NiFi SSL - unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Hi,

I've just upgraded my lab cluster to NiFi 1.5 and I'm playing around with SSL and LDAP. We have created self signed certificates within our company and I've added the keys/certs to the correspondig truststore/keystore. The base for that was this topic: https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/17293/how-to-create-user-generated-keys-for-securing-nif....

However, the first time when I try to access the NiFi webgui with https, I'm getting the message below.

Is this normal behavior as we use self-signed certs? As I said, it occurs only once after a fresh start of my cluster. If I try to access the webpage again or do a refresh I can access the webgui and I can see the canvas.

If I check my browser and the SSL certifcate in the address field, then I see a complete successful cert chain without any error (of course I had to import the root CA cert into my browser).

openssl shows the public CA certs.

I just tried it with certificates generated by the nifi tls-toolkit, same behavior. I'm getting this error once after cluster restart. On NiFi 1.4 this wasn't the case.

I'm facing similar error.

I am using Nifi 1.2.0. with HTTPS and LDAPS. Recently I have updated the certificated and started facing below error.

I can access Nifi webgui.

When I'm trying to copy files from Nifi gui to S3, I'm getting the below errors.

<br>

I have kept, cacert files in java path

/usr/jdk64/jdk1.8.0_112/jre/lib/security/cacerts<br>

and keystore/trustore files 

/etc/nifi/3.0.1.1-5/0/keystore.jks

/etc/nifi/3.0.1.1-5/0/truststore.jks<br>

I not getting clear, where exactly valid certification path is located. If you know, please suggest.

@Lawand Suraj: Certification Path is not a path on your disk, it is a problem with your certs within the keystore/truststore. Check my screenshot below.

However my issue is still there.

I have replaced keystore/truststore with below commands. Where Ab-ssl-sha2.cer is a certificate used to convert to keystore/truststore. 

/usr/jdk64/jdk1.8.0_112/bin/keytool -import -file /home/Ab-ssl-sha2.cer -keystore /etc/nifi/3.0.1.1-5/0/keystore.jks -alias keystore_internal
/usr/jdk64/jdk1.8.0_112/bin/keytool -import -file /home/Ab-ssl-sha2.cer -keystore /etc/nifi/3.0.1.1-5/0/truststore.jks -alias truststore_internal

Can you please suggest, where need to do changes?

sorry I can't help you with that. I have no knowledge about your certs and their certification path.

Hello,

Certificates were not created properly. I have compared another working certificate with this certificate and found mismatch.

I have verified certificate through openssl command and then I have copied required certificates from other working application server to issued one. Issue is resolved now but still unable find why below commands doesn't works on server

sudo /usr/jdk64/jdk1.8.0_112/bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts -noprompt -storepass xxxx -alias abc-sha2 -file /home/ec2-user/abc-sha2.cer -keystore /usr/jdk64/jdk1.8.0_112/jre/lib/security/cacerts

Hi all  

 

WARN org.apache.hadoop.security.LdapGroupsMapping: Failed to get groups for user impala (retry=1) by javax.naming.CommunicationException: simple bind failed: ad.corporate:<port> [Root exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target]

as we are seeing the above error message with Sentry Service on Cloudera 5.14 after applying new root and intermediate certificates. 

from error message it clearly says certificate is missing.  But which certificates is missing to debug the issue for java application do as below.  

for to debug the issue : 

we  added to sentry under Java Options configuration " -Djavax.net.debug=ssl "  and Examined the Sentry stdout.log from CM UI after the restart of affected services.

 

Therefore under stdout.log it says certificate is missing. Therefore we need to import required certificate to the truststore appropriately or use latest version truststore. 

Try to keep this flag until the issue resolves.. 

 

Hope this helps for someone. 

 

Thanks,
