Assistance with rebuild of custom WEL plugin with SHA2 support

We have a Java servlet hosted in Websphere which provides a custom Web Express Logon plugin. This servlet provides SSO functionality by retrieving a passticket from the mainframe DCAS service over a mutual SSL connection, and is leveraged by an HOD login macro to provide SSO functionality for HOD TN3270 sessions. We would like assistance in recompiling this servlet to support connecting to a DCAS service protected with a SHA2-based certificate - the current version is compiled against a version of the SSLight classes that only supports SHA1.
