Hi All,

For one of my projects we use the SonarScanner CLI. Previously we have been running the 4.7v and it worked flawlessly, but now that I have upgraded to the latest which is 5.0.1v I get the following error.

My question is, is there any massive difference between 4.7 and 5.0.1 where I perhaps have to append a new sonarqube parameter or something along those lines? I wanted to look at the release notes, but they link me to a Jira board which was not much of help. In addition, this is ran in a docker environment and my Sonarqube Server is running on 9.9.1v and it seems to be throwing this error only when running 5.0.1 and not 4.7.

Much thanks

Hi,

This isn’t about the scanner version but about your SSL certificates. When you upgraded the server, I suppose you jumped from Java 11 to Java 17 too. You need to get your certificate chain imported into the new JVM’s trust store. [The docs](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/latest/analyzing-source-code/scanner-environment/install-self-signed-certificate/) should help.

Hi Ann,

I never upgraded my server, only the scanner cli. The only difference is that for 4.7 sonar scanner we use Java 11 while for 5.0.1 we use Java 17, but I assume SSL certificates are still the issue? I’ll update the new JVM’s trust store and let you know if it fixes it or not.

Many thanks

Due to upgrading Java from 11 to 17, Java17 keystore did not have my cert so as Ann suggested, all I had to do is import my existing cert into the JVM’s trust store (/jre/lib/security/cacerts) with the command `keytool -importcert -file <cert_name>.crt -keystore cacerts -alias "whatever_alias_you_have_named_it"`
