Question

Edit :- Tried to format the question and accepted answer in more presentable way at mine Blog

Here is the original issue.

Answer 1

Below code works for me :

import java.security.cert.CertificateException;
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate;

import javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager;

public class TrustAnyTrustManager implements X509TrustManager {

public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException {
}

public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException {
}

public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return new X509Certificate[] {};
}
}

HttpsURLConnection conn = null;
            URL url = new URL(serviceUrl);
            conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
             SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");  
             sc.init(null, new TrustManager[]{new TrustAnyTrustManager()}, new java.security.SecureRandom());  

             conn.setSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
