When dealing with certificates, you should try to fix the problem with 
wget instead. I think /usr/sfw/bin/wget in Solaris 10 looks for 
certificates by default in:

   /etc/sfw/openssl/cert.pem
   /etc/sfw/openssl/certs/

or you can use its ca_certificate or ca_directory options in a wgetrc 
file to point it at the necessary certificates. As soon as e.g.

   wget https://sunsolve.sun.com/patchdiag.xref

works without any certificate issues, pca will work as well without any 
further configuration.

Martin.
