Hello,
since release 2.5 some certificates fail with "Error building
certPath. No data available in passed DER encoded value." The Issuer
certificates are available and shown as valid, Djigzo Version 2.4.x
also show the certs as valid. Any idea what could be wrong?

No this is new to me. Can you send me the certificates? Or are you
unable to export them?
Kind regards,
Martijn

The certificate contains invalid data (at least invalid according to RFC
5280). The invalid data was silently ignored with OpenJDK 6 but OpenJDK
7 seems to be more strict (the Virtual Appliance by default uses OpenJDK 6).
Details:
The IssuerAltName extension is defined in RFC 5280 as:
IssuerAltName ::= GeneralNames
GeneralNames ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF GeneralName
So there should be at least one GeneralName if the IssuerAltName
extension is defined. The certificate in question however contains an
empty IssuerAltName sequence. This is not allowed. In Java 6, this was
silently discarded but Java 7 seems to be more strict.
For a similar report see

Kind regards.

I see, so the real "fix" would be to get a more obvious error message
in Djigzo? If the certificate is invalid Djigzo is right to say so,
but a pointer to *what* is invalid would be great. And BTW no need for
additional Djigzo workarounds as it is still possible to add such
certificates to the CTL.
Many Thanks
Andreas

The problem is that the exception is thrown somewhere deep within a Java
class. The information which is shown is the information which is
available. Because I analysed the certificate manually (using a java
test and asn1 dump) I know why the certificate is not valid.

You are right. I didn't thought about this workaround :)
