I have been wanting JSS and a chance to work with it for quite some
time. Now I have both, but I can't seem to get past the first steps.
The sample code I found on mozilla.org seems dated. I had to make some
modifications to get the SSLClient.java to compile. When I try to run
it, I get a message telling me:
java.net.SocketException: Failed to enable cipher 0xff05
: (-12266) An unknown SSL cipher suite has been requested.
at org.mozilla.jss.ssl.SSLSocket.setCipherPreference(Native Method)
at SSLClient.<init>(SSLClient.java:263)
at SSLClient.main(SSLClient.java:324)
This looks like a java.net error. I have the feeling java doesn't know
where to find the NSS or something. I am not sure what else I need to
do in order to get this to work. I recall that when I used JSSE way
back when I had to tell it where to find some additional ciphers, etc.
Is there a step similar to this which I am not aware of for JSS?
I'd really like to use this suite. I believe I can do a great deal with
it, but if I spend much more time trying to get the basics working, it
will be a non-starter.
Is there a good step-by-step set of instructions which is fairly
current. I'm running on both w2k and Solaris 8, sparc.
TIA,
Steven
