Getting Java to trust your SSL protected server on Ubuntu

[Aaron Zirbes]

Indirectly related to Groovy/Grails, but I thought others would find this useful...

I just found a slick way to get the JVM on Ubuntu to trust your server(s) SSL cert(s).

I had to add a few of these to get Jenkins to trust my staging servers SSL certs (since there's a new

intermediate cert that Java didn't trust...boom, stacktrace!) and it's pretty painless.

This should work fine for self-signed certs as well.

The magic script is here:

Hope it help someone!
