public class AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory extends Object implements org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.SecureProtocolSocketFactory
AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory can be used to validate the identity of the HTTPS server against a list of trusted certificates and to authenticate to the HTTPS server using a private key.
AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory will enable server authentication when supplied with
a truststore
file containg one or several trusted certificates.
The client secure socket will reject the connection during the SSL session handshake
if the target HTTPS server attempts to authenticate itself with a non-trusted
certificate.
Use JDK keytool utility to import a trusted certificate and generate a truststore file:
keytool -import -alias "my server cert" -file server.crt -keystore my.truststore
AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory will enable client authentication when supplied with
a keystore
file containg a private key/public certificate pair.
The client secure socket will use the private key to authenticate itself to the target
HTTPS server during the SSL session handshake if requested to do so by the server.
The target HTTPS server will in its turn verify the certificate presented by the client
in order to establish client's authenticity
Use the following sequence of actions to generate a keystore file
Use JDK keytool utility to generate a new key
keytool -genkey -v -alias "my client key" -validity 365 -keystore my.keystoreFor simplicity use the same password for the key as that of the keystore
Issue a certificate signing request (CSR)
keytool -certreq -alias "my client key" -file mycertreq.csr -keystore my.keystore
Send the certificate request to the trusted Certificate Authority for signature. One may choose to act as her own CA and sign the certificate request using a PKI tool, such as OpenSSL.
Import the trusted CA root certificate
keytool -import -alias "my trusted ca" -file caroot.crt -keystore my.keystore
Import the PKCS#7 file containg the complete certificate chain
keytool -import -alias "my client key" -file mycert.p7 -keystore my.keystore
Verify the content the resultant keystore file
keytool -list -v -keystore my.keystore
Example of using custom protocol socket factory for a specific host:
Protocol authhttps = new Protocol("https", new AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory( new URL("file:my.keystore"), "mypassword", new URL("file:my.truststore"), "mypassword"), 443); HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.getHostConfiguration().setHost("localhost", 443, authhttps); // use relative url only GetMethod httpget = new GetMethod("/"); client.executeMethod(httpget);
Example of using custom protocol socket factory per default instead of the standard one:
Protocol authhttps = new Protocol("https", new AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory( new URL("file:my.keystore"), "mypassword", new URL("file:my.truststore"), "mypassword"), 443); Protocol.registerProtocol("https", authhttps); HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); GetMethod httpget = new GetMethod("https://localhost/"); client.executeMethod(httpget);
DISCLAIMER: HttpClient developers DO NOT actively support this component. The component is provided as a reference material, which may be inappropriate for use without additional customization.

keystoreUrl
- URL of the keystore file. May be null if HTTPS client
authentication is not to be used.keystorePassword
- Password to unlock the keystore. IMPORTANT: this implementation
assumes that the same password is used to protect the key and the keystore itself.truststoreUrl
- URL of the truststore file. May be null if HTTPS server
authentication is not to be used.truststorePassword
- Password to unlock the truststore.public AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory(KeyCert cert)
public Socket createSocket(String host, int port, InetAddress localAddress, int localPort, org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpConnectionParams params) throws IOException, UnknownHostException, org.apache.commons.httpclient.ConnectTimeoutException
To circumvent the limitations of older JREs that do not support connect timeout a
controller thread is executed. The controller thread attempts to create a new socket
within the given limit of time. If socket constructor does not return until the
timeout expires, the controller terminates and throws an ConnectTimeoutException
