I tried the following steps to configure SSL with HTTP BC using non-default certificates.

1) Took a backup of  keystore.jks and cacerts.jks

2) Deleted the default self-signed certificate

/F:\GlassFishESBv22_20091019-0736\glassfish\domains\domain1\config>keytool -delete -alias s1as -keystore keystore.jks
-storepass changeit/

3) Generated a new key pair for the application server , I am using the same alias "s1as" so that I dont need to modify
anything in domain.xml

/F:\GlassFishESBv22_20091019-0736\glassfish\domains\domain1\config> keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -keystore
keystore.jks -validity 335 -alias s1as
Enter keystore password:
What is your first and last name?
  [Unknown]:  raghuvir
What is the name of your organizational unit?
  [Unknown]:  sun
What is the name of your organization?
  [Unknown]:  sunmicrosystems
What is the name of your City or Locality?
  [Unknown]:  bangalore
What is the name of your State or Province?
  [Unknown]:  karnataka
What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
  [Unknown]:  IN
Is CN=raghuvir, OU=sun, O=sunmicrosystems, L=bangalore, ST=karnataka, C=IN correct?
  [no]:  yes

Enter key password for <s1as>
        (RETURN if same as keystore password):changeit/

4) Self Sign the ceritificate

/F:\GlassFishESBv22_20091019-0736\glassfish\domains\domain1\config>keytool -selfcert -alias s1as -validity 335 -keystore
keystore.jks -storetype JKS
Enter keystore password:changeit/

5) Exported the cert

/F:\GlassFishESBv22_20091019-0736\glassfish\domains\domain1\config>keytool -export -alias s1as -file s1as.cert -rfc
-keystore keystore.jks
Enter keystore password:changeit
Certificate stored in file <s1as.cert>/

6) imported to the trust store of glassfish ( cacerts.jks)

/F:\GlassFishESBv22_20091020-1005\glassfish\domains\domain1\config>keytool -delete -alias s1as -keystore cacerts.jks
-storepass changeit

F:\GlassFishESBv22_20091020-1005\glassfish\domains\domain1\config>keytool -import -alias s1as -file s1as.cert -keystore
cacerts.jks
Enter keystore password:

The same works fine in SOAP UI without any issues.

Found out that this is not supported in Netbeans.

Hence need support to run HTTPS - ssl tests.
