Hi Rob,

thanks for your answer, but it still does not work well for me. As you rightly 
assumed, I am working on a client application and received a "trusted" 
certificate package containing a *.cer and a *.pem file.

If I remove the two lines messenger.setCertificate and messenger.setPrivateKey 
as suggested, and use 

messenger.setTrustedCertificates(certificate); with the *.cer file, I receive 
following exception: org.apache.qpid.proton.engine.TransportException: 
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: General SSLEngine problem

messenger.setTrustedCertificates(certificate); with the *.pem file yields:  
org.apache.qpid.proton.engine.TransportException: 
org.apache.qpid.proton.engine.TransportException: File 
./src/main/config/CBKER.pem does not provide a object of the required type. 
Read an object of class 
org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.asymmetric.rsa.BCRSAPrivateCrtKey whilst 
expecting an implementation of one of the following  : [class 
java.security.cert.Certificate]

If I use messenger.setCertificate (certificate); instead (just without the 
private key statement), I have as well Exceptions for both file types:
org.apache.qpid.proton.engine.TransportException: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: 
Received fatal alert: bad_certificate

Unfortunately I am not at all an SSL expert and kind of desparate ...

Kind regards
Frank

So - I'm no expert on the Messenger API, but if you are the client connecting 
to a server providing SSL I would expect that you should be providing the 
certificates that you trust.  The API calls above would seem to be for the case 
where you are writing the server and you are providing the certificate and the 
private key for the certificate.

Messenger appears to provide a method

    messenger.setTrustedCertificates(String trusted);

Have you tried using this, and removing the two statements above?

As above - I think you are making the wrong API calls, calling
setPrivateKey() you would need to be providing a file containing an RSA Private 
Key... but as the client you don't need to do this - you only need to provide 
the certificate of the server you trust, or the certificate of a signing 
authority who has signed the certificate of your server.

Hope this helps,
Rob
