public class: KeyManagerFactory [javadoc | source]
java.lang.Object
   javax.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory
This class acts as a factory for key managers based on a source of key material. Each key manager manages a specific type of key material for use by secure sockets. The key material is based on a KeyStore and/or provider specific sources.
Constructor:
 protected KeyManagerFactory(KeyManagerFactorySpi factorySpi,
    Provider provider,
    String algorithm) 
    Creates a KeyManagerFactory object.
    Parameters:
    factorySpi - the delegate
    provider - the provider
    algorithm - the algorithm
Method from javax.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory Summary:
getAlgorithm,   getDefaultAlgorithm,   getInstance,   getInstance,   getInstance,   getKeyManagers,   getProvider,   init,   init
Methods from java.lang.Object:
clone,   equals,   finalize,   getClass,   hashCode,   notify,   notifyAll,   toString,   wait,   wait,   wait
Method from javax.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory Detail:
 public final String getAlgorithm() 
    Returns the algorithm name of this KeyManagerFactory object.

    This is the same name that was specified in one of the getInstance calls that created this KeyManagerFactory object.

 public static final String getDefaultAlgorithm() 
 public static final KeyManagerFactory getInstance(String algorithm) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException 
    Returns a KeyManagerFactory object that acts as a factory for key managers.

    This method traverses the list of registered security Providers, starting with the most preferred Provider. A new KeyManagerFactory object encapsulating the KeyManagerFactorySpi implementation from the first Provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.

    Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security.getProviders() method.

 public static final KeyManagerFactory getInstance(String algorithm,
    String provider) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchProviderException 
    Returns a KeyManagerFactory object that acts as a factory for key managers.

    A new KeyManagerFactory object encapsulating the KeyManagerFactorySpi implementation from the specified provider is returned. The specified provider must be registered in the security provider list.

    Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security.getProviders() method.

 public static final KeyManagerFactory getInstance(String algorithm,
    Provider provider) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException 
    Returns a KeyManagerFactory object that acts as a factory for key managers.

    A new KeyManagerFactory object encapsulating the KeyManagerFactorySpi implementation from the specified Provider object is returned. Note that the specified Provider object does not have to be registered in the provider list.

 public final KeyManager[] getKeyManagers() 
    Returns one key manager for each type of key material.
 public final Provider getProvider() 
    Returns the provider of this KeyManagerFactory object.
 public final  void init(ManagerFactoryParameters spec) throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException 
    Initializes this factory with a source of provider-specific key material.

    In some cases, initialization parameters other than a keystore and password may be needed by a provider. Users of that particular provider are expected to pass an implementation of the appropriate ManagerFactoryParameters as defined by the provider. The provider can then call the specified methods in the ManagerFactoryParameters implementation to obtain the needed information.

 public final  void init(KeyStore ks,
    char[] password) throws KeyStoreException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, UnrecoverableKeyException 
    Initializes this factory with a source of key material.

    The provider typically uses a KeyStore for obtaining key material for use during secure socket negotiations. The KeyStore is generally password-protected.
