SSLHandshakeException occurs during call to authenticate in Google Drive API

[aneesu401]

Im using the Google Drive API quick start java project which includes google-api-java-client jar library.
When i perform the TokenRequest Authorization call in Google Drive i receive SSLHandshakeException.
Few forums says to import the certificate to java trusted certificates as a generic solution for SSLHandshakeException.
But im not sure how to get a certificate in this case. i mean which url is needed to be launched in a web browser to get the certificate to add in Java trusted certificates. Please help to fix this issue.

SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

We are running into an issue very similar to this. Our java returns the same error. In our case, the issue is that when the code is run on the server, the initial handshake request to the google server does not include the SNI in the request.
This is the Kotlin code we are calling:

// google-api-client v1.31.4
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleAuthorizationCodeTokenRequest
fun googleTokenResponse(
    clientId: String,
    clientSecret: String,
    authorizationCode: String,
    redirectUri: String
): GoogleTokenResponse {
    return GoogleAuthorizationCodeTokenRequest(
        NetHttpTransport(), GsonFactory(),
        clientId, clientSecret,
        authorizationCode,
        redirectUri
    ).execute()
}

This is the packet response we get when montoring with Wireshark

No SNI provided; please fix your client.

Running the same code locally does not have the same issue. The SNI is passed as expected. Not sure if this is a bug in the library or some misconfiguration in our server.
