Hello,
After my first post concerning the SSL and the tool PorteCle (http://www.javablog.fr/java-ssl-generate-keystore-self-signed-certificate-tool-portecle.html) allowing the generation of KeyStore, self-signed certificate instead of Keytool supported in the JDK / JRE, I would like to present a new tool KeyStore Explorer.
KeyStore Explorer is an open source GUI replacement for the Java command-line utilities keytool and jarsigner. KeyStore Explorer presents their functionality, and more, via an intuitive graphical user interface.

JAVA CACERTS truststore
First, a truststore is used to authenticate peers. A keystore contains private keys of the clients and is used to authenticate yourself.
So, there is also a truststore ‘cacerts‘ used to authenticate the java process executed in JVM using the JDK. Java stores in this truststore the public certificates of root CAs. Java uses cacerts to authenticate java processes with remote servers (example during a proxies generation via WSDL). You could add the certificat of remote servers in the ‘cacerts‘ truststore.
The Java ‘cacerts‘ truststore is a file accessible in the folder $JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\security (ex: C:\SDK\jdk1.X.Y_ZZ\jre\lib\security).
Note : Set the JAVA_HOME (if using JDK) or JRE_HOME (if using JRE) environment variables.
It is protected by a default password (ex: “changeit” or “changeme”) which could be modified by the following commands:
Add -storepass to keytool arguments. $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -storepasswd -storepass '' -keystore mykeystore.jks
But also notice that -list command does not always require a password. I could execute follow command in both cases: without password or with valid password
$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -list -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts
Disable Certificate Validation in Java SSL Connections
An other solution could be disable Certificate Validation in Java SSL Connections:

The above error/problem could be fixed by disabling HTTPS checks using the approach presented in the web site https://nakov.com/blog/2009/07/16/disable-certificate-validation-in-java-ssl-connections/
