What if you instead just removed "RSA keySize < 1024" from the `jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms` security property - would this test still pass? This way you could still test the other parts of the cert selection code.

This same comment applies to other tests where you have set the `jdk.tls.SunX509keymanager.certSelectionChecking` property to false.
