directory that your Veracode plugin is using.Run this command to import the certificate:
keytool -importcert -file C:\temp\example.cer -keystore lib\security\cacerts -alias sslinspection
Enter keystore password:Enter the keystore password. The default is
changeit
.A confirmation message displays informing you the certificate is now in the keystore.

y
to trust the certificate.After installing your certificate, you may need to restart the IDE or CI/CD where the plugin is running for the changes to take effect.
Optionally, you can list the contents of the
cacerts
file to verify a successful import by entering this command from the%JAVA_HOME%
directory. This command outputs a text file with the full contents:keytool.exe -list -v -keystore lib\security\cacerts > C:\temp\cacerts.txt
