Actually all you need to do is use Windows-ROOT as trustStoreType. This will use built-in certificates so if anything works in your browser then it should work.

1. Add to VM options:
   • -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=Windows-ROOT
   • -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\\Windows\\win.ini
2. Restart the server.

Note! Probably any readable file can be used as a trustStore path. It's not really used.

You can also use Windows-MY instead so:

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=Windows-MY
