ssl and java classes

[Guest_imported]

Dear Java Gurus,

I am not a Java programmer, however, I have a Java issue.

I am using ESRI's ArcIMS Map Server to serve maps in an ASP internet application using SSL with IIS.

The problem is:

I need to access a Java class (AppServer) under SSL, and I'm currently not able to.

ESRI says -

"...add an SSL certificate using the keytool utility(from JDK), and confirm whether you can access the
AppServer from the command line once your SSL certificate is added to the list of trusted certifying authorities
that Java JRE recognizes."

SO...

Can anyone tell me how to do this? In simple terms...

Thanks,

Joe
