[Android] [Solved] Webdav: Trust anchor for certification path not found.
-----------
[Solved] Android 6.0.1 didn't have some Root certificates for the corresponding SSL certificate my WebDAV server has.
The solution is to install them manually.
In my case it was a Let's Encrypt certificate that can be downloaded from Let's Encrypt Chains of Trust (find ISRG Root X1 and Let’s Encrypt R3 in
Then to go to
If prompted for a name for each certificate: input anything, like LEcert1 and LEcert2.
That's it.
I have WebDAV on Android, joy, oh joy ☺.

Original problem:
-----------
Hi,
Zotero desktop syncs fine with my DreamHost WebDAV, but I can't get to verify the server with the new Android app version.
It throws this https error:
Report ID: D1494425249
Any ideas as to what might be the problem?
Thanks :O)
I'm so close, oh so close, to WebDAV on Android...

dstillmanMost likely Android 6 (which came out in 2015) doesn't have the necessary root certificate in its certificate store. It's possible you can install it manually in the OS settings, but I don't know.
