Maven: how to config the tomcat plugin to deploy on https remote site

Question

I am trying to deploy my web app remotely using the tomcat plugin from maven (mvn tomcat:deploy).

The Tomcat App Server Manager is at https://MyRemoteTomcatInstance/manager.

Firstly, I added the certificate to my trust store with this command:

keytool -v -alias mavensrv -import -file /Users/christianachilli/Desktop/KubePartnersLtd.p12 -keystore /Users/christianachilli/trust.jks

The file KubePartnersLtd.p12 is the result of exporting the site certificate with the Browser (I used FF 3.6).

Secondly, I added the

.mavenrc

file and here comes the pain for me! I am not sure of what should I put in it. At the moment I filled it in with:

MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512m -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/Users/christianachilli/trust.jks \
                     -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=123456  \
                     -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/Users/christianachilli/.keystore \
                     -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType= \
                     -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword="

This gives me an error:

No subject alternative names present

I tried many other combination using the brute force pattern but I couldn't succeed. I'd really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction about what should be the parameters in

MAVEN_OPTS

Thanks and regards, C
