'Manage Plugins' creates exception: SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Hi

Katalon version 6.2.0 (and 6.1.5)
Windows 10, Java JRE 1.8

I’m unable to connect to the plugin store, which means I cannot generate reports or see the nice-looking new plugins. I’m behind a corpororate firewall and have been given a node address to use.
Either my config is not quite right or else I’m missing another step.

When I click ‘Manage Plugins’ I get:

I’m unsure what ‘SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target’ means and what certificate is needed?

Regards
Dan

Hi

I followed the instructions in post Plugin Store behind firewall and this is now working for me (find the certificate for proxy, export it, import into keystore).
I got the certificate by opening Certificate Manager (in Windows), doing a search for the name of the proxy provider, then exporting the certicate I found).
I supplied the node address of the proxy under the proxy settings as well + port number (no username/password required).
Regards,
Dan
