Certification doesn't work

[VII86]

Hi, sorry to trouble you.
When executing the guide to build the sample project, everything works fine until the plugin is installed and the server restartet.

Trying to log in yield the following error:
com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.q: java.lang.Exception: Error verifying entry "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" in JAR file mirthpluginsample-client.jar java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.q: java.lang.Exception: Error verifying entry "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" in JAR file mirthpluginsample-client.jar at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.report(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.get(Unknown Source) at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.f.a(SourceFile:416) at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.f.a(SourceFile:371) at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.MirthClientLauncher.run(SourceFile:1326) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.q: java.lang.Exception: Error verifying entry "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" in JAR file mirthpluginsample-client.jar at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.r.a(SourceFile:266) at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.r.a(SourceFile:204) at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.f.a(SourceFile:542) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) ... 1 more Caused by: java.lang.Exception: Error verifying entry "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" in JAR file mirthpluginsample-client.jar at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.r.a(SourceFile:253) ... 6 more Caused by: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found. at org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.PKIXCertPathValidatorSpi_8.engineValidate(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.security.cert.CertPathValidator.validate(Unknown Source) at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.r.a(SourceFile:351) at com.mirth.connect.client.launcher.r.a(SourceFile:245) ... 6 more

I guess the self-signed certificate provided in the plugin is not valid any more?
What are the steps to create a own self-signed certificate?

Thanks a lot!

You're probably using the launcher, but in it's regular more where it's quite strict in which certificates it trusts. You should find the solution here 😉

Thank you for your response.
I found the -k switch in the meantime as well. Works now for me.

Is there any way to circumvent needing to use the -k switch?
I fear I'd have to have a certificate validated by NextGen?

To make MCAL not complain about it, you'd have to purchase a code signing certificate. My personal known goods are ssl.com and digicert.com, but there have been reports of other CAs being fine too.

Also, to not let the opportunity go to waste, I am available for hire to develop Mirth plugins.
