New issue 179 by jean.deruelle: Disable SSL authentication in Mobicents
whether it is acting as the client or server
http://code.google.com/p/sipservlets/issues/detail?id=179
Basically we want SSL authentication to be completely disabled on Mobicents
irrespective of whether it is acting as the client or server. It was
already doing it when it was acting as a server using the
gov.nist.javax.sip.TLS_CLIENT_AUTH_TYPE flag. However when acting as a SSL
client, it will try to authenticate with the server, even if the server has
a similar setting (to disable authentication on its side). This requires us
to always maintain certificates for SSL/TLS connections even for simple
testing environments
With this change, we can completely disable SSL authentication on our side
if any entities wishes to communicate with us over TLS. This would also
eliminate the need for us to do certificate management.
