SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target , where is the .cer file

Question

If I fire this curl command in CMD or POSTMAN it gives me correct results but when I run it with RestAssured it is giving me below error.

curl -X GET "https://staging.demo.com/mnt_rostr/api/v1/mnt_employees" -H  "accept: application/json" -H  "x-ww-api-token: sgsgshdhhfhf45745675674fhdhfgjjf"

Error:

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

What I tried:

Update the java version to latest
Trying solution on this post "PKIX path building failed" and "unable to find valid certification path to requested target" But I don't know where to get the .cer file.

I am using:

Windows 10
java version "1.8.0_311" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_311-b11) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.311-b11, mixed mode, sharing)

How can I fix this problem?

I don't want to ignore it, Lucas. Is there a way I can use **with** HTTPS? – — paul, Oct 20 '21 at 05:48
