CFHTTP error for SSL enabled site

I am trying to get the response from a site that's on https and I am getting:

I/O Exception: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:
java.security.cert.CertPathBuilderException: Could not build a validated path.

I looked for the issue and found that SSL certificate for that needs to be imported so that ColdFusion can use that in order to fix this.

My question is:

We are using Let's Encrypt for SSL installation so it's needs to be renewed every 3 months. Do I need to import the certificates everytime a site has been renewed or new certificates were installed?

Can't JVM import that by itself if a resource over https has been requested and the site certificates are valid and not in keystore?

Just update your Java version to 8u101 or newer and you do not need to import lets-encrypt certificates. – Twillen Apr 11 '18 at 16:21
@Twillen Thanks. I will try to update the version and will let you know. – Abhishekh Gupta Apr 11 '18 at 17:04
