ADF Mobile : Rest call to a webservice using https - Certificate Error

Question

I'm trying to connect to a web service giving json and which uses https. I am using the following code.
Also SalesApp connects to https://abc.com
RestServiceAdapter restServiceAdapter = Model.createRestServiceAdapter();
restServiceAdapter.clearRequestProperties();
restServiceAdapter.setConnectionName("SalesApp");
restServiceAdapter.setRequestType(RestServiceAdapter.REQUEST_TYPE_GET);
restServiceAdapter.setRetryLimit(0);
restServiceAdapter.setRequestURI("/sales/rest/v1/resources");
try {
response = restServiceAdapter.send("");
I am getting an error of " Certificate was issued by an unrecognized entity ".
Is there anyway to ignore the certificate warning ? Any request properties which can help with this?
I'm not looking at adding any private certificates/verfying the certificate issued by server, just want to ignore the warning
and proceed with the rest call.

Hi, sure you will need to register your private certificate with ADF Mobile's embedded JVM. This is a security mechanism - the JVM we embed will only recognize certificates from well-know CA out of box. However, you can register your private certificate with the JVM. The steps are described in the ADF Mobile Developer Guide: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35521_01/doc.111230/e24475/security.htm#CDDCCDFF.
Please note that you will need to be very careful when registering the JVM - extra spaces for example will cause certificate error and it could be hard to diagnose. Please ensure all the fields matches exactly with your private certificate's fields.
Thanks,
