I have a web application that call a SOAP Web service secured via SSL .(https://zzzzzzzzzzzz/xxxxx).
The server send two certificates (Root and Leaf) so i import the two certificate using the property : com.ibm.websphere.ssl.retrieveLeafCert .
To enable ssl validation on websphere i just add the certificates Into websphere :
SSL certificate and key management -> key stores and certificate -> NodeDefaultTrustStore -> Signer cerificates -> Retrieve from port :
The problem is that webshphere not trust the certificate and give me this stacktrace,

The same code is tested in my local environement with the simple use of Installcert.java and running my tests with -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=jssecacerts (jssecacerts is the file generated by InstallCert.java).
I test a million websphere configuration.
The only procedure that work is the procedure described in this link:
https://xebia.com/blog/mutual-ssl-authentication-using-websphere-application-server-and-cxf/
By defining the cxf intercpter :
<cxf:bus>
<cxf:outInterceptors>
<bean class="---------------------.WebsphereSslOutInterceptor" />
</cxf:outInterceptors>
</cxf:bus>
