Hello,

My HTTP\_POLLER makes a call to an API over https. There, I tried to use the following parameters in my .CONF file:

truststore =\> "/path/to/downloaded\_truststore.jks"  
truststore\_password =\> "mypassword"

However, this did not work until I extracted the CERT from the JKS listed in the .CONF file, and imported it into the general JAVA CACERT. My question is, how come HTTP\_POLLER ignores, or at least seems to ignore, the values that I put in the .CONF file and goes instead to the JAVA CACERT? Thanks!
