I was using my spring-boot service with keycloak for login. Until yesterday I had a keycloak on localhost:8081, but today we have been given a new domain for Keycloak (https://example.com) instead of still using localhost:8081.
For this I had to update my 'etc/hosts' file with the new domain.
The problem is that I can't launch any request from my microservice. I have a controller, with many end-points, but I can't access any of them, I get the error:
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
with this Warning:
Failed to load URLs from https://example.com/auth/realms/REALM/.well-known/openid-configuration
However, from Postman I can access this URL: https://example.com/auth/realms/REALM/.well-known/openid-configuration
In theory, I have my application.yaml well configured with the keycloak settings (I only had to change the auth path, where before it was localhost, is now my https://example.com)
keycloak.auth-server-url: https://example.com/auth/
keycloak.realm: MyREALM
keycloak.resource: login
keycloak.public-client: true
keycloak.credentials.secret: mysecret
I accessed my keycloak (with the new domain), I tried to export the certificate and with Keytools integrate it in the 'cacerts' file but I haven't been able to get it to work.
I've tried following these articles, but they don't solve my problem:
Keycloak: Failed to load URLs in Spring Boot Application
"PKIX path building failed" and "unable to find valid certification path to requested target"
Why is my microservice giving me this error?

I read many info about the certificates, download certificates of HTTPs web and add it to the cacerts file but it doesn't work for me.
The solution (temporally) was:
The problem with certificates was only in mi localhost, not in the development environment.
Then, in local, I opened a port-forward connection with Keycloak service, which throws the certificates-exception. It cans allowed me don't attack directly to the domain from Spring-Boot, avoiding the certificates error.
port-forward service/keycloak 8081:8080
