SSLSocket is a sub class pf Socket, so you create a SSLSocket and
use it like a Socket.

There are a few variation ins how to create but maybe
something like:

SSLContext sslctx = SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1.2");
sslctx.init(null, new X509TrustManager[] { new MyTrustManager() }, null);
SSLSocket s = (SSLSocket) sslctx.getSocketFactory().createSocket(HOST, 
PORT);
