Selft signed SSL tREST

[_AnonymousUser]

I am trying to call a rest service with a self signed certificate but I get the error below. Any suggestions to bypass this?
Exception in component tREST_1

Hello, you need to have the certificate installed as "trusted" or the connections will fail.  The trusted store for the JVM is <java home>/jre/lib/security/cacerts and you can import yours there with keytool to get it to be trusted.  Try

keytool -import -noprompt -trustcacerts -alias <give it an alias> -file <path to certificate> -keystore <path to cacerts>

and see that if that alleviates your issue.  If not you can try putting it into your own keystore and using the tSetKeystore component.  See  this for the official documentation on importing a certificate and  this for more information on the keytool (it's the man page for it).
Hope that helps!
