OAS 7.6 SSL configuration issue

Question

Hello All, We did fresh installation and configuration for OAS 7.6 everything worked perfect. tried to implement SSL configurations and updated nodemanager.properties and console (Adminserver & managed server -Keytools & SSL tabs) used below document for reference. OBIEE 12c/OAS: How To Configure SSL Including Examples (Doc ID 2188982.1) while restarting services getting below error.

Unable to connect to running NodeManager on host: xxxxx, due to: Error occurred while performing nmConnect : Cannot connect to Node Manager. : sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target Use dumpStack() to view the full stacktrace : Fatal: Failed to start one or more Servers (return 3) Any suggestions to fix this issue? Thanks, Suresh.

I had a similar issue as well. To resolve it, I changed the Hostname Verification from BEA Hostname Verifier to blank for both the Admin & BI server in the Advanced section of the SSL tab.

Suresh,

As an aside curiosity question, why the new installation of OAS 2024 (7.6) and not OAS 2025 (8.2)?

Suresh,

We've had this similar issue - and two things to check. Ensure that your SSL Certificate is properly signed. We had self-signed through our domain and they weren't acceptable. Needed to be from a proper CA.

Also - check the alias' are included into the java keystore as well. (That pesky other keystore for the trust cacerts).
