Run Program in debug mode to display content of certificate from keystore:

java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/my/custom/keystore SSLPoke localhost 443

If this fails (confirming the problem), the solution is to remove the -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore  parameter, import your custom keystore certificates into the main keystore with, keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore /my/custom/keystore -destkeystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts,  and restart the application.

If you are sure the certificate is trusted and found by Java, and you are having low-level SSL problems, you can get debug information in the stdout logs by setting the  property -Djavax.net.debug=all property.
