JAVA.INSEC.CERT.RS : Certificate Added to Root Store (Java)

JavaScript is not currently enabled, but is required for full CodeSonar manual search and browse functionality.

If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

JAVA.INSEC.CERT.RS : Certificate Added to Root Store (Java)

Summary

Detected possible certificate added to root storage.

Having a hardcoded IP address is considered a bad practice. It can lead to several problems:

When you have to change it, you must remember to change it in your code too.
You are forced to to use the same IP address in every environment the application is deployed into.

Some security protocols are now considered deprecated and unsafe and so, they must not be used.
