Connecting to wildcard SSL certificates?

I'm trying to do a HTTPS connection to a host using a wildcard certificate from GoDaddy. When I attempt to connect to it I get the following exception:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: CA key usage check failed: keyCertSign bit is not set

at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:150)

at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.fatal(SSLSocketImpl.java:1476)

Is there a way to allow wildcard certificates without allowing non-valid certificates?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

I have the same problem so it seems. I need to connect to a server with an SSL certificate from German Telecom and I get the same exception.

Have you found a solution to this problem yet?

You are talking about alowing non-valid certificates? how is that possible?

Thanks,

Leander
