> Key: GERONIMO-1071
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1071
> Project: Geronimo
> Type: Bug
> Components: security, console
> Versions: 1.0-M5
> Environment: Win XP, Sun JDK 1.4.2_08
> Reporter: Vamsavardhana Reddy
> Assignee: Aaron Mulder
> Fix For: 1.1
>
> The following behaviour is noticed regarding trusted certificates in
> SSLContext when HTTPS Connectors are created.
> JETTY:
> Jetty HTTPS Connector does not provide a way to specify a trustStore. The
> "default trust material"** is used always. (Infact, Jetty does not provide a
> way to specify a trustStore while configuring SSL. The following is the code
> in Jetty5.1.5 source org.mortbay.http.SslListener.java that initializes
> SSLContext.
> context.init(keyManagerFactory.getKeyManagers(), null, new
> java.security.SecureRandom());
> The null 2nd parameter means "default trust material" is used.
> TOMCAT:
> Tomcat HTTPS Connector provides a way to specify trustStore using
> "truststoreFileName" attribute in the GBean configuration. If this attribute
> is not present, then "default trust material" is used.
> The trusted certificates in the server keystore are not added to trusted
> certificates for SSL in either case. (This is the expected behaviour).
> The comment in Geronimo Console in edit HTTPS Connector configuration page
> under the "Client Auth Required" check box says, "If set, then clients
> connecting through this connector must supply a valid client certificate. By
> default, the validity is based on the CA certificates in the server keystore
> (need to confirm not the JVM default trust keystore)". This is not valid.
> **default trust material = keystore file specified by
> "javax.net.ssl.trustStore" system property or
> <java-home>/lib/security/jssecacerts or <java-home>/lib/security/cacerts,
> whichever is available first in that order.
