Unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Hi,

 

I recently started to receive this error ("Unable to find valid certification path to requested target") in my Force.com IDE when I try to Refresh from Server or Deploy my code to my Sandbox. Can anyone please suggest me how this issue can be resolved?

Hi,

 

To avoid this error please follow the following steps:

Step 1 : Please make sure that the certificate is a signed certificate.

Below mentioned link is to verify the list of certificates supported by the salesforce :

http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php/Outbound_Messaging_SSL_CA_Certificates

Step 2 : If the certificate you are using not supported by the salesforce, you need to change its issuer.

Step 3 : Root Certificate should be included in the list of CA signed certificates that we recognize.

Step4 : Intermediate certificate needs to have trusted chain to the root.
It is important that the correct chain of CA Certificates are specified
where intermediary certificates are involved. We don’t install any
intermediary certificates on our end.

 

Hope this helps!

I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with certificates and how to view them?  Also, would it make sense that I could access the live org but not the sandbox?  Can you adivse how I check the certificate and/or update it? thanks!
