HTTPS connection fails (SSL) - wrong certificate in use (Alfabet)

Problem

The ARIS Server cannot communicate with an external system such as Alfabet.

Solution

Import the certificate used by Alfabet to the Java VM used by the ARIS Server:

Procedure

  1. Open a Windows command prompt for <ARIS installation path>server\jre\bin.

  2. Run the command:

    keytool.exe -importcert -file <pathToCertFile> -alias <certificateAlias> -keystore <ARIS installation path>server\jre\lib\security\cacerts -storepass <keystorePassword>

    The default password for the cacerts keystore is changeit.

  3. To check if the import actually worked open a Windows command prompt for <ARIS installation path>server\jre\lib\security and enter:

    keytool -list -keystore cacerts -alias <certificateAlias>

  4. Restart the abs runnable.

The ARIS Server uses the same certificate as the external system.
