Errors using self-signed certificates

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Server running with BASIC auth and SSL using self signed cert
2. Set username/password in rest-client, check basic auth
3. On SSL tab select "any" for host verification

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Make any query (I have just been doing GET to test SSL). Expect valid
response, but instead get this error:

"peer not authenticated"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.3 on  Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
I use jmeter and it seems to work fine with the SSL setup I've got. I have
tried creating a trust store and specifying that, but it doesn't seem to
make a difference.

Same error using a self-signed certificate here. How about an option in the SSL 
tab to 
trust any certificate.

@yabiah : Good suggestion. Let me see if this is possible.

I am not much into SSL programming. I use:

KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());

Where KeyStore is java.security.KeyStore. Could it be that the KeyStore format 
you
supply differ?

The following KeyStore types are supported in Sun Java:

* JKS
* PKCS12

This could be received as input from the user.

At present, it is taking the default (JKS) type only.
