Grails create-app unable to find valid certification path to requested target

I have setup grails 3.2.1. on windows JAVA_HOME and GRAILS_HOME is also set. verified by running grails -version and worked as expected.

But when issue command to create app, it always throw following error

"Error occurred running Grails CLI: unable to find valid certification path to requested target (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)".

I tried it by disconnecting the internet and come to know its trying to connect to https://repo.grails.org

It seems that some certificates must be in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts. with this thought I downloaded the SSL certificates from https://repo.grails.org by accessing the URL in browser.

same certificates imported in the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts but still no change.

I could not find even a single related post over the internet.

when creating Grails app in Netbeans 8, I get the same error.

I don't know if I need any other valid certificate or there is any other problem.

Many thanks in advance for any help on this.

This problem is due to proxy server. i traced the network log. https://repo.grails.org resolves to proxy ip, I guess, because when i access the ip over htps in browser it presents me a certificate which really not in my keystore, when i add the same in my keystore an "host name mismatch error" is thrown instead of "unable to find valid certification path to requested target".

i tried to run this at my home pc and it worked though there are other issues but good to go with next step to work on Grails.

Thanks

Use the "HTTP version" repository

Add the following configuration in USER_HOME/.grails/settings.groovy:

grails {
    profiles {
        repositories {
            myRepo {
               url = "http://repo.grails.org/grails/core/"
            }
        }
    }
}
