     I have tried importing certificates form the hosts directly to the jre/cacerts .

    keytool -importcert -keystore [DESTINATION_KEYSTORE] -file output.cert

Commands I have used

---------------------

keytool -exportcert -keystore jssecacerts -alias   -storepass changeit -file output.cert

keytool -importcert -keystore import.jks  -file output.cert

sudo keytool -import -trustcacerts -file output.cert  -alias   -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit
