How to do it...

In this recipe, let's assume we want to connect Jira to an LDAP server that is running on SSL. Perform the following steps to make it a trusted site inside Jira:

Open up a Command Prompt and go to the directory where the certificate file resides.

Import the certificate into the trust store by running keytool -import -alias tomcat -file file.cer $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacertscommand, where file.cer is the certificate file.
Restart Jira to apply the changes.
