Yes. We are using self-signed certificate.

I imported the certificate in "cacerts" file.
I had to set following runtime properties to make it work.


System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "PathTo\\cacerts");
            System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "Password");
            System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "PathTo\\cacerts");
            System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "Password");

I am not sure why password is required when accessing from Java and not from Web Broswer?

Thanks
