FATAL: com.microsoft.tfs.core.exceptions.TECoreException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

1. Upgraded the Jenkins.
2. Created a slave.
3. Installed latest JDK on Slave machine and launched the slave.
3. when tagged a job with slave and ran it, getting above error ..
4. did search on google and as per search added public cert of my target TFS to the java keystore which is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_131\lib\security\cacerts.
5. it worked for 2 jobs, for some purpose i un tagged the job and ran on master , again i tagged it back to slave and ran it.. again the issue came back.
6. tried to add the cert again, but its prompted cert is already in keystore ..
7 did uninstall and re install of slave and changes JAVA version .. no luck..
