Creating a standalone client for https calling

Hi,

well, i have to call an URL using https.

I have a certificate to send to the URL for the authentication.

How can i do this ?

Is there a place where to put the certificate ?

The certificate is installed on my Internet Explorer, so i exported it and save it on my computer.

During the export process Internet Explorer asked me to specify a passaword, is this password important for the authentication ?

I mean, can i specify any password or do i have to ask to the administrator of the website i have to call ?

Cheers.

Stefano

See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html.

If the certificate you've been given is the server's certificate it needs to be placed in a 'truststore'. If it's supposed to be your own certificate it needs to be placed in a 'keystore', in both cases as described in the link above.
