Hi Julius -

I have a question. Does not-yet-commons-ssl allow me to virtual  
host multiple domain ssl certificates on a single socket on a Tomcat

That would be awesome if it does.

Hi Julius,

What are your plans regarding not-yet-commons-ssl? Is there anything
still blocking the incubation process? There are already two Apache
projects (HttpComponents and Synapse) that can potentially benefit  
from
collaboration with not-yet-commons-ssl. So, there is a lot of

Features as of not-yet-commons-ssl-0.3.7:

1. useStrongCiphers() used by default.
-- 
---

40 bit and 56 bit ciphers are now disabled by default. To turn them
back on call useDefaultJavaCiphers().


2. addAllowedName() adds some flexibility to the CN verification.
-- 
---

Here's a code example using cucbc.com to connect, but anticipating
www.cucbc.com in the server's certificate:

 SSLClient client = new SSLClient();
 client.addAllowedName( www.cucbc.com );
 Socket s = client.createSocket( cucbc.com, 443 );

This technique is also useful if you don't want to use DNS, and want
to connect using the IP address.


3. SSLServer can re-use a Tomcat-8443 private key if running from  
inside Tomcat.
-- 
---

SSLClient server = new SSLServer();
server.useTomcatSSLMaterial();


4. RMI-SSL support improved.
-- 
---

Attempts to re-use the Tomcat-8443 private key for all RMI SSL Server
sockets. Anonymous server-sockets (port 0) will always be set to port
31099. Analyzes the server certificate CN field and tries to set
java.rmi.server.hostname to something compatible with that. Probably
the only free implementation around that does a good job on the
hostname verification!


5. KeyMaterial constructor blows up earlier.
-- 
---

If a JKS or PKCS12 file is provided that isn't going to work (e.g. no
private keys), the KeyMaterial constructor throws an exception right
away.


6. getSSLContext() now available to help inter-op with Java 5 SSL- 
NIO libraries.
-- 
---

Oleg has been working hard on SSL-NIO for the Apache httpcomponents
library. Go check it out!


7. Fixed bug where SSLClient couldn't be used with
javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection on Java 1.4.x
-- 
---

I was wrapping the SSLSocket, but Java 1.4.x guards against that
inside HttpsURLConnection and throws this exciting exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Export restriction: this JSSE
implementation is non-pluggable.

Re: [Vote] Where should not-yet-commons-ssl go?

2007-02-23 Thread Julius Davies

Hi, David,

What do you mean, exactly?

Do you have several certificates?  If so, then no, can't share several
certificates on one socket.  There isn't enough information available
to the plain socket (source ip, source port, target ip, target port is
all we have!) to decide on a certificate to use when building up the
SSL.

Do you have a single certificate with several domain names listed
inside it?  If so, then standard Java JSSE as far back as Java 1.3
should work just fine on the server or the client.
Not-yet-commons-ssl is also fine with this.  (Verisign is clever,
though, and they charge full price for each domain added to the
certificate).

Do you have a wildcard in your certificate's CN field?  (e.g.
CN=*.credential.com)?  Then, again, Java JSSE as far back as Java 1.3
is fine with that.  Same for not-yet-commons-ssl.


When acting as a client, not-yet-commons-ssl (by default) is more lax
compared to java.net.URL with hostname verification:

CN=*.foo.com
java.net.URL will complain when connecting to a.b.c.foo.com (similar to IE6).
Not-Yet-Commons-SSL doesn't complain (similar to Curl and Firefox).

Mind you, that behaviour can be changed:

SSLClient client = new SSLClient();
client.setHostnameVerifier( HostnameVerifier.STRICT );


Here's the Javadoc explaining how Hostname Verification works in
Not-Yet-Commons-SSL:

http://juliusdavies.ca/commons-ssl/javadocs/org/apache/commons/ssl/HostnameVerifier.html


Hope this helps!

yours,

Julius

[VOTE] Accept not yet commons ssl project WAS : Re: [Vote] Where should not-yet-commons-ssl go?

2007-02-23 Thread Martin van den Bemt
I prefer this vote to see where it should end up in Jakarta and based on that 
result the path full
incubation / legal incubation is decided.

So in my view the vote should be :

[ ] Jakarta should sponsor (which effectively states we like to see the code 
end up here)
[ ] Jakarta shouldn't sponsor (which effectively means it will end up TLP)

if accepted in Jakarta, it should end up in :

[ ] commons as a component
[ ] httpcomponents as a component
[ ] subproject directly under Jakarta
[ ] integrate / merge code into project xxx (please replace x) (so not a 
subcomponent of a project!)

And

[ ] I am willing to mentor (you need to be on the Incubator PMC / Member of the 
ASF)
[ ] I want to get involved in coding
[ ] No interest in getting involved.


Reasoning :

1) the first decides if Jakarta wants to sponsor this
2) we need to know the place it should end up in Jakarta (at least have some 
kind of direction)
3) if no one is interested in getting involved or being a mentor (preferably 3 
mentors!), we can
easily see if option 1 and 2 are viable at all.

The problem with the current vote is that I have to start yet another vote to 
let us sponsor and
where it should end up, best to do it in one go in my opninion...

So Martin and Ortwin could you please revote  ? (Sorry for the inconvenience)

Mvgr,
Martin

5. KeyMaterial constructor blows up earlier.
-
If a JKS or PKCS12 file is provided that isn't going to work (e.g. no
private keys), the KeyMaterial constructor throws an exception right
away.


6. getSSLContext() now available to help inter-op with Java 5 SSL-NIO libraries.
-
Oleg has been working hard on SSL-NIO for the Apache httpcomponents
library. Go check it out!


7. Fixed bug where SSLClient couldn't be used with
javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection on Java 1.4.x
-
I was wrapping the SSLSocket, but Java 1.4.x guards against that
inside HttpsURLConnection and throws this exciting exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Export restriction: this JSSE
implementation is non-pluggable.
at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketFactoryImpl.checkCreate(DashoA6275)
at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsClient.afterConnect(DashoA6275)

sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getOutputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:560)
at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.getOutputStream(DashoA6275)

Silly Java - I'm still using your JSSE implementation, I'm just wrapping it!



The KeyStoreBuilder command-line utility can go both ways now (to jks,
and to pkcs8 in PEM format).  So you can use it to convert a java
keystore file into

No, it means that it still needs to find a Sponsor before it can be accepted

of the ASF)
[ ] I want to get involved in coding
[X] No interest in getting involved.

Reasoning :


1) the first decides if Jakarta wants to sponsor this



2) we need to know the place it should end up in Jakarta (at least have some

kind of direction)
3) if no one is interested in getting involved or being a mentor
(preferably 3 mentors!), we can
easily see if option 1 and 2 are viable at all.

The problem with the current vote is that I have to start yet another vote
to let us sponsor and
where it should end up, best to do it in one go in my opninion...

So Martin and Ortwin could you please revote  ? (Sorry for the
inconvenience)

Mvgr,
Martin

Let's keep this statement your personal opinion on the fact that it is not 
relevant. I still like to
know the opinion of others. Main reason : it is very interesting to see to 
figure out what the exit
criteria should be for a small component like ssl (besides the IP stuff).
Would be nice to get Robert's view on this (I will start a discussion after the 
vote, so the vote
doesn't get too polluted). Could be that I am the only one seeing the 
difference during incubation
depending on the target within Jakarta, so if that's the case it's probably 
best for SSL that other
people step up as mentors and champions.

If you want opinions, don't use a vote to collect them. This is a vote
thread, not an opinion thread. Votes within the ASF are for decision making,
not opinion polls. Jakarta is well known, in a negative way, for being
overly vote-happy, so we should be doing our best to confine our use of
voting to things that really need to be voted on. That includes neither
opinion polls or consensus building.

My statement was that the final destination of a project is not relevant for
a vote on whether or not it should be accepted into the incubator. I
consider that to be a simple fact about the way the incubator works, not an
opinion.
