Hi Sean
6973371: X509Factory should recognize PEM headers
Please review the webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/6973371/webrev.00/
There is one place I haven't touched, generateCertPath. PKCS #7 PEM
block should begin with -----BEGIN PKCS7-----, or as described in [1],
with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----. But what about a PKIPATH data block?
Thanks
Max
=== *Description*
============================================================
Currently, when X509Factory tries to read certificate or CRL from a PEM
file, it simply finds a block starting with "-----BEGIN STH-----" and
ending with "-----END STH-----", and does not care what this STH is at all.
There are third-party tools that generates a PEM file containing
different kinds of PEM blocks. For example, "openssl pkcs12" can read in
a PKCS #12 file and output private key and certficates into a single PEM
file. If we want Java to read certificates from this file, we must take
care to remove any private key block first. This is quite troublesome.
