soap authentication while calling a webmethod - authentication

Question

I would like help with a SOAP WebService. I was calling a webmethod without any issues; authentication is as follows:
public static void applyBasicAuth(String userName, String password) {
Properties p = System.getProperties();
p.remove("javax.net.ssl.trustStore");
p.remove("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", password);
Authenticator myAuth = new Authenticator()
{
#Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
{
return new PasswordAuthentication(userName, password.toCharArray());
}
};
Authenticator.setDefault(myAuth);
}
As I told, I had no issues. But, all of a sudden, I started getting this stack trace:

What does it mean ?. Do the admin people change some stuff related to security or credentials ?. if this is the case, do I need to ask for the keystore file ?.
thanks
