Question

I have just installed Orbeon 3.9 CE on a WebSphere WAS 7.0 environment all was looking well but when I tried to add a form I got and error sating “peer not authenticated”.
I turned on debugging in the log4j.xml file and this is what I got out of it:

Answer 1

This looks like an error that would happen if you use HTTPS with an invalid certificate (such as a self-signed certificate). If this is what you are doing, you can either:

• Add the your certificate to your VM trust store. (I’ll let you lookup how to do this on WebSphere.)
• Use HTTP instead of HTTPS, at least during development where you don’t have a valid certificate.
• Get a real certificate, for instance from StartSSL which issues class 1 certificate for free.
