I am getting below issue when I am trying to establish a connection from Jira to Jenkins using Atlassian Jira Software Cloud plugin by creating a webhook at Jira end. Any suggestion on this issue is highly appreciated.
Jenkins version - 2.401.3 Java version - openjdk 11.0.20 2023-07-18 Atlassian Jira Software Cloud plugin Version - 2.0.9
Please note that Jenkins server is hosted behind a firewall.
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

The error message you’re encountering, “unable to find valid certification path to requested target,” seems to indicate that the Java application (in this case, Jenkins) is unable to establish a secure SSL/TLS connection because it doesn’t trust the certificate authority (CA) that issued the SSL certificate presented by the target server (in this case, your Jira server).
To resolve this issue, I think you will need to ensure that Jenkins trusts the SSL certificate presented by your Jira server.

Maybe you can try this, here is a sample: Jenkins connects with SonarQube
##### docker
# if your jenkins in container whose name is "jenkins", do this:
docker exec jenkins sh -c "echo | openssl s_client -connect sonar.m.local:443 | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > /var/tmp/sonarqube.crt"
# delete it if existed
docker exec jenkins sh -c "keytool -delete -alias sonarqube -cacerts -storepass changeit"
# import it with "-noprompt"
docker exec jenkins sh -c "keytool -import -alias sonarqube -file /var/tmp/sonarqube.crt -cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt"
