If you want to access an web service from a website which is SSL enabled (used HTTPS), you have to download SSL certificate from the SSL enabled website and install that on the application server.
Here I have written procedure to download the SSL certificate from Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.
N.B:You can download the certificate from the website through any browser, and after installing that on the server,it will work for every browser. So no need to download separately from all browser.
Steps for downloading certificate through Mozilla Firefox
1.Browse to the SSL enabled website (from which you want to get certificate).
2 Click the lock icon present in the bottom right corner of browser window (or click the Site Identity Button → more information). It will open a window. 3.Click the Security icon in the window. 4.Click on the View Certificate Button. It will open another window.
5.Click Details tab.
6.Click Export Button. It will download a .com extension file. Then change the extension from .com to .cer. Save it in your disk. 7.Go to location where you saved the certificate(.cer file).Copy the CER file into “C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\jre\lib\security” (or whichever JRE ColdFusion is using). 8.Go to command prompt and go to the path “C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\jre\lib\security”.Then run the following command. keytool -import -keystore cacerts -alias -file .cer 9.Enter keystore password: changeit (It is the default password and it will not be visible when you will write the password).Press Enter
10.Type Yes in as Trust this certificate? [no]: yes. Press Enter.
For example
C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\jre\lib\security>keytool -import -keystore cacerts -alias patagonia -file oiax.patagonia.cer
Enter keystore password: changeit

Trust this certificate? [no]: yes
Then Message will be displayed as “Certificate was added to keystore”.
N.B:If you are getting error with keytoool, e.g “‘Keytool’ is not recognized as an internal or external command”,
then please note keytool is present at location “C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\jre\bin” .
Provide path to keytool.It will work fine.
11. Restart the ColdFusion server.
