Java and HTTPS

Hello all,

We have a requirement to send a file to a business partner at a certain web 
address using the HTTPS protocol. So I have been trying to configure SSL on our 
iSeries (which is at V5R3). First I got the message "The certificate container 
*SYSTEM could not be accessed" so I set up a certificate authority and created 
a certificate. Then I got the authorization problems so (via the archives of 
this list) I found out how to allow access to the certificate.

Now the message I am getting is "Certificate is not signed by a trusted 
certificate authority". And now I'm stuck. I've been going through the "iSeries 
Wired Network Security" redbook and it says that the iSeries comes with 
certificates from Verisign and so on. But I don't see how to make Java use 
those certificates. And it's got a section on configuring which applications 
will trust my certificate authority, but "Java" doesn't seem to be one of the 
applications on the list.

So as I say, I'm stuck. Does anybody know what I should do next? Or am I going 
down the wrong path?

Regards
Paul Clapham
