Hi,
I am trying to access a https site programmatically using SSL over Sockets.
The server requires client authentication. I have the certificate that is needed for client authentication. However I am not able to access the site through my program. I have gone through the JSSE docs site and am trying to do the same.
My certificate is in p12 format. After a lot of search and changes now I am completely confused as to how to use the keystore ,whther it should be jks or pkcs12 and then what to do with truststore.
I am adding the code that i have written but am sure is wrong. Can someone point in my code where I am going wrong and what has to be done.
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.net.ssl.*;
/*
* This example demostrates how to use a SSLSocket as client to
* send a HTTP request and get response from an HTTPS server.
* It assumes that the client is not behind a firewall
*/
public class SSLSocketClient {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
try {
SSLSocketFactory factory =
(SSLSocketFactory)SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
SSLSocket socket =
(SSLSocket)factory.createSocket("www.TransUnionNetAccess.com", 3019);
/*
* send http request
*
* Before any application data is sent or received, the
* SSL socket will do SSL handshaking first to set up
* the security attributes.
*
* SSL handshaking can be initiated by either flushing data
* down the pipe, or by starting the handshaking by hand.
*
* Handshaking is started manually in this example because
* PrintWriter catches all IOExceptions (including
* SSLExceptions), sets an internal error flag, and then
* returns without rethrowing the exception.
*
* Unfortunately, this means any error messages are lost,
* which caused lots of confusion for others using this
* code. The only way to tell there was an error is to call
* PrintWriter.checkError().
*/
socket.startHandshake();
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(
new BufferedWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(
socket.getOutputStream())));
out.println("GET / HTTP/1.0");
out.println();
out.flush();
/*
* Make sure there were no surprises
*/
if (out.checkError())
System.out.println(
"SSLSocketClient: java.io.PrintWriter error");
/* read response */
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
socket.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);
in.close();
out.close();
socket.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
