PKIX Path Building Failed Error on macOS M1 - Certificate Issue Not Resolved while connecting to ...

I’m encountering a PKIX path building failed error when running KNIME on my MacBook M1. From what I understand, this is typically caused by the application using a standalone Java environment that doesn’t share the system’s certificate store.

I added the following line to my

knime.ini

file:

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=KeychainStore

However, the error persists even after this change.

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Context: This is while connecting to AWS Athena from

DB Connector

node.

Environment:

• KNIME Version: 5.9.0

• OS: macOS (MacBook M1)

• Issue: `PKIX path building failed` error
