Error - trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

hudson, jakarta-mail, java, jenkins

Solution

This bizarre message means that the trust store you specified was:

- empty,

- not found, or

- couldn't be opened, due for example to:

- wrong/missing `trustStorePassword`, or

- file access permissions.

Problem

I'm trying to configure my e-mail on Jenkins/Hudson, and I constantly receive the error: ``` java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty ``` I've seen a good amount of information online about the error, but I have not gotten any to work. I'm using Sun's JDK on Fedora Linux (not OpenJDK). Here are a few things I've tried. I tried following the advice from this post, but copying the cacerts from Windows over to my Fedora box hosting Jenkins didn't work. I tried following this guide as I'm trying to configure Gmail as my SMTP server, but it didn't work either. I also tried to download and move those cacert files manually and move them over to my Java folder using a variation of the commands on this guide. I am open to any suggestions as I'm currently stuck right now. I have gotten it to work from a Windows Hudson server, but I am struggling on Linux.
