How do I use a self-signed certificate?
...
DummyTrustManager for development
Joakim Recht suggested on the CAS list that in development you can avoid the need to install your self-signed CAS server certificate on your CAS clients (and your CAS client certificate on your CAS server when the clients need to be securely accessed for CAS to give them Proxy Tickets) by using the DummyTrustManager from here .
This accepts all certificates, including self-signed.
