HTTPS Support for the GPM

Java Web Start (JavaWS) is used to launch the Graphical Process Modeler (GPM) by using HTTP. It supports HTTPS and the dynamic import of certificates similar to browsers.

During the SSL handshake, the server provides its certificate and JavaWS handles the trust verification. If the certificate could not be verified by JavaWS, the user is prompted to accept or reject it. SSL certificates cannot be automatically verified by JavaWS and must be verified by users.
