I am writing a program for work and I have been stumped on this issue for almost a week now. The program keeps throwing the same exception no matter what I do.
I have looked up every known resource and every question related to this problem and every attempt and suggestion has failed. According to 90% of posts I've come across, it says that I should use keytool to add the certificate to my keystore. This is what I have attempted:
keytool -import -alias abc -file ~/Downloads/\*.gcsip.nl #=> gcsip.nl is the certificate I downloaded from the browser.
It asked me for a password, I added it, and my app still doesn't work when I run it. I looked into "How to import certificates into Eclipse project" and they recommended that I do the same command. I have never dealt with Java certificates before, but it's been a true absolute nightmare.
The weird part was that the app was working perfectly fine one day, and when I came into work, this exception started happening. I literally changed nothing.
I've also looked into the other Caused by: exceptions including Invalid keystore format and have had no luck solving that either. Honestly, even after reading the Oracle docs throughly, I still have no idea what a keystore is, does, and is supposed to look like.
I am just looking for someone who's had experience with this issue who can elaborate (like I'm 5) on how keystore works and how I can fix it. Any help is extremely appreciated.
I should note that I am not very Java savvy.
