[FIXED] How to set valid certification path when connecting to redis using SSL in Spring Boot?

Issue

I want to connect to redis by using SSL. I set up host, port etc. but when i'm setting...

spring.redis.ssl=true

and when i run the application i got following error:

org.springframework.data.redis.RedisConnectionFailureException:
Unable to connect to Redis; nested exception is io.lettuce.core.RedisConnectionException: Unable to connect to
XXX:XXX at
org.springframework.data.redis.connection.lettuce.LettuceConnectionFactory$ExceptionTranslatingConnectionProvider.translateException(LettuceConnectionFactory.java:1689) ~[spring-data-redis-2.5.7.jar:2.5.7]

Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at java.base/sun.security.ssl.Alert.createSSLException(Alert.java:131) ~[na:na] at java.base/sun.security.ssl.TransportContext.fatal(TransportContext.java:349) ~[na:na]

Actually my certificate (test.pem) is in resources folder in spring boot apllication project. Where should i put the certificate file or how to set the path to this file? I want to set it by application.yml or by java code.

Solution

This configuration works in my case:

@Configuration
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class RedisSSLConfiguration {

  @Value("${spring.redis.host}")
  private String host;

  @Value("${spring.redis.port}")
  private int port;

  @Value("${spring.redis.password}")
  private String password;

  @Value("${spring.redis.ssl:false}")
  private boolean sslEnabled;

  private final ResourceLoader resourceLoader;

  @Bean
  RedisConnectionFactory redisConnectionFactory() throws IOException {
    RedisStandaloneConfiguration redisStandaloneConfiguration = new RedisStandaloneConfiguration();
    redisStandaloneConfiguration.setHostName(host);
    redisStandaloneConfiguration.setPort(port);
    redisStandaloneConfiguration.setPassword(password);

    LettuceClientConfiguration.LettuceClientConfigurationBuilder lettuceClientConfigurationBuilder =
        LettuceClientConfiguration.builder();

    if (sslEnabled){
      SslOptions sslOptions = SslOptions.builder()
          .trustManager(resourceLoader.getResource("classpath:redis.pem").getFile())
          .build();

      ClientOptions clientOptions = ClientOptions
          .builder()
          .sslOptions(sslOptions)
          .protocolVersion(ProtocolVersion.RESP3)
          .build();

      lettuceClientConfigurationBuilder
          .clientOptions(clientOptions)
          .useSsl();
    }

    LettuceClientConfiguration lettuceClientConfiguration = lettuceClientConfigurationBuilder.build();

    return new LettuceConnectionFactory(redisStandaloneConfiguration, lettuceClientConfiguration);
  }

}
