You need to add the certificate to the trustStore file of the used JVM located at -
Highlight color lime %JAVA_HOME%\lib\security\cacerts
.
First, you can check if your certificate is already in the trustStore by running the following command:
Highlight color lime keytool -list -keystore "%JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security/cacerts
If your certificate is missing you can get it by downloading it from your Jira instance URL and add it to the trustStore with the following command:
Highlight color lime keytool -import -noprompt -trustcacerts -alias <AliasName> -file <certificate> -keystore <KeystoreFile> -storepass <Password>
