Answer 4

I had 5.5 SOAP UI and calling an gateway API hosted in https URL. I tried all the java versions , TLS protocol nothing worked for me.

I downloaded the certificate (for me it was truststore.jks) which I was using to connect to API , use certificate password ( used to see all the certificates in your ) and check the Check box as shown in image. I am able to make a https connection.
