Self signed cert or ca not installed on client but FTPS still works -------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: NET-448 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-448 Project: Commons Net Issue Type: Bug Components: FTP Affects Versions: 3.1, 2.0 Environment: client: Windows SP sp4, jdk 1.6.0_24 server: Linux 2.6.32-220.4.2.el6.i686 running vsFTPd 2.2.2 apache lib: commons-net-2.0.jar or commons-net-3.1.jar or commons-net-2.0-jdk14.jar (from zehon) Reporter: Deepak Pant Priority: Trivial I am using vsftpd ftp server on centos with our own self signed root ca certificate. I have not installed the self signed root certificate on the client machine. Neither am I setting the Trust Manager on the FTPSClient object, using X509TrustManager instance pointing to my physical cert file. But I am still able to use the FTPSClient bundled in any of the following jar file and send/receive the files. commons-net-2.0.jar commons-net-3.1.jar commons-net-2.0-jdk14.jar (from zehon) I was expecting that I will have to either install the self signed root ca on the client machine Or set Trust Manager etc. Can you please explain the behavior? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
