Title: Use of multiple client certificates in axis client

Hi Chris,

 

Thank you for your answer.

Maybe this is out of scope, but how does it know what is the proper certificate?

 

Regards.

I _believe_ you can simply add all of your certs to the keystore that you are using.  Then when your ssl connection is created, it will check your keystore for the proper cert.

Subject: Use of multiple client certificates in axis client

Hi,
 
I have to send several AXIS-SOAP request via SSL using different client certificates.
The certificate of choice depends on the web service I am targeting.

How do I do this?

The easy solution seems to be, create several keystores each containing a specific client certificate.
Then as I know which webservice to target specify the correct certificate by assigning the corresponding
keystore to some System propertie so that SSL automatically picks up the client certificate.

However since I can ship several SOAP requests concurrently this does not seem a proper way to
do things, since a System property is a global resource. Hence I can never be sure that the System
property still has the desired value at the time one of the SSL connections is being set up.
So I need some way to associate the client certificate to a specific request itself.

How do I do this using Axis 1.1

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Regards,

        Cor.
