java - spring boot app unable to detect truststore

Question

When I tried to start my spring boot app, I specified following 3 VM arguments:

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=truststore.jks
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore.password=123456

I see the following 2 lines in the logs and my application failed to start with ssl error:

javax.net.ssl|DEBUG|17|restartedMain|2021-01-28 09:07:35.247 EST|TrustStoreManager.java:161|Inaccessible trust store: truststore.jks
javax.net.ssl|DEBUG|17|restartedMain|2021-01-28 09:07:35.248 EST|TrustStoreManager.java:112|trustStore is: C:Program FilesJavajdk-11.0.5libsecuritycacerts

I have put my trustore.jks file in src/main/resource folder but somehow spring boot is unable to access/detect it, also I am on a corporate machine and can't add the server certificates to cacerts so that solution won't work for me.

Answer 1

for -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore you need to set the full path to the store /path/to/truststore.jks and also you need to set the type of store like this

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=jks
