Keith Wall commented on QPID-3739:
----------------------------------
I'll remove the DEFAULT_ALGORITHM_NAME, we don't need it.
I decided to default the algorithm names using
KeyManagerFactory#getDefaultAlgorithm() and
TrustManagerFactory#getDefaultAlgorithm() rather than using the system
properties ssl.KeyManagerFactory.algorithm and
ssl.TrustManagerFactory.algorithm to avoid the possibility that those system
properties can return null on some JVM platforms. I think it reasonable to
assume that all platforms will return a default value.
The Jetty defect mentions the GnuJVM. The classpath docs say that
getDefaultAlgorithm() returns JessieX509.

> Key: QPID-3739
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3739
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation, Java Broker, Java Client
> Affects Versions: 0.15
> Reporter: Keith Wall
> Assignee: Keith Wall
> Fix For: 0.15
>
>
> The Java client supports two system properties,
> {{qpid.ssl.trustStoreCertType}} and {{qpid.ssl.keyStoreCertType}} that the
> Programming-In-Apache-Qpid docbook describe as "the certificate type".
> These properties are defaulted to {{SunX509}} in ConnectionSettings.java and
> SSLContextFactory.java.
> Similarly, the Java broker supports a configuration item
> {{connector/ssl/certType}} which is again defaulted to {{SunX509}} in
> ServerConfiguration.
> On all code paths, these values are passed down to
> {{javax.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory
> #getInstance()}} and {{javax.net.ssl.TrustManagerFactory#getInstance()}}
> The confusion is that
> {{KeyManagerFactory#getInstance()}}/{{TrustManagerFactory#getInstance()}} do
> not accept a certificate type at all. It accepts a key/trust manager factory
> algorithm name.
> It would be better if the existing property names were deprecated and a more
> accurate name used, such as
> qpid.ssl.KeyManagerFactory.algorithm/qpid.ssl.TrustManagerFactory.algorithm.
> We would continue to support the existing properties, with a warning for a
> time period.
> I also notice that other projects tend to default the algorithm to
> Security.getProperty("ssl.KeyManagerFactory.algorithm" and only fallback to
> SunX509 if that is null. This plays better with non Sun JDKs such as IBMs.
