public interface: X509TrustManager [javadoc | source]

All Implemented Interfaces:
TrustManager

All Known Implementing Classes:
X509ExtendedTrustManager

Instance of this interface manage which X509 certificates may be used to authenticate the remote side of a secure socket. Decisions may be based on trusted certificate authorities, certificate revocation lists, online status checking or other means.

Method from javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager Summary:
checkClientTrusted, checkServerTrusted, getAcceptedIssuers

Method from javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager Detail:
public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException Given the partial or complete certificate chain provided by the peer, build a certificate path to a trusted root and return if it can be validated and is trusted for client SSL authentication based on the authentication type. The authentication type is determined by the actual certificate used. For instance, if RSAPublicKey is used, the authType should be "RSA". Checking is case-sensitive.
public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException Given the partial or complete certificate chain provided by the peer, build a certificate path to a trusted root and return if it can be validated and is trusted for server SSL authentication based on the authentication type. The authentication type is the key exchange algorithm portion of the cipher suites represented as a String, such as "RSA", "DHE_DSS". Note: for some exportable cipher suites, the key exchange algorithm is determined at run time during the handshake. For instance, for TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5, the authType should be RSA_EXPORT when an ephemeral RSA key is used for the key exchange, and RSA when the key from the server certificate is used. Checking is case-sensitive.
public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() Return an array of certificate authority certificates which are trusted for authenticating peers.

 public  void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain,
    String authType) throws CertificateExceptionGiven the partial or complete certificate chain provided by the
peer, build a certificate path to a trusted root and return if
it can be validated and is trusted for client SSL
authentication based on the authentication type.

The authentication type is determined by the actual certificate
used. For instance, if RSAPublicKey is used, the authType
should be "RSA". Checking is case-sensitive.

 public  void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain,
    String authType) throws CertificateExceptionGiven the partial or complete certificate chain provided by the

it can be validated and is trusted for server SSL
authentication based on the authentication type.

The authentication type is the key exchange algorithm portion
of the cipher suites represented as a String, such as "RSA",
"DHE_DSS". Note: for some exportable cipher suites, the key
exchange algorithm is determined at run time during the

certificate is used. Checking is case-sensitive.

 public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers()Return an array of certificate authority certificates
which are trusted for authenticating peers.
