No trusted certificate found

As I said, XTrustProvider and installCert are two different options. You don't need to use them both. If for some reason you are having problems with XTrustProvider working in real-time, then here's how installCert works.

 

 

Run java installCert bigip_address keystore_password keystore_alias

 

 

Where

 

bigip_address is the ip address of the BIG-IP

 

keystore_password is the password of your local keystore {user.home}/.keystore

 

keystore_alias is the alias for the new entry in your keystore.

 

 

If you need help creating a keystore, take a look a the documentation for sun's keytool command.

 

 

Then in your client code you will need to specify the location of the keystore.

 

 

 System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", System.getProperty("user.home") + "/.keystore");

 

 

Here is probably where a potential problem could lie. If your "user.home" variable is different in the context of running the installCert command and the context of your web application, then this will not work. You might want to hardcode a location in your app to the real location of the keystore.

 

 

 System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "/full/path/to/.keystore");

 

 

And make sure that the identity your webserver is running under has access to that file.
