Trust Store Location - Document and provide way to change

[kaltinril]

Issue:
When I tried to connect to our weblogic server, it failed with "Attempt Failed: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"

I used SSLPoke to test and got the same error, so I updated java's trust cacerts with my companies root cert, re-testeed with SSLPoke and it worked.

I then tried again with Remote Console and got the same error.

When I went to open a ticket in Oracle support site, an article showed up that told me there is a custom trust store inside the installation folder of the application.

Suggestions:

1. Document the location of the trust store, and this specific error in your site.
2. Provide a mechanism/dropdown/settings to repoint the trust store at either the (system) trust store like windows, or the installed java trust store.

Reasons:

1. Missing documentation causes wasted time for users troubleshooting
2. Using a custom trust store means users have to maintain another location for their companies certificates

The WebLogic Remote Console does support configuration of the Identity and Trust stores used for WebLogic connections.

The documentation on connection with SSL/TLS describes the options, see here.

You can type in a trust store like Windows-ROOT or JDK keystore, here is a screen shot of the settings page:
