How to fix "SSLHandshakeException" when using Spring RestTemplate with self signed certificate
Bhdr
I'm trying to call a REST Api (https, secured with a self-signed certificate) with a Java client using Spring's RestTemplate. When I try to use Postman, it succeeds. I have a crt file and a private key file. I have them defined in postman settings/certificates and the request is successful. However, when I try to use the Java code, I get an SSLHandshakeException.
I am using Java 11 and Spring Boot. I created a .jks file using keytool and put it in the classpath. The keytool command I use is:
keytool-导入-alias别名-file blahblah.crt -keypass keypass -keystore mykeystore.jks -storepass mystorepass
(I thought I couldn't use the .crt certificate file directly, so I created the .jks file)
Then I run the following code:
URL storeUrl = new URL("classpath:mykeystore.jks");
SSLContext sslContext = new SSLContextBuilder()
.setProtocol("TLSv1.2")
.loadTrustMaterial(new TrustSelfSignedStrategy())
.loadKeyMaterial(storeUrl, trustStorePassword.toCharArray(), keyPassword.toCharArray())
.build();
SSLConnectionSocketFactory socketFactory = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext);
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.custom()
.setSSLSocketFactory(socketFactory)
.build();
HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory factory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient);
restTemplate = new RestTemplate(factory);
//...
restTemplate.postForObject(myUri, new HttpEntity<>(json, httpHeaders), String.class);
The console output is:

I've been trying to fix for 2 days and still can't find a solution. Is there something I can't see, or is it possible to understand why the handshake fails? thank you very much.

I'll answer my own question: yes, we need to create a .jks file from a .crt file. Then, the Java code is:
try {
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("jks");
File keyFile = new File(KEY_STORE_FILE);
FileSystemResource fileSystemResource = new FileSystemResource(keyFile);
InputStream inputStream = fileSystemResource.getInputStream();
keyStore.load(inputStream,
Objects.requireNonNull(KEY_STORE_PASS).toCharArray());
SSLConnectionSocketFactory socketFactory = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(new SSLContextBuilder()
.loadTrustMaterial(null, new TrustSelfSignedStrategy())
.loadKeyMaterial(keyStore,
KEY_PASS.toCharArray()).build(),
NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE);
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(socketFactory)
.build();
HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient);
restTemplate.setRequestFactory(requestFactory);
return restTemplate;
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.debug("SSL keystore exception", e);
throw new BlahBlahException(e);
}
