Bypassing CERT Exception in Webdriver with Java Language binding

Question

I have an https login page from a Web App which i am trying to automate using Webdriver.

Login URL: https://a.b.c.d/web/certLogon.jsp

i looked at handling-untrustedsslcertificates-using-webdriver

but since my cert was NOT prepared against a.b.c.d (Which is usual in testing environments) this would not work. and i get error : (Error_code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

So, is it possible to pypass host check altogether ? similar to how we do it in HttpsURLConnection ?

URL url = new URL(httpsURL);

            HttpsURLConnection httpsCon = (HttpsURLConnection) url
                    .openConnection();

            httpsCon.setHostnameVerifier(new HostnameVerifier() {

                public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) {

                    return true;
                }
            });

This seems to be SUCH a common use case, so one would think that Webdriver SHOULD have solution for it.

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
        profile.setPreference("network.http.phishy-userpass-length", 255);
        profile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(false);
