Missing intermediate certificate authority - Android

Question

I've come across a dilemma that I think should be considered for a future release.  My company maintains their own ESRI service and I have been hired to develop applications that utilize their maps.  Enough back story, I switched my MapServer url to my company's and encountered a CertPathValidatorException.  Researched it and found the problem to be a missing chain in our web server's certificate.  Now Android's documentation offers a workaround which requires building a custom Trust Manager before establishing a connection.  ESRI's documentation only offers advice if the certificate is self-signed.  Has there been any talk about expanding UserCredentials or another method to integrate a custom Trust Manager?

Fortunately, the person maintaining the ESRI server was well receptive to my needs and is working on updating the certificate in the coming week.

Just as a follow up the certificate had been updated and the error went away...mostly.  We found that some android devices still had an issue with the certificate authority.  Though it was not obvious I found using the SelfSignedCertificateHandler to resolve my issue.

SelfSignedCertificateHandler.setTrustAllSigners(true);
