LetsEncrypt cert causing CertPathValidatorException for HTTP private mode?
See original GitHub issueI’m currently trying to set up this app with home assistant behind an nginx reverse proxy, which uses a wildcard cert from LetsEncrypt. I’ve never had troubles with other apps accessing HA on my phone, but OwnTracks v1.2.7 shows the following error when using HTTP private connection mode:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.
I’ve not specified a server CA and honestly don’t want to - my phone should already trust it. Any ideas how this can be fixed? Thanks in advance!
(btw, using a Google Pixel with latest Android 9 beta)

Good question. If the phone trusts the LE CA chain it should work like you mentioned. I’ve my own root CA and subordinate CA added to the Android store and it works like a charm.
I’ll add a LE certificate and check for any issues.
Fun fact: I renewed my cert via acme.sh and suddenly it works without the client CA with the same OS and OwnTracks version… it probably was a server side issue then, so sorry for wasting your time and thanks for the support 😃
