FIX ssl handshake error

Exchange/Pro API
1

Hello all,

I’m having a great deal of trouble getting the FIX ssl handshake to work correctly.

I am sending a client hello and receiving a server hello. However, when consuming the server hello I’m getting a fatal CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN error. Is there a specific server certificate I should be adding to my trust store?

I’ve extracted the server certificates using this command :

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect fix-public.sandbox.exchange.coinbase.com:4198 </dev/null | sed -n -e '/-.BEGIN/,/-.END/ p' > certifs.sandbox.exchange.pem

And I’ve created a java trust store using this command :

keytool -importcert -file certifs.sandbox.exchange.pem -keystore truststore.sandbox.exchange.jks -alias coinbase

Finally I build a trust store using the created jks store and attempt to create an SSLSocket. At is at this time that I encounter the error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
