SonarQube server [https://private.com] can not be reached

I am encountering an issue while attempting to execute a SonarScanner analysis using Maven. The error message suggests that the SonarQube server cannot be reached, resulting in a build failure.

[ERROR] SonarQube server [https:private.com] can not be reached
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.9.1.2184:sonar (default-cli) on project feature-audit: Unable to execute SonarScanner analysis: Fail to get bootstrap index from server: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target → [Help 1]

Here is what I done in my configuration:
Settings.xml

<pluginGroups>
        <pluginGroup>org.sonarsource.scanner.maven</pluginGroup>
    </pluginGroups>

 <profile>
            <id>sonar</id>
            <activation>
                <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
            </activation>
            <properties>
               
                <sonar.host.url>https://private.com/</sonar.host.url>
            </properties>
        </profile>

…
Included this in my pom.xml

 <plugin>
                <groupId>org.sonarsource.scanner.maven</groupId>
                <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.9.1.2184</version> 
            </plugin>

…
Here is my Jenkins Pipeline

  stage('SONARQUBE ANALYSIS') {
                environment {
                    SONAR_HOST_URL = 'https://private.com/'
                    SONAR_LOGIN = 'token'
                }
                steps {
                    script {
                        env.SRC_LOCAL_PATH = "${WORKSPACE}/src"
                        withSonarQubeEnv('qube') {
                            dir(env.SRC_LOCAL_PATH) {
                                sh "mvn clean package sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=${SONAR_HOST_URL} -Dsonar.login=${SONAR_LOGIN}"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

Hi,

It appears that the HTTPS certificate being used is either self-signed or not recognized by Java’s trusted authorities. To resolve this issue, follow these general instructions: Self-signed certificate on scanner side | SonarQube Docs

Hello there,
Managed to use the Run the keytool command:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias sonarqube -file “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17\lib\security\sonarqubecertifcate.crt” -keystore “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17\lib\security\cacerts”

and this imported the certificate to be added to the Java keystore. However, I get this error when I deploy my application.

While I test it locally using this command: mvn clean verify sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=https://private.com -Dsonar.login=token

I get this error, meanwhile I verified my username and password is correct.
