ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
x509 authentication fails with: Path does not chain with any of the trust anchors

In logs appears:

..............
<date/time> <Error> <oracle.oam.engine.authn> <OAMSSA-12117> <Cannot validate the user certificate. java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Path does not chain with any of the trust anchors
...............

 

For Authentication was configured OAM X509 Auth module to authenticate end users with certificates.

Furthermore,  the CA certificate was added to the amtruststore and saved the configuration in the DB by using WLST: saveAccessArtifacts

In front of the OAM there is OHS, which terminates TLS and propagates the client certificate in WL-Proxy-Client-Cert HTTP header.
OHS is configured to require client certificates issued by the CA that is imported to the amtruststore.
