I was able to get the communication working using IBMs JDK to BigIP. Here are the changes I made:

 

 

Setting the following properties before calling the XTrustProvider.install method. Used the default keystore file whis was provided as part of the Sun's JRE to set the javax.net.ssl.trustStore

 

 

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", defaultKeyStoreFileFromSunJRE);

 

Security.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl");

 

Security.setProperty("ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLServerSocketFactoryImpl");

 

 

Needed the following two jar files from Websphere:

 

 

com.ibm.ffdc.jar, com.ibm.ws.security.crypto.jar
