid SSL certificate found. PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Initial time the Portal for ArcGIS is working fine but SSL Certificate got expired then we are facing the issue while doing analysis, even we change the logs to debug all the log file is filed with the text which i have pasted above as issue.

Now we upload the new certificate even though issue not resolve.

Please suggest to mitigate the issue.

What certificate are you using for the admin URL for the federated Server(s)? Make sure that the certificate used for that URL is imported as a trusted root certificate:

Thank you for the reply Jonathan.

The Portal is working initially with all the tools but after the certificate was expired we got below issue while working with Analysis Tool all the other

We already imported the organization Wild Card Certificate (root) which is renewed.

Before renew the Portal is already working with Analysis tool on the Map Area.

All the logs file is showing below message only.

"Invalid SSL certificate found. PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"

Please suggest

I know this is an old post, but I wanted to share what worked for me.

What needs to happen is you need to import the root and intermediate certs from the certifying authority to let Portal know that certs issued by that authority are OK. The org wildcard cert was not a root cert in our case. For example, our org uses GoDaddy, so I searched online for "GoDaddy root certificates" and found GoDaddy has a page to download these from. I added them to the server and portal, restarted both, and was able to complete my workflow (federation, in this case).
