Unable to use the SOAP Login API

Hi, I am building a client application to consume the Salesforce webservices using SOAP requests. I am getting the following error when i login itself. com.sforce.ws.ConnectionException: Failed to send request to https://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/33.0/0DFj0000000L5Xv. Thisi is caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPaathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
    at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:174)

I know this is because I am not having the required certificate in my environment. From what I have been reading, all the certificates which I can generate in salesforce are for accessing external webservices from Salesforce. Can somebody direct me to the right certificate.

does your arg has mutual authentication enabled?

if enabled check "Enable the Enforce SSL/TLS Mutual Authentication user permission" is checked for the api user.
