Dumindu Pallewela commented on AXIS2C-1541:
-------------------------------------------

I think the issue here is just a matter of notation. Even if a CA certificate 
is not used (i.e. when using a self signed certificate), we need the server 
certificate to make an https connection. In such a case we have to specify the 
server certificate (self signed) as the CA certificate. To make things even 
more confusing, the configuration parameter for this is called "SERVER_CERT" in 
axis2.xml !

I think we have documented this well enough at 
http://axis.apache.org/axis2/c/core/docs/axis2c_manual.html#ssl_client

Am I totally missing the point as I've not touched this piece of code in a few 
years? :)

> do not require that CA certificate is present for https
