RE: Disabling Certification validation in HTTPS

[Flores, Raul]

Title: Message

The code below uses a keystore to validate sites. Check sun site or other resources to find out how to build a keystore/truststore from: keytool

 

I generate a self signed cert in the keystore and then import remote client certs.

 

 

      // If we are running https protocol (encrypted)
      if ("https".equalsIgnoreCase(protocol)) {                                      // yes: https
        String keyStore = System.getProperty("https.truststore");
        if (keyStore == null) {
          //keyStore = "D:/java/src/certs/client.keystore";

          // Use the line above and comment out below to when testing this main
          throw new GenericException("The underlying protocol requires a " +
              "truststore (system property https.truststore)");
        }
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", keyStore);
        System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
        Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
//        System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl");
      }

 

      // establish

      ServiceLocator locator = new ServiceLocator();
      port = locator.getServiceContract(new URL(protocol, host, portNumber, url));
      ( (Stub) port).setMaintainSession(true);

Subject: Disabling Certification validation in HTTPS

Hi,

 

I have a SOAP Server that does not have (yet) its trusted certificate, but nonetheless runs in HTTPS.  For instance, we can use portals on it, providing we accept the fact the server cannot authenticate itself.

 

I run a Axis client that connects to this server, using a HTTPS:// URL.  However, the client fails, saying that the server has no trusted certificate (see exception below).

 

Is there a way in Axis to configure an Axis client  to accept the SSL connection, no matter if the certificate is valid/trusted/found?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Christian Faucher
