Re: HTTPS/JSSE problem

[Michael Becke]

By default JSSE only support SSL certs that are signed by Verisign or Thawte. To use a self signed cert (this appears to be what you are doing) you have two options:

1) import the servers cert into your keystore
2) mess around with the X509 stuff, someone posted a URL earlier talking about how to do this

  Now I get the runtime error:

javax.net.ssl.SSLException: untrusted server cert chain


  Is there anything more that needs to be done to setup the connection?
I've seend some examples that setup all sorts of X509 stuff.  Is that
required too?  I'm using JSSE 1.0.3_01.

You need to add the following line to your code somewhere:

Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());

The "java.protocol.handler.pkgs" property is only needed if you want to use https with java.net.URL.

I previously thought that addProvider() was not needed, but it seems that it is. We probably need to change this in documentation in a few places.
