Update SSL configuration how-to to describe how to select different keystore
algorithms
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FTPSERVER-179
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FTPSERVER-179
Project: FtpServer
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: 1.0-M3
Environment: IBM AIX 5.2, IBM java J2RE 1.5.0 IBM AIX build
pap64devifx-20071025 (SR6b)
Reporter: Gary Bell
Priority: Trivial
The DefaultSslConfiguration class understandably selects the SunX509 algorithm
as a sensible default, but this algorithm is not available on AIX running the
IBM JVM shown above. Attempting to configure SSL using the config.xml file
results in the exception:
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: SunX509 KeyManagerFactory not available
On my machine, the "IbmX509" algorithm should be used instead of the SunX509
one. But the SSL configuration howto does not explain how to select a different
algorithm and does not mention the "algorithm" attribute that can be applied to
the <keystore> and <truststore> elements.
The document therefore needs to be updated. For reference, my config now reads:
<ssl>
<keystore file="./res/conf/ftpserver.jks" password="password"
algorithm="IbmX509"/>
<truststore file="./res/conf/truststore.jks"
password="password" algorithm="IbmX509"/>
</ssl>
Thank you very much.
