    you can send HTTPS request directly like you do with HTTP in SoapUI

    Hi Aamir,

    Certs and keys relate to assymetric encryption and what this means is that you have a public key (cert) and a private key. Public key (cert) is used to encrypt and private key is used to decrypt.
    In regards to ssl authentication you need the key, not the certificate. Your certificate doesn't include the relevant info you need. You need to obtain the key.

    Cheers,

      HTTPS as not normal HTTP worked.
