Check out this link for some help:

Only problem is that it requires JDK 1.4. The JSSE packages do not cut it.

Subject: unable to authenticate against company-generated certificate


Hi everyone,

I have a servlet that is tasked to download various files from a secure
site.   It uses an HttpsURLConnection to connect to the site's root and
passes my Authenticator class (w/ username and password) as the default
authenticator.   It used to work fine until the site's admin replaced their
verisign certificate with an in-house-generated one.  Now my servlet
receives a java.security.cert.CertificateException stating that it cannot
find a trusted certificate.

I tried adding the server's certificate to my server's keystore, but I'm
afraid that didn't work.  I believe I have to obtain the certificate and
somehow validate it.  If anyone has experience with this I'd greatly
appreciated it.

Thanks in advance,
-Becky
