Exception caught while sending https secure messages

[pramodh somashekara]

Hi,

we are using IBM Websphere 5.0.2 with JRE 1.3.1 in our application. To communication with other applications, we are using IBM HTTP server. But from last two days, we are getting the following exception

Exception caught while sending https message. (sendSecureSocketMessage)
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: certificate expired
at com.ibm.jsse.bd.a(Unknown Source)
at com.ibm.jsse.bd.startHandshake(Unknown Source)
.....
stack trace of my application from where this is originated.

I am very new to Websphere. Any help in solving this issue is appreciated.

It shows the certification expired.

You need to get a new certification. Please use keytool to check your certification is expired first. If it is expired, please contact your CA for a new certification. Then import it to your keystore and start using it.
