body: By looking at one of the stack traces there, we can see a possible issue related to SSL in Confluence:

```
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
```

It seems that after inserting the memory parameters, the JIRA/Confluence certificate was not inserted (or removed) into the Java that Confluence/JIRA is using. Mostly the certificate is not inside the the application cacerts of your instance. So, to check that can you navigate to \*Confluence Admin \> System Information\* and search for \*java.home\*. This will return a path similar to this in your file system: {{\<$JAVA_HOME\>/jre}}

In this Java Home location you'll find the \*cacerts\* file, which is located at {{\<$JAVA_HOME\>/jre/lib/security/cacerts}}

After this, we can follow the steps of this KB article: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Unable+to+Connect+to+SSL+Services+due+to+PKIX+Path+Building+Failed>

In case of this becoming critical for you, the best suggestion would be to raise a new ticket inside our Support Channel (<https://support.atlassian.com)> so specific engineers can proceed helping you here. :smile:

Hope it helps ya!

Cheers,

Giuliano
