  • 1.  When when trying to connect ot 3rd party errors in PKIX path binding failed.

    Posted 09-10-2024 17:07

    I am trying to call an external API from maximo.
    I always get this error PKIX path binding failed.
    Does any one know where do I need to set the SSL certificate of that 3rd party website.

    This is not a user accessing maximo. For that we use the ikeyman and set the SSL certificate.
    This is the scenario when maximo is trying to access a third party site and it is getting PKIX path binding failed.

    Rana,

    If you are using WebSphere you can add a certificate for your external application that is trying to connect to Maximo. Here are some steps:

    1. Log into the administrative console.

    2. Expand Security and click SSL certificate and key management.

    3. Under Related Items, click Key stores and certificates, then click the CellDefaultTrustStore link

    4. Under Additional Properties, click Signer certificates

    5. Click the Retrieve From Port button

    6. In the Host field, enter hostname of your third party app

    7. Enter the Port (usually 443 will work)

    8. Enter an alias of your choice to the certificate in the Alias field

    9. Click Retrieve Signer Information.

    10. Verify that the certificate information is correct, then click Apply and Save

    You can also do an Add versus Retrieve if you have a crt file to load. 

    Hope this helps,

    Mike

    @Michael Marsonet laid out the steps correctly. I had written an article several years ago with these same steps here:

    Hope this helps,
