Lotus Sametime Network Install fails when using https:// install base
I've been working on this very frustration Sametime Standard deployment and I'm at the very end phase, and I can't get the network install files to work correctly. I can run the standalone client and things are fine.
I've actually narrowed it down to not being able to use an HTTPS URL as defined in my download.properties file, I can switch to HTTP, and the install works perfectly.
OK, so the problem is HTTPS right? Probably, but I can't figure out where. I'm using a wildcard cert purchased from Netsol, and I can browse to files in the same path no issue, so I really can't see the problem here.
I clued into using http instead of https because of the following error in the install log
Unable to access site: "https://stweb.company.com/sametime/network-install/install.win/updateSite" [java.security.NoSuchAlgor ithmExcept ion: SSLContext Default implementation not found: ] **I've but in bogus hostname info...
I can use a browser to access https://stweb.company.com/sametime/network-install/install.win/updateSite/site.xml I can view the SSL cert and it looks normal.
I'm including the full log for your perusing enjoyment, hostnames also muddled.

I'll send the URL to a friend who might know more...

Just letting you know that I've still got an open PMR with IBM. At the moment they are looking into importing certificates into the Java keystore, and how to sign the JAR files. I don't get why this is so tough...

How odd... Thanks for closing the question!

While sjef_bosman was the right track, turns out this was a trick question and my support with IBM revealed that their product just isn't able to support HTTPS for this particular function.

Developers told support that I need to import my SSL cert into (.keystore.JCEKS.IBM_J9_VM
Anyways, I'm updating the ticket so you know I haven't forgotten about this, and so that maybe someone who has some experience with signing Java/Eclipse modules with a JAVA keystore can interject and tell me what exactly needs to be done. (wishful thinking...but sometimes wishes do come true!)
