Class JSSSocketFactory

java.lang.Object

netscape.ldap.factory.JSSSocketFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, LDAPSocketFactory, LDAPTLSSocketFactory, org.mozilla.jss.ssl.SSLCertificateApprovalCallback

public class JSSSocketFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, LDAPTLSSocketFactory, org.mozilla.jss.ssl.SSLCertificateApprovalCallback

Creates an SSL socket connection to a server, using the Netscape/Mozilla JSS package. This class implements the LDAPSocketFactory interface.

By default, the factory uses "secmod.db", "key*.db" and "cert*.db" databases in the current directory. If you need to override this default setting, then you should use the constructor JSSSocketFactory(certdbDir).

Constructor Detail

JSSSocketFactory

public JSSSocketFactory()
                 throws LDAPException

Constructs a new JSSSocketFactory, initializing the JSS security system if it has not already been initialized.

The current directory is assumed to be the certificate database directory.

Throws:

LDAPException - on initialization error

JSSSocketFactory(java.lang.String)

JSSSocketFactory

public JSSSocketFactory(java.lang.String certdbDir)
                 throws LDAPException

Constructs a new JSSSocketFactory, initializing the JSS security system if it has not already been initialized.

Parameters:

certdbDir - The full path, relative or absolute, of the certificate database directory

Throws:

LDAPException - on initialization error

Method Detail

initialize

public static void initialize(java.lang.String certdbDir)
                       throws LDAPException

Initialize the JSS security subsystem.

This method allows you to override the current directory as the default certificate database directory. The directory is expected to contain secmod.db, key*.db and cert*.db files as the security module database, key database and certificate database respectively.

The method may be called only once, before the first instance of JSSSocketFactory is created. When creating the first instance, the constructor will automatically initialize the JSS security subsystem using the defaults, unless it is already initialized.

Parameters:

certdbDir - The full path, relative or absolute, of the certificate database directory.

Throws:

LDAPException - on initialization error

makeSocket

public java.net.Socket makeSocket(java.lang.String host,
                                  int port)
                           throws LDAPException

Creates an SSL socket

Specified by:

makeSocket in interface LDAPSocketFactory

Parameters:

host - Host name or IP address of SSL server

port - Port numbers of SSL server

Returns:

A socket for an encrypted session

Throws:

LDAPException - on error creating socket

See Also:

LDAPSSLSocketFactory.makeSocket(java.lang.String,int)

approve

public boolean approve(org.mozilla.jss.crypto.X509Certificate serverCert,
                       org.mozilla.jss.ssl.SSLCertificateApprovalCallback.ValidityStatus status)

The default implementation of the SSLCertificateApprovalCallback interface.

This default implementation always returns true. If you need to verify the server certificate validity, then you should override this method.

Specified by:

approve in interface org.mozilla.jss.ssl.SSLCertificateApprovalCallback

Parameters:

serverCert - X509 Certificate

status - The validity of the server certificate

Returns:

true, by default we trust the certificate

makeSocket

public java.net.Socket makeSocket(java.net.Socket s)
                           throws LDAPException

Creates an SSL socket layered over an existing socket. Used for the startTLS implementation (RFC2830).

Specified by:

makeSocket in interface LDAPTLSSocketFactory

Parameters:

s - An existing non-SSL socket

Returns:

A SSL socket layered over the input socket

Throws:

LDAPException - on error creating socket

Since:

LDAPJDK 4.17
