I don't want to omit keystore and truststore; I'm doing bidirectional (client and server) SSL authentication, that's the whole point.

Do you know why I get the SocketException? In general, has anyone successfully done both client and server SSL authentication with HttpClient without using the javax.net.ssl.keyStore and trustStore properties?

I tried the following code after building the contrib files:

    HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
    URL keyStoreURL = new URL("file:/home/raul/keyStore.jks");
    URL trustStoreURL = new URL("file:/home/raul/trustStore.jks");
    AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory socketFactory =
        new AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory(
keyStoreURL, "keyStorePassword", trustStoreURL, "trustStorePassword"); Protocol httpsProtocol = new Protocol(url.getProtocol(), socketFactory, url.getPort()); httpClient.getHostConfiguration().setHost(url.getHost(), url.getPort(), httpsProtocol);

But this fails with:

    java.net.SocketException: Default SSL context init failed: null

Thanks,

Paul,

(1) Keystore is optional. You can safely omit it.
(2) Implement a custom trust manager that trusts anything. This way you
will not need a truststore.
(3) Implement your own protocol socket factory that initializes the SSL
context with your own trust-anything trust manager. You can use
EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory as a starting point.

Hope this helps,

Oleg
