Examples or documentation for SSL/TLS issues missing

[dpalic]

Is there any chance to provide us a example of how to use a SSL certificate, which is not officially supported by a CA certificate in the JVM?

I could sadly not find any hint neither in Readme.MD nor, wiki nor in example code.

I have started a doc to contribute here: https://github.com/taskadapter/redmine-java-api/wiki/HowToUseSelfSignedCertificates
Hope I have got the point of how to use the API regarding SSL properly

I could do some research on the classes and I found this maybe obsolete way:

ClientConnectionManager lConManager = redmineManagerFactory.createInsecureConnectionManager();
HttpClient lClient = RedmineManagerFactory.getNewHttpClient(lConManager);

But now it is failing on:

so hopefully we can quickly create a doc in the wiki how to use it properly. By the way here is the CAcert.org CA used for SSL (it was some time included in major linux distributions, but sadly they evicted them again.
