SSL and Apache

[Sangeetha Ragavan]

Hi,
I want a java client application(not a browser) to send request to apache ssl server.I have created a certificate in the server.Could someone tell the steps that need to be done at the client location so that a SSL handshake error be avoided?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
In ur ClientApplication u implement the RMISSLClientSocketFactory and override the createSocket Method.
Iam giving a snippet of the code below
"
public Socket createSocket(String theHost, int thePort) throws IOException {
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
//setting system properties for trust store and keystore
setSystemPropertiesForKeyStore();

SSLSocketFactory socketFactory = (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket) socketFactory.createSocket(theHost, thePort);
return socket;
}
"
In setSystemPropertiesForKeyStore() u set the set property for the Keystore path,keystorepassword ,truststore location ,truststore password
Juz like below
" System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", keyStoreFileLocation);"
I hope this will help u
Have a great Day
