Well, that must be the issue. I just ran it through the debugger, and getCertificateChain is returning null each time. I’ve added code in my subclassed Merlin to be able to walk up the tree, but it’d be more efficient if the truststore was built properly so I’ll try to figure that out.

Just bear in mind that WSS4J won't wire up the trust chain using individual certs stored in the truststore, the intermediate cert must have the issuing cert stored as part of the certificate chain entry.

The truststore has certs for the issuer, intermediate, and root CA, plus a few other miscellaneous certs. I’ll run it through the debugger later this morning and see what turns up. Stephen W.

Your intermediate CA should have the issuing CA certs stored as part of the entry in the keystore/truststore. Is this not the case? Can you debug into getCertificates() and find out why it is only returning a single cert? Colm.

I have a requirement to validate all the certs in the cert path, which in my case has an additional intermediate before getting to the trust anchor. I'm able to loop there and get everything into the cert path, which seems to get everything revocation checked so that is good. But I was curious why only the immediate issuer was added to begin with - is there some issue I should be considering that I'm not? There's also an open question (or rather, open disagreement) about revocation checking the Root CA cert, but this list is probably not the right place for that discussion. Stephen W.

In fact, subclassing Merlin and adding a method to configure additional PKIX parameters is exactly what I did. Thanx, Stephen W.

I could add a method to customize the PKIXParameters object though, that could be overridden by a subclass though which would be better. Or do you have any other suggestions? Colm.
