Occasionally you need to connect to an HTTPS server using java where the public certificate protecting the host is not siogned by a trusted 3rd party CA.
For example self-signed certificates.
This would be the case for example in Mule where you use the HTTPS connector with no trust store configuration.
In order to get the certificate trusted it has to be imported into the trust store of the java runtime being used.
That's held in a file [jre]\lib\security\cacerts
There is an open source tool called InstallCert that can be used to import a certificate into the trust store.
I've got a copy locally in my d:\tools folder, but you can get it and compile it if you want.
