Access Https Rest Service using Spring RestTemplate

Question

Can anybody provide me with a code sample to access the rest service URL secured with HTTPS using the Spring Rest template?

I have the certificate, username and password. Basic Authentication is used on the server-side and I want to create a client that can connect to that server using a provided certificate, username and password (if needed).

KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
keyStore.load(new FileInputStream(new File(keyStoreFile)),
  keyStorePassword.toCharArray());

SSLConnectionSocketFactory socketFactory = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(
  new SSLContextBuilder()
    .loadTrustMaterial(null, new TrustSelfSignedStrategy())
    .loadKeyMaterial(keyStore, keyStorePassword.toCharArray())
    .build(),
    NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE);

HttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(
  socketFactory).build();

ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(
  httpClient);
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(requestFactory);
MyRecord record = restTemplate.getForObject(uri, MyRecord.class);
LOG.debug(record.toString());
