Java Security

Hi all,

I am using a hosted WebDAV/Subversion service to store my files. The provider has connected my domain name to the service, so now I can access the service through my domain name :-)

However, the provider cannot assign a static dedicated IP for the server which provides my content, hence he cannot set an SSL certificate for my domain name. Any time I access the service I am getting an SSL warning telling me that the domain name does not match that on the certificate... So far had no problem with that. The Web browser, the Windows Explorer, and the Subversion client allow me to accept the connection.

Now I need to set up some automatic build software (Maven) and it appears that the JRE has a problem with these name mismatches -- it just throws an exception and does not allow me to accept the connection :-( In order to ensure that this is a JRE problem, I have tried to connect to the service with a Java-based WebDAV client (DAVExplorer) -- same thing -- here is the message thrown by DAVExplorer:

javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Name in certificate "his.domain.name" does not match host name "my.domain.name"

Is there some configuration file, system property or switch that I can use to make the JRE ignore the domain name mismatch thing?

Please help,
Adrian.
