Java NoSuchAlgorithmException - SunJSSE, sun.secur

Question

Background

I have been using the Authorize.net SDK in an Eclipse project of it's own. Everything was working great. I then needed to add it to my main project. I added the dependencies to the class path and the copied in the block of code that I needed. It should have worked.

Problem

Long story short, the code wouldn't work where I placed it. However, it will work when I bring it right out to the main method in the project.

In the place it won't work I stepped through the code with the debugger and found the following exception:

java.net.SocketException: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing implementation (algorithm: Default, provider: SunJSSE, class: sun.security.ssl.SSLContextImpl$DefaultSSLContext)

thrown at:

HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

Note: httpClient = DefaultHttpClient from Apache

I'm completely stumped now. Don't what is causing this error. In Eclipse both products appear to be targeting the same JRE. They also both have httpclient-4.0.1.jar. Note that The problematic project also has some other dependencies that the working project doesnt { boneCP, guava, mysql_connector_java, protobuf }

I don't think the extra jars are the cause as the problem code works at a different location in the project.

Any ideas on what is wrong are greatly appreciated, i've spent the day debugging this and don't know where to go next.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Well after doing some more searching I discovered the error may be related to other issues as invalid keystores, passwords etc.

I then remembered that I had set two VM arguments for when I was testing SSL for my network connectivity.

I removed the following VM arguments to fix the problem:

-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=mySrvKeystore -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=123456

Note: this keystore no longer exists so that's probably why the Exception.

Answer 2

I've had a similar issue with this error. In my case, I was entering the incorrect password for the Keystore.

I changed the password for the Keystore to match what I was entering (I didn't want to change the password I was entering), but it still gave the same error.

keytool -storepasswd -keystore keystore.jks

Problem was that I also needed to change the Key's password within the Keystore.

When I initially created the Keystore, the Key was created with the same password as the Keystore (I accepted this default option). So I had to also change the Key's password as follows:

keytool -keypasswd  -alias my.alias -keystore keystore.jks

Answer 3

I had the similar issue. The problem was in the passwords: the Keystore and private key used different passwords. (KeyStore explorer was used)

After creating Keystore with the same password as private key had the issue was resolved.
