Not receiving expected SSL certificate validation error

I've just modified my RESTful service to use HTTPS instead of HTTP, and the server serves up a self-signed SSL certificate.

When I hit this endpoint with Firefox, I got the expected response; Firefox warned me that it was an untrusted certificate, and asked me to accept the risk. However, when I tried the same experiment from SoapUI, it seemed to accept the self-signed certificate without question. I went into the Firefox options and deleted the certificate from its trusted store, restarted SoapUI, but SoapUI still seems happy to accept the self-signed certificate.

I did see a SoapUI preference under "SSL Settings" for "Requires client authentication", and checked that box (wasn't sure if it was relevant), but that doesn't seem to have had an effect.

Can someone please clue me in? Obviously, I want SoapUI to play nice with the self-signed certificate, but I want it to do so for a reason I understand. Was assuming that I'd need to somehow get the certificate into a trusted store before SoapUI would play nice.
