How to validate multiple parameters in an alert action?

Here is my restmap.conf

[validation:savedsearch]

# Check for empty feed
action.myApp= case('action.myApp' != "1", null(), 'action.myApp.param.feed' == "action.myApp.param.feed" OR 'action.myApp.param.feed' == "", "Feed cannot be empty.",  1==1, null())

# Check for empty instance
action.myApp= case('action.myApp' != "1", null(), 'action.myApp.param.instance' == "action.myApp.param.instance" OR 'action.myApp.param.instance' == "", "Instance cannot be empty.",  1==1, null())

# Check for SSL
action.myApp= case('action.myApp' != "1", null(), 'action.myApp.param.ssl' == "1" AND 'action.myApp.param.cert' == "action.myApp.param.cert", "Cert path cannot be empty when SSL checked.", 'action.myApp.param.ssl' == "1" AND 'action.myApp.param.cert' == "", "Cert path cannot be empty when SSL checked.",  1==1, null())

# Check for feed regex
action.myApp.param.feed = validate( match('action.myApp.param.feed', "^[A-Z0-9_-]{3,}$"), "Feed is invalid, see regex for detail.")

# Check for instance regex
action.myApp.param.instance = validate( match('action.myApp.param.instance', "^https?:\/\/([a-zA-Z]+|\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}):\d+([\/\w]*)?$"), "Instance is invalid, see regex for detail.")

Everything works as expected if I comment out the check for SSL line, however as soon as I uncomment that line, I can save the alert even if all of the fields have no values.

How can I get this to work?

action.myApp.param.ssl is a checkbox
action.myApp.param.cert is a string input

Can you please try below

[validation:savedsearch]
action.myApp= case('action.myApp' != "1", null(), 'action.myApp.param.feed' == "action.myApp.param.feed" OR 'action.myApp.param.feed' == "", "Feed cannot be empty.", 'action.myApp.param.instance' == "action.myApp.param.instance" OR 'action.myApp.param.instance' == "", "Instance cannot be empty.", 'action.myApp.param.ssl' == "1" AND ('action.myApp.param.cert' == "action.myApp.param.cert" OR 'action.myApp.param.cert' == ""), "Cert path cannot be empty when SSL checked.", 1==1, null())

# Check for feed regex
action.myApp.param.feed = validate( match('action.myApp.param.feed', "^[A-Z0-9_-]{3,}$"), "Feed is invalid, see regex for detail.")

# Check for instance regex
action.myApp.param.instance = validate( match('action.myApp.param.instance', "^https?:\/\/([a-zA-Z]+|\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}):\d+([\/\w]*)?$"), "Instance is invalid, see regex for detail.")

Here are both checkbox and cert path

         <div class="control-group">
            <label class="control-label" for="ssl">Send using SSL?</label>
            <div class="controls">
                <label class="checkbox" for="ssl">
                  <input id="ssl" type="checkbox" name="action.myApp.param.ssl" value="1" />
                </label>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="control-group">
            <label class="control-label" for="cert">Certificate Path</label>
            <div class="controls">
                <input type="text" class="input-xlarge" name="action.myApp.param.cert" id="cert"  placeholder="Full path to certificate" />
            </div>
        </div>
