Can any kind soul please point me to some instru

Answer 1

Note: If the other end is a trusted source then you might also skip the certification check, as I had to do because any few months the certificate was changed and I was constrained to import into my local truststore and the other environments' truststores, test, production, the new certificate, every single time.
