Resolution
To create the HTTPS communication between TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft SharePoint server: 1)Configure the IIS for the Microsoft SharePoint server to support HTTP over SSL.
Internet Information Services (IIS) is a flexible, general-purpose web server from Microsoft that runs on Windows systems to serve requested HTML pages or files. An IIS web server accepts requests from remote client computers and returns the appropriate response. IIS works through a variety of standard languages and protocols. The HTTP is the basic communication protocol used to exchange information between web servers and users. HTTPS -- HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) -- uses Transport Layer Security or SSL to encrypt the communication for added data security.
2)Then use the https URL in the format "https://host_name:Https_Port_Number" and test the connection. It is not required to import the certificates in keystore for SharePoint connection
