You could try using the spring-boot-ssl-truststore-gen which adds the certificate to the system truststore inside the buikdpack:

First you need this in your pom.xml (or alternative):

   
      jcenter
      http://jcenter.bintray.com 
      
        true
        never
        warn
      
       
         true
         warn
      
   
 

and

    com.orange.clara.cloud.boot.ssl-truststore-gen
    spring-boot-ssl-truststore-gen
    2.0.21

Next declare the certificate in your manifest.yml:

env:
    TRUSTED_CA_CERTIFICATE: |-
        -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
        changeme
        -----END CERTIFICATE-----

That's it. When you cf push your application, the certificate will get added to the truststore.
