I'm currently develop my application with Mobilefirst 8.0 but there is some problem when JAVA HTTP adapter connect with external resources HTTPS connection with self-signed certificate. The public certificate from external resources was imported into my server which is /IBM/WebSphere/Liberty/usr/servers/{server name}/resources/security/key.jks but still getting handshake_failure exception. Any idea/solution to overcome this issue?

1)So far, i'm tried build exactly same logic with JavaScript HTTP adapter and import my JKS into Runtime Setting/Keystore tab which Configure Mobilefirst Keystore worked with within my adapter.xml

2)try to System.setProperty to point my own keystore and try to print it out when runtime but the result printed with different with what been set in my JAVA HTTP Adapter.

3)try set in my JAVA HTTP adapter same as my JAVASCRIPT HTTP Adapter, build and deploy with no errors but handshake_failure exception return. FYI, JAVA ADAPTER ATTRIBUTES doesn't provide this attribute.

This configuration is the minimum one that you need to create an SSL configuration.

The created certificate is a self-signed certificate that is valid for 365 days.

Do upload your server.xml - Vivin K
@VivinK, yes server.xml uploaded. Please help any idea? - Jeffrey Tan
Please confirm - did configuring keystore ( with public certificate from backend) in console, works with JS adapter and not Java adapter, or was it the same result? - Vivin K
@VivinK, Yes, previously did with JS adapter and it was fine able configure mutual SSL configuration based on IBM documentation. But it seems not supported for Java adapter - Jeffrey Tan

You need to import the "Client" cert of the self-signed cert of the backend into a keystore and then add it using the MFP console.. look at the detailed steps here. https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/blog/2017/01/17/SSL-connection-from-adapters/
