Weblogic Certificate Error (FATAL Alert:BAD_CERTIFICATE)

I recently configured weblogic to work with a GoDaddy certificate and started getting the following error.

ERROR:

Error: javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException: FATAL Alert:BAD_CERTIFICATE - A corrupt or unuseable certificate was received

SOLUTION:

The solution was to add the following startup option to weblogic.    

"-Dweblogic.security.SSL.allowSmallRSAExponent=true" 

CAUSE:

This error is caused when the encryption strength used to create the cert is lower than the version of java you are using to run Weblogic is expecting.
