  1. Go to URL in your firefox browser, click on HTTPS certificate chain (next to URL address). Click "more info" > "security" > "show certificate" > "details" > "export..". Pickup the name and choose file type example.cer. Now you have file with keystore and you have to add it to your JVM

  2. Determine location of cacerts files, eg. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_22\lib\security\cacerts.

  3. Next import the example.cer file into cacerts in command line:

  4. keytool -import -alias example -keystore C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_22\lib\security\cacerts -file example.cer

You will be asked for password which default is changeit

Restart your JVM/PC.
