Step Two: Set the Provider in the Security Object

Setting the provider in the security object can be done statically in the security properties file (jre\lib\security\java.security).

To set this provider statically, find the following line in the security properties file:

security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun

Add the following line immediately after the line you just located:

security.provider.x=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider

where x is equal to the next sequential number (for example, security.provider.2=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider).

IMPORTANT:  Both of these lines are required in order for SSL to work correctly.
