libclient_java can support LetsEncrypt CA by including it in the src/main/resource/org/dataone/client/auth/d1-trusted-certs.crt file. SVN shows this file has not been changed since Oct 31, 2012, so the LetsEncrypt CA is definitely not yet supported.
#2 Updated by Matthew Jones about 7 years ago
Java JDK 8u101 and beyond include the root certificate needed to validate Lets Encrypt certificates out of the box. So we've been upgrading Metacat and Morpho installs to recent Java versions (mostly 8u121) and that's been working great. Including the certificate in the libclient distribution will help with older clients, but we should also be careful to not override the default cert that now ships with Java 8.
#3 Updated by Rob Nahf about 7 years ago
The CertificateManager checks for existence of a certificate before adding it from the trusted-certs file, so it should not clobber the existing one in Java8 environments.

The main determining factor for whether a platform can validate Let’s Encrypt
certificates is whether that platform includes IdenTrust’s DST Root X3 certificate
in its trust store. A secondary factor is whether the platform supports modern
SHA-2 certificates, since all Let’s Encrypt certificates use SHA-2.
Known Compatible (java)
Java 7 >= 7u111
Java 8 >= 8u101
wrt SHA-2, the minimum version is Java 1.4.2+, so we will not worry about that, since DatAONE requires minimum Java 1.6
Adding the LE and IdenTrust root CA certs to d1-tursted-certs.crt file. (previously I committed the intermediate certs mistakenly, so removed those)

created integration test to test ability of d1_libclient_java to trust the LE certificate. They have a test page to hit that uses their certificate: https://helloworld.letsencrypt.org/, and the test does a GET to that URL, and checks for handshake errors.
Handing the ticket over to Roger for the python side.
