At https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Starting+and+Accessing+Jenkins, the following instructions are given for specifying the keystore and keystore password:

$ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.jenkins-ci httpsKeyStore /path/to/your/keystore/file
$ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.jenkins-ci httpsKeyStorePassword <keystore password>

However, https://github.com/jenkinsci/packaging/blob/master/osx/Library/Application%20Support/Jenkins/jenkins-runner.sh doesn’t include these options in its list of arguments to process. This means that when launching Jenkins on Mac OS X using the LaunchDaemons infrastructure, these options do not get propagated to Java and are not seen by Jenkins.

Fixing this is important to get Jenkins working, for example, in corporate networks where alternative keystores for CA certificate chains need to be given.
