Method Detail

getCertificateLocation

public static IPath getCertificateLocation()

Returns:

The certificate path in the local file system.

getCertificateManager

public static ICertificateManager getCertificateManager()

Get the ICertificateManager singleton implementation.

Returns:

The ICertificateManager.

getTrustManager

public static javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager getTrustManager(javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager slave)

Get a X509TrustManager wrapping up the specified slave. The returned manager will use the ICertificateTrustVerifiers that are specified via the eu.geclipse.core.certificateTrustVerifier extension point to verify trust on certificates that are not yet known as trusted or untrusted.

Parameters:

slave - The slave manager that is used at the very first step to verify certificate trust.

Returns:

A trust manager wrapping up the specified slave.

getSocketFactory

public static final javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory getSocketFactory()
                                                             throws java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException,

Get a singleton implementation of an SSLSocketFactory that hooks in the g-Eclipse trust management into the SSL/TLS framework.

Returns:

A SSLSocketFactory singleton.

Throws:

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException

java.security.KeyManagementException

java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException

java.security.KeyStoreException
