You should first check what certificate server is sending you.To do it:

1. Turn on ssl debug: -Djavax.net.debug=all
2. Find the following lines in log: *** Certificate chain ...
3. Find who the issuer of certificate
4. Add issuer certificate to some trust store (actually if you receive cert. chain you can add root certificate)
5. Rerun with -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=path/to/new/truststore and -Djava.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=...

BTW:

1. You don't need to explicitly specify java trust store
2. every setting of same system property overrides previous value
3. you have strange line: DEBUG: trying to connect to host "10.53.151.183", port 143, isSSL false
