I would suggest you use the XTrustProvider class highlighted in one of my old blog posts:

Click here

 

 

Basically it hooks into the client side certficate validation process to allow self signed server certs so that you don't have to install the cert locally.

 

 

If this isn't an option for you, here is the usage for installCert.

 

 

$ java installCert server_address keystore_password keystore_alias

 

 

This will look in your home directory for a file called .keystore and store the certificate from the webserver at address "server_address".

 

 

Hope this helps...
