I have developed an Java application that creates user accounts on a windows DC using ldaps which works fine after importing the self signed certificate from the windows server to my local keystore.
Now i have created a web service running on glassfish 4.0 and using the same code to create the accounts.
The problem is now the web service is now giving me the error below which i initially had but solved it by importing the certificate to my local keystore (cacerts)

Info: java.lang.NullPointerException
I have even tried to import the certificate into cacerts.jks and keystore.jks in the
C:\Program Files\glassfish-4.0\glassfish\domains\domain1\config
folder but to no avail.
I have also tried setting the keystore location in my code using
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre\lib\security\cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "changeit");
Still no joy
Anything 'm missing that is important?
By the way i have both x32 and x64 bit of the jdk on my windows 8 machine.
Best Answer
The reason why my application could not see my certificates was because of the setup i was suppose to do in GlassFish.
The GlassFish Server domain needs to be configured with the server's master password to access the keystore and truststore used to initiate secure communications using the SMTPS transport protocol.
