i have key and cert (combined) into one cert.pem file ,
and i getting ,
"exception": "javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException",
"message": "Received fatal alert: bad_certificate",
pem file is right, but i think problem is how i generating jks keystore file.
.pem cert format
BEGIN CERTIFICATE
...
END CERTIFICATE
BEGIN CERTIFICATE
...
END CERTIFICATE
BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY
...
END RSA PRIVATE KEY###`
combine it with keytool comand comand is
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias yourdomain -file combined.pem -keystore yourkeystore.jks
java code is
public class HttpsTrustManager implements X509TrustManager {
#Override
public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1)
throws CertificateException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1)
throws CertificateException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return new X509Certificate[]{};
}
}
request is
FileInputStream instream = new FileInputStream(
new File(this.resourcePath()+"/path_to.jks")
);
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
keyStore.load(instream, "password".toCharArray());
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContexts.custom()
.loadKeyMaterial(keyStore, "password".toCharArray()) // use null as second param if you don't have a separate key password
.build();
sslContext.init(null,new X509TrustManager[]{new HttpsTrustManager()}, new SecureRandom());
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.custom().setSSLContext(sslContext).build();
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(
new HttpPost("https://url")
);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
System.out.println("----------------------------------------");
System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());
EntityUtils.consume(entity);
When you use Apache SSLContexts.custom().loadKeyMaterial().build() it initializes the built context with the specified keystore and the default trustmanager. You then call sslContext.init() to re-initialize it with no keymanager and the specified trustmanager; this ignores and discards the prior initialization. As a result your context has no keymanager, and cannot do client auth.
You need to be consistent. Either use Apache and give the (same) builder both loadKeyMaterial and loadTrustMaterial corresponding to what you want -- in particular httpclient 4.5.4 adds org.apache.http.conn.ssl.TrustAllStrategy which implements "cheerfully let all thieves and crooks see and change my supposedly secure data". Alternatively, use JSSE to directly create an SSLContext with .getInstance() and .init() it (once!) with your zero-security trustmanager and a keymanager created from your keystore (and an explicit SecureRandom if you like but if you omit that it defaults).
However, this may not work because the keytool command you show is correct only if yourdomain was a pre-existing PrivateKeyEntry matching the cert chain you imported to it. Use keytool -list -alias yourdomain to make sure it's a PrivateKeyEntry and NOT a TrustedCertEntry. If not, and if you need to use the privatekey from the PEM file (rather than one already in a keystore) you need to first convert the key and cert chain to PKCS12 with OpenSSL, and then depending on your Java maybe convert the PKCS12 to JKS with keytool. There are dozens of Qs (and As) on several Stacks for this.
It looks like a standard question, but I couldn't find clear directions anywhere.
I have java code trying to connect to a server with probably self-signed (or expired) certificate. The code reports the following error :
[HttpMethodDirector] I/O exception (javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException) caught
when processing request: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path
building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException:
unable to find valid certification path to requested target
As I understand it, I have to use keytool and tell java that it's OK to allow this connection.
All instructions to fix this problem assume I'm fully proficient with keytool, such as
generate private key for server and import it into keystore
Is there anybody who could post detailed instructions?
I'm running unix, so bash script would be best.
Not sure if it's important, but code executed in jboss.
You have basically two options here: add the self-signed certificate to your JVM truststore or configure your client to
Option 1
Export the certificate from your browser and import it in your JVM truststore (to establish a chain of trust):
<JAVA_HOME>\bin\keytool -import -v -trustcacerts
-alias server-alias -file server.cer
-keystore cacerts.jks -keypass changeit
-storepass changeit
Option 2
Disable Certificate Validation (code from Example Depot):
// Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] {
new X509TrustManager() {
public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return new X509Certificate[0];
}
public void checkClientTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
}
public void checkServerTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
}
}
};
// Install the all-trusting trust manager
try {
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
} catch (GeneralSecurityException e) {
}
// Now you can access an https URL without having the certificate in the truststore
try {
URL url = new URL("https://hostname/index.html");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
}
Note that I do not recommend the Option #2 at all. Disabling the trust manager defeats some parts of SSL and makes you vulnerable to man in the middle attacks. Prefer Option #1 or, even better, have the server use a "real" certificate signed by a well known CA.
There's a better alternative to trusting all certificates: Create a TrustStore that specifically trusts a given certificate and use this to create a SSLContext from which to get the SSLSocketFactory to set on the HttpsURLConnection. Here's the complete code:
File crtFile = new File("server.crt");
Certificate certificate = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509").generateCertificate(new FileInputStream(crtFile));
// Or if the crt-file is packaged into a jar file:
// CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509").generateCertificate(this.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("server.crt"));
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
keyStore.load(null, null);
keyStore.setCertificateEntry("server", certificate);
TrustManagerFactory trustManagerFactory = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
trustManagerFactory.init(keyStore);
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
sslContext.init(null, trustManagerFactory.getTrustManagers(), null);
HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
connection.setSSLSocketFactory(sslContext.getSocketFactory());
You can alternatively load the KeyStore directly from a file or retrieve the X.509 Certificate from any trusted source.
Note that with this code, the certificates in cacerts will not be used. This particular HttpsURLConnection will only trust this specific certificate.
Apache HttpClient 4.5 supports accepting self-signed certificates:
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContexts.custom()
.loadTrustMaterial(new TrustSelfSignedStrategy())
.build();
SSLConnectionSocketFactory socketFactory =
new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext);
Registry<ConnectionSocketFactory> reg =
RegistryBuilder.<ConnectionSocketFactory>create()
.register("https", socketFactory)
.build();
HttpClientConnectionManager cm = new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager(reg);
CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.custom()
.setConnectionManager(cm)
.build();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
CloseableHttpResponse sslResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
This builds an SSL socket factory which will use the TrustSelfSignedStrategy, registers it with a custom connection manager then does an HTTP GET using that connection manager.
I agree with those who chant "don't do this in production", however there are use-cases for accepting self-signed certificates outside production; we use them in automated integration tests, so that we're using SSL (like in production) even when not running on the production hardware.
I chased down this problem to a certificate provider that is not part of the default JVM trusted hosts as of JDK 8u74. The provider is www.identrust.com, but that was not the domain I was trying to connect to. That domain had gotten its certificate from this provider. See Will the cross root cover trust by the default list in the JDK/JRE? -- read down a couple entries. Also see Which browsers and operating systems support Let’s Encrypt.
So, in order to connect to the domain I was interested in, which had a certificate issued from identrust.com I did the following steps. Basically, I had to get the identrust.com (DST Root CA X3) certificate to be trusted by the JVM. I was able to do that using Apache HttpComponents 4.5 like so:
1: Obtain the certificate from indettrust at Certificate Chain Download Instructions. Click on the DST Root CA X3 link.
2: Save the string to a file named "DST Root CA X3.pem". Be sure to add the lines "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" in the file at the beginning and the end.
3: Create a java keystore file, cacerts.jks with the following command:
keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -alias IdenTrust -keypass yourpassword -file dst_root_ca_x3.pem -keystore cacerts.jks -storepass yourpassword
4: Copy the resulting cacerts.jks keystore into the resources directory of your java/(maven) application.
5: Use the following code to load this file and attach it to the Apache 4.5 HttpClient. This will solve the problem for all domains that have certificates issued from indetrust.com util oracle includes the certificate into the JRE default keystore.
SSLContext sslcontext = SSLContexts.custom()
.loadTrustMaterial(new File(CalRestClient.class.getResource("/cacerts.jks").getFile()), "yourpasword".toCharArray(),
new TrustSelfSignedStrategy())
.build();
// Allow TLSv1 protocol only
SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslsf = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(
sslcontext,
new String[] { "TLSv1" },
null,
SSLConnectionSocketFactory.getDefaultHostnameVerifier());
CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()
.setSSLSocketFactory(sslsf)
.build();
When the project builds then the cacerts.jks will be copied into the classpath and loaded from there. I didn't, at this point in time, test against other ssl sites, but if the above code "chains" in this certificate then they will work too, but again, I don't know.
Reference: Custom SSL context and How do I accept a self-signed certificate with a Java HttpsURLConnection?
Rather than setting the default socket factory (which IMO is a bad thing) - yhis will just affect the current connection rather than every SSL connection you try to open:
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
// JMD - this is a better way to do it that doesn't override the default SSL factory.
if (connection instanceof HttpsURLConnection)
{
HttpsURLConnection conHttps = (HttpsURLConnection) connection;
// Set up a Trust all manager
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { new X509TrustManager()
{
public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers()
{
return null;
}
public void checkClientTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType)
{
}
public void checkServerTrusted(
java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType)
{
}
} };
// Get a new SSL context
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1.2");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
// Set our connection to use this SSL context, with the "Trust all" manager in place.
conHttps.setSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
// Also force it to trust all hosts
HostnameVerifier allHostsValid = new HostnameVerifier() {
public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) {
return true;
}
};
// and set the hostname verifier.
conHttps.setHostnameVerifier(allHostsValid);
}
InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();

Download your self-signed certificate with your browser from target page and add it to default storage with default password:
keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -file selfsigned.crt -alias myserver -keystore /etc/alternatives/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit
Use file $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts , my example here is from Oracle linux 7.7 .
If 'they' are using a self-signed certificate it is up to them to take the steps required to make their server usable. Specifically that means providing their certificate to you offline in a trustworthy way. So get them to do that. You then import that into your truststore using the keytool as described in the JSSE Reference Guide. Don't even think about the insecure TrustManager posted here.
EDIT For the benefit of the seventeen (!) downvoters, and numerous commenters below, who clearly have not actually read what I have written here, this is not a jeremiad against self-signed certificates. There is nothing wrong with self-signed certificates when implemented correctly. But, the correct way to implement them is to have the certificate delivered securely via an offline process, rather than via the unauthenticated channel they are going to be used to authenticate. Surely this is obvious? It is certainly obvious to every security-aware organization I have ever worked for, from banks with thousands of branches to my own companies. The client-side code-base 'solution' of trusting all certificates, including self-signed certificates signed by absolutely anybody, or any arbitary body setting itself up as a CA, is ipso facto not secure. It is just playing at security. It is pointless. You are having a private, tamperproof, reply-proof, injection-proof conversation with ... somebody. Anybody. A man in the middle. An impersonator. Anybody. You may as well just use plaintext.
I had the issue that I was passing a URL into a library which was calling url.openConnection(); I adapted jon-daniel's answer,
public class TrustHostUrlStreamHandler extends URLStreamHandler {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TrustHostUrlStreamHandler.class);
#Override
protected URLConnection openConnection(final URL url) throws IOException {
final URLConnection urlConnection = new URL(url.getProtocol(), url.getHost(), url.getPort(), url.getFile()).openConnection();
// adapated from
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2893819/accept-servers-self-signed-ssl-certificate-in-java-client
if (urlConnection instanceof HttpsURLConnection) {
final HttpsURLConnection conHttps = (HttpsURLConnection) urlConnection;
try {
// Set up a Trust all manager
final TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { new X509TrustManager() {
#Override
public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return null;
}
#Override
public void checkClientTrusted(final java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, final String authType) {
}
#Override
public void checkServerTrusted(final java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, final String authType) {
}
} };
// Get a new SSL context
final SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1.2");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
// Set our connection to use this SSL context, with the "Trust all" manager in place.
conHttps.setSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
// Also force it to trust all hosts
final HostnameVerifier allHostsValid = new HostnameVerifier() {
#Override
public boolean verify(final String hostname, final SSLSession session) {
return true;
}
};
// and set the hostname verifier.
conHttps.setHostnameVerifier(allHostsValid);
} catch (final NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
LOG.warn("Failed to override URLConnection.", e);
} catch (final KeyManagementException e) {
LOG.warn("Failed to override URLConnection.", e);
}
} else {
LOG.warn("Failed to override URLConnection. Incorrect type: {}", urlConnection.getClass().getName());
}
return urlConnection;
}
}
Using this class it is possible to create a new URL with:
trustedUrl = new URL(new URL(originalUrl), "", new TrustHostUrlStreamHandler());
trustedUrl.openConnection();
This has the advantage that it is localized and not replacing the default URL.openConnection.
The accepted answer is fine, but I'd like to add something to this as I was using IntelliJ on Mac and couldn't get it to work using the JAVA_HOME path variable.
It turns out Java Home was different when running the application from IntelliJ.
To figure out exactly where it is, you can just do System.getProperty("java.home") as that's where the trusted certificates are read from.
The accepted answer needs an Option 3
ALSO
Option 2 is TERRIBLE. It should NEVER be used (esp. in production) since it provides a FALSE sense of security. Just use HTTP instead of Option 2.
OPTION 3
Use the self-signed certificate to make the Https connection.

This is the first ancient question with far too many answers where I think I can provide a more helpful idea: This option is what I would use if the server owner refuses to provide their certificate to me offline in a trustworthy way:
Retrieve the cert from the server itself (using command line tools instead of the browser)
Add that cert to the java keystore to trust it. You will be displayed with the certificate's details to verify it.
# HOSTNAME_PORT is the host that you want to connect to - example: HOSTNAME_PORT=stackoverflow.com:443
HOSTNAME_PORT=hostname_part_of_url_without_https:port
# whatever you want to call the key within the Java key store
MY_KEY_ALIAS=the_key_I_added_with_help_from_stackoverflow
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect $HOSTNAME_PORT </dev/null 2>/dev/null|openssl x509 -outform PEM >mycertfile.pem
sudo keytool -trustcacerts -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts/pki/java/cacerts -storepass changeit -importcert -alias $MY_KEY_ALIAS -file mycertfile.pem
Type in yes when prompted, but only if you really trust the certificate displayed to you and want to add it to the global java keystore of your computer.
FYI:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts
is in my case (CentOS 7) pointing at:
/etc/pki/java/cacerts
This is not a solution to the complete problem but oracle has good detailed documentation on how to use this keytool. This explains how to
use keytool.
generate certs/self signed certs using keytool.
import generated certs to java clients.
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E54932_01/doc.705/e54936/cssg_create_ssl_cert.htm#CSVSG178
Instead of using keytool as suggested by the top comment, on RHEL you can use update-ca-trust starting in newer versions of RHEL 6. You'll need to have the cert in pem format. Then
trust anchor <cert.pem>
Edit /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/cert.p11-kit and change "certificate category: other-entry" to "certificate category: authority". (Or use sed to do this in a script.) Then do
update-ca-trust
A couple caveats:
I couldn't find "trust" on my RHEL 6 server and yum didn't offer to install it. I ended up using it on an RHEL 7 server and copying the .p11-kit file over.
To make this work for you, you may need to do update-ca-trust enable. This will replace /etc/pki/java/cacerts with a symbolic link pointing to /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/java/cacerts. (So you might want to back up the former first.)
If your java client uses cacerts stored in some other location, you'll want to manually replace it with a symlink to /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/java/cacerts, or replace it with that file.
The variant in Kotlin
#SuppressLint("CustomX509TrustManager", "TrustAllX509TrustManager")
fun ignoreSsl() {
val trustAllCerts: Array<TrustManager> = arrayOf(
object : X509TrustManager {
override fun getAcceptedIssuers(): Array<X509Certificate>? = null
override fun checkClientTrusted(certs: Array<X509Certificate?>?, authType: String?) {}
override fun checkServerTrusted(certs: Array<X509Certificate?>?, authType: String?) {}
})
val sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL")
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, SecureRandom())
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.socketFactory)
}
Late to the party, you can do so by disabling it at the RestTemplate level.
Note that this TrustStrategy will trust all certificates, and you disable hostname verification with NoopHostnameVerifier().
public RestTemplate getRestTemplate() throws KeyStoreException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, KeyManagementException {
TrustStrategy acceptingTrustStrategy = (x509Certificates, s) -> true;
SSLContext sslContext = org.apache.http.ssl.SSLContexts.custom().loadTrustMaterial(null, acceptingTrustStrategy).build();
SSLConnectionSocketFactory csf = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext, new NoopHostnameVerifier());
CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(csf).build();
HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory();
requestFactory.setHttpClient(httpClient);
return new RestTemplate(requestFactory);
}
Inspired by below annser, I find a way to trust self-signed and keep trust default CA.
File file = new File(System.getProperty("java.home"), "lib/security/cacerts");
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
keyStore.load(new FileInputStream(file), "changeit".toCharArray());
InputStream resourceAsStream = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("testCer.cer");
Certificate certificate = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509").generateCertificate(resourceAsStream);
keyStore.setCertificateEntry("my-server-alias", certificate);
TrustManagerFactory trustManagerFactory = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
trustManagerFactory.init(keyStore);
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContexts.createDefault();
sslContext.init(null, trustManagerFactory.getTrustManagers(), null);
// check domain
// SSLConnectionSocketFactory socketFactory = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext);
// not check domain
SSLConnectionSocketFactory socketFactory = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext,
new String[]{"TLSv1","TLSv1.1","TLSv1.2","SSLv3"},null, NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE);
CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(socketFactory).build();
factory.setHttpClient(httpClient);
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(factory);
I was running into this issue because the maven repo where the dependencies are coming from is my local server with a self-signed certificate and a self-signed CA cert. To resolve the error, I had to run these two commands:
<my_java_install_dir>\bin\keytool.exe -importcert -file <my-self-signed-CA-cert>.crt -keystore <my_java_install_dir>\lib\security\cacerts -alias my-CA-cert
and then
<my_java_install_dir>\jdk11.0.14_10\bin\keytool.exe -importcert -file <my-self-signed-maven-repo-cert>.crt -keystore <my_java_install_dir>\lib\security\cacerts -alias my-maven-repo-cert
After reading through numerous answers concerning these topics, I have found myself completely unable to string together the pieces of the puzzle, I hope you will excuse me for this.
I am trying to change my simple socket connection in Java to use SSL. I would like both the server and client to authenticate themselves if possible, but only server authentication would be good start.
Currently, this is the extremely simple code on the server side:
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port);
Socket socket = serverSocket.accept();
And this is the code on the client side:
Socket socket = null;
while (true) {
try {
socket = new Socket(ipAddress, port);
break;
} catch (Exception e) {}
}
This works fine, but without SSL.
I have generated SSL certificates for the server and client using OpenSSL, ending up with:
A certificate for the server (PEM format)
A certificate for the client (PEM format)
A private key for the server (PEM format)
A private key for the client (PEM format)
A CA file (PEM, CER and CRT format)
From this I have used OpenSSL to create PKCS12 (.p12) keystores for both the client and the server, as follows
server.p12, made by doing openssl pkcs12 -export -in server-cert.pem -inkey server-private-key.pem -out server.p12
client.p12, made by doing openssl pkcs12 -export -in client-cert.pem -inkey client-private-key.pem -out client.p12
Then, I turned these into JKS keystores by using keytool (for the server, for example, the command was keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore server.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore server.jks -deststoretype JKS), resulting in two files named server.jks and client.jks.
I then use the following code as replacement for the previous server snippet:
char[] keyStorePassword = "JKSPassword".toCharArray();
FileInputStream keyStoreFile = new FileInputStream("somepath/server.jks");
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
keyStore.load(keyStoreFile, keyStorePassword);
KeyManagerFactory keyManagerFactory = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance(KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
keyManagerFactory.init(keyStore, "PKCS12Password".toCharArray());
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getDefault();
ServerSocket serverSocket = sslContext.getServerSocketFactory().createServerSocket(port);
Socket socket = serverSocket.accept();
And the following code as replacement for the client snippet:
Socket socket = null;
while (true) {
try {
char[] keyStorePassword = "JKSPassword".toCharArray();
FileInputStream keyStoreFile = new FileInputStream("somepath/client.jks");
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
keyStore.load(keyStoreFile, keyStorePassword);
KeyManagerFactory keyManagerFactory = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance(KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
keyManagerFactory.init(keyStore, "PKCS12Password".toCharArray());
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getDefault();
socket = sslContext.getSocketFactory().createSocket(ipAddress, port);
break;
} catch (Exception e) {}
}
I now still get javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: no cipher suites in common on the server (and javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure on the client).
What could be wrong?
I found the missing part of the puzzle (I believe).
Instead of the line SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getDefault(); on the client, I put:
BufferedInputStream serverCertificateFile = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("somepath/server-cert.der"));
X509Certificate serverCertificate = (X509Certificate)
CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509").generateCertificate(serverCertificateFile);
sslContext.init(keyManagerFactory.getKeyManagers(), new TrustManager[] {
new X509TrustManager() {
#Override
public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0,
String arg1) throws CertificateException {
throw new CertificateException();
}
#Override
public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0,
String arg1) throws CertificateException {
boolean valid = false;
for (X509Certificate certificate : arg0) {
try {
certificate.verify(serverCertificate.getPublicKey());
valid = true;
break;
} catch (SignatureException e) {}
}
if (!valid) {
throw new CertificateException();
}
}
#Override
public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return new X509Certificate[0];
}
}
}, new SecureRandom());
server-cert.der is a file, created with openssl509 -outform der -in server-cert.pem -out server-cert.der.
I was not able to find good tutorials or question on this matter on StackOverflow, so this is what I created by attempting to understand the reference guide.
Essentially, I am creating a TrustManager that, for a server, trusts it when one of the provided certificates is the one that belongs to your own server.
It appears to work, please let me know if there is anything principally wrong with this approach (I unfortunately assume there is). Thanks for having read so much!
I think that by now, nearly every Java coder who's had experience with SSL certificate trusting errors has used or at least encountered this code:
// Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts;
trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] {
new X509TrustManager() {
#Override
public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return null;
}
#Override
public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
}
#Override
public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
}
}
};
// Install the all-trusting trust manager
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
// Create all-trusting host name verifier
HostnameVerifier allHostsValid = new HostnameVerifier() {
#Override
public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) {
return true;
}
};
// Install the all-trusting host verifier
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(allHostsValid);
So far, I have used this code with success to ignor certificate mismatches when accessing an HTTPs site via its IP address (don't ask me why I do it, it's a completely different story). However, I tried to do the same thing for another HTTPs site, and found that this code fails with the following exception:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints
So, the question is, what is wrong, and what can I do about it?
I've fixed the problem. It looks like the server is using MD2 in its certificate. So far, the only fix I know for this problem is locating the jre/lib/security/java.security file in your JDK path and changing jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2 to jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms= so that the MD2 algorithm isn't disabled. This looks really nasty, but, sadly, I couldn't find a way to enable MD2 programmatically.
Looking back, I now remember that I COULD access it, but only before I updated Java, which killed the java.security file edit.
I try to connect to a server with a self-signed certificate. I use this code to accept all certificates.
public class CertificateAcceptor {
public void initializeTrustManager() {
try {
SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
context.init(null, createTrustManager(), new SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(context.getSocketFactory());
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (KeyManagementException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private TrustManager[] createTrustManager() {
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] {
new X509TrustManager() {
#Override
public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return null;
}
#Override
public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException {
// leave blank to trust all clients
}
#Override
public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException {
// leave blank to trust all servers
for (X509Certificate c : chain) {
System.out.println(c.toString());
}
}
}
};
return trustAllCerts;
}
}
But nevertheless i get the following error:
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match: <xyz.ch> != <localhost>

I'm sure that my Certificate code is executed, so what could be the problem?
ALLOW_ALL is not the correct answer. You should set up your certificate with the correct name by using keytool with the ext extension:
keytool -genkeypair \
-keystore keystore.jks \
-dname "CN=OLEKSIYS-W3T, OU=Sun Java System Application Server, O=Sun Microsystems, L=Santa Clara, ST=California, C=US" \
-keypass changeit \
-storepass changeit \
-keyalg RSA \
-keysize 2048 \
-alias default \
-ext SAN=DNS:localhost,IP:127.0.0.1 \
-validity 9999
See http://tersesystems.com/2014/03/23/fixing-hostname-verification/ for more details.
You may use SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER
SSLSocketFactory sf = new SSLSocketFactory(
SSLContext.getInstance("TLS"),
SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
Scheme sch = new Scheme("https", 443, sf);
httpclient.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(sch);
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("https://host/");

Have you tried calling setDefaultHostnameVerifier of HttpsURLConnection.
See this link for an example:
Accepting a certificate for HTTPs on Android
The Answer by Prashant may not work, as you need to initialize the SSLContext as well.
I would do it something like,
SSLSocketFactory sf=null ;
SSLContext sslContext = null;
StringWriter writer;
try {
sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS") ;
sslContext.init(null,null,null);
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
//<YourErrorHandling>
} catch (KeyManagementException e){
//<YourErrorHandling>
}
try{
sf = new SSLSocketFactory(sslContext, SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
} catch(Exception e) {
//<YourErrorHandling>
}
Scheme scheme = new Scheme("https",443,sf);
httpClient.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(scheme);
My issue was, that Java SE 6 or smaller does not support SNI. That means, that one IP can only have one ssl cert. But on my server, there were 3 diffferent apis with different ssl certs. Java SE 7 or greater support SNI and everything worked just fine. (or only running one api on the server)
