websphere Dynamic SSL - not picking up the configuration

Question

WAS 7.0, i had setup a keystore(with CA signer) and SSL configuration and setup the Dynamic SSL configuration for an outbound Connection, all at cluster level. However, this is not picking up during an outbound call. instead its looking for AppServer/Java/jre/lib/security/cacerts. its not able to find the cert and so cert is not passed for an outbound connection.

I have enabled the javax.net.ssl logging for the jvm, but the SSL config for the outbound which is setup at cluster level are not showing in the logs.

Can we configure/force to use WAS keystore instead of java keystore. Where can we configure this to use java keystore instead of WAS keystore?
