Class TrustAllTrustManager

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    TrustManager, X509TrustManager
    public class TrustAllTrustManager
extends Object
implements X509TrustManager
    Normally when we connect over HTTPS, if the server sends us a certificate that is not well known, we have to specify a keystore using system properties:

    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","path to keystore" ); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword","apache");

    Using this X509TrustManager we can allow the client to disregard the certificate and trust the server. One of the reason this may be done is because clients are sometimes deployed on systems where the developers haveno access to the file system and therefore cannot configure the keystores.

    This TrustManager can be used in the client stub as follows: 

     
 SSLContext sslCtx = SSLContext.getInstance("http");
 sslCtx.init(null, new TrustManager[] {new TrustAllTrustManager()}, null);
 stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(HTTPConstants.CUSTOM_PROTOCOL_HANDLER,
          new Protocol("https",(ProtocolSocketFactory)new SSLProtocolSocketFactory(sslCtx),443));
