The Equinox config.ini currently sets the javax.net.ssl.trustStore property to point to conf/tls/trust.jks. That trust store only contains certificates for SolarNetwork, to enable the initial node setup association. That means, however, that any HTTPS connections to other hosts will fail because the certificates won't be able to be validated.

The setup process should still make use of the conf/tls/trust.jks store, but at a per-connection basis, leaving the global settings alone so the default JVM settings are used.
