             Summary: Connect with --skip-ssl-validation should not require a Keystore or Truststore
                 Key: GEODE-3640
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3640
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: gfsh, security
            Reporter: Jared Stewart


We are still requiring a Keystore and Truststore to be specified if a user connects via gfsh with --skip-ssl-validation.  We ought to be able to fall back to the default JVM truststore in this case since we shouldn't be validating the server's certificate, and thus shouldn't need a custom Truststore.  And since the gfsh client should not get its identity verified by the server, it should not require a custom Keystore.  

This is what happens currently if you omit those options:

gfsh>connect --use-http --url=https://locator-address/gemfire/v1 --user=username --password=******** --skip-ssl-validation
I/O error on GET request for "https://locator-address/gemfire/v1/index": sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target; nested exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
