How to programmatically set the SSLContext of a JAX-WS client

Question

I m working on a server in a distributed application that has browser clients and also participates in server-to-server communication with a 3rd party  My server has a CA-signed certificate to let my clients connect using TLS  SSL  communication using HTTP S and XMPP secure    That s all working fine   Now I need to securely connect to a 3rd party server using JAX-WS over HTTPS SSL  In this communication  my server acts as client in the JAX-WS interation and I ve a client certificate signed by the 3rd party    I tried adding a new keystore through the standard system configuration  -Djavax net ssl keyStore xyz  but my other components are clearly affected by this   Although my other components are using dedicated parameters for their SSL configuration  my xmpp keystore xxx  my xmpp truststore xxy        it seems that they end up using the global SSLContext    The configuration namespace my xmpp  seemed to indicate separation  but it s not the case   I also tried adding my client certificate into my original keystore  but -again- my other components don t seem to like it either   I think that my only option left is to programmatically hook into the JAX-WS HTTPS configuration to setup the keystore and truststore for the client JAX-WS interaction    Any ideas pointers on how to do this  All information I find either uses the javax net ssl keyStore method or is setting the global SSLContext that -I guess- will end up in the same confilc   The closest I got to something helpful was this old bug report that requests the feature I need  Add support for passing an SSLContext to the JAX-WS client runtime  Any takes

I tried the following and it didn t work on my environment   bindingProvider getRequestContext   put  com sun xml internal ws transport https client SSLSocketFactory   getCustomSocketFactory       But different property worked like a charm   bindingProvider getRequestContext   put JAXWSProperties SSL SOCKET FACTORY  getCustomSocketFactory       The rest of the code was taken from the first reply

I had problems trusting a self signed certificate when setting up the trust manager  I used the SSLContexts builder of the apache httpclient to create a custom SSLSocketFactory  SSLContext sslcontext   SSLContexts custom            loadKeyMaterial keyStoreFile   keystorePassword toCharArray    keyPassword toCharArray             loadTrustMaterial trustStoreFile   password  toCharArray    new TrustSelfSignedStrategy             build    SSLSocketFactory customSslFactory   sslcontext getSocketFactory   bindingProvider getRequestContext   put JAXWSProperties SSL SOCKET FACTORY  customSslFactory     and passing in the new TrustSelfSignedStrategy   as an argument in the loadTrustMaterial method

For those trying and still not getting it to work  this did it for me with Wildfly 8  using the dynamic Dispatcher   bindingProvider getRequestContext   put  com sun xml ws transport https client SSLSocketFactory   yourSslSocketFactory    Note that the internal part from the Property key is gone here

This is how I solved it based on this post with some minor tweaks  This solution does not require creation of any additional classes   SSLContext sc   SSLContext getInstance  SSLv3     KeyManagerFactory kmf       KeyManagerFactory getInstance  KeyManagerFactory getDefaultAlgorithm       KeyStore ks   KeyStore getInstance  KeyStore getDefaultType      ks load new FileInputStream  certPath    certPasswd toCharArray       kmf init  ks  certPasswd toCharArray       sc init  kmf getKeyManagers    null  null       BindingProvider  webservicePort  getRequestContext        put           com sun xml internal ws transport https client SSLSocketFactory           sc getSocketFactory

This one was a hard nut to crack  so for the record   To solve this  it required a custom KeyManager and a SSLSocketFactory that uses this custom KeyManager to access the separated KeyStore  I found the base code for this KeyStore and SSLFactory on this excellent blog entry  how-to-dynamically-select-a-certificate-alias-when-invoking-web-services  Then  the specialized SSLSocketFactory needs to be inserted into the WebService context   service   getWebServicePort getWSDLLocation     BindingProvider bindingProvider    BindingProvider  service   bindingProvider getRequestContext   put  com sun xml internal ws transport https client SSLSocketFactory   getCustomSocketFactory        Where the getCustomSocketFactory   returns a SSLSocketFactory created using the method mentioned above   This would only work for JAX-WS RI from the Sun-Oracle impl built into the JDK  given that the string indicating the SSLSocketFactory property is proprietary for this implementation    At this stage  the JAX-WS service communication is secured through SSL  but if you are loading the WSDL from the same secure server    then you ll have a bootstrap problem  as the HTTPS request to gather the WSDL will not be using the same credentials than the Web Service  I worked around this problem by making the WSDL locally available  file         and  dynamically changing the web service endpoint   a good discussion on why this is needed can be found in this forum   bindingProvider getRequestContext   put BindingProvider ENDPOINT ADDRESS PROPERTY  webServiceLocation      Now the WebService gets bootstrapped and is able to communicate through SSL with the server counterpart using a named  alias  Client-Certificate and mutual authentication

I tried the steps here   http   jyotirbhandari blogspot com 2011 09 java-error-invalidalgorithmparameterexc html  And  that fixed the issue  I made some minor tweaks - I set the two parameters using System getProperty

By combining Radek and l0co s answers you can access the WSDL behind https   SSLContext sc   SSLContext getInstance  TLS     KeyManagerFactory kmf   KeyManagerFactory          getInstance KeyManagerFactory getDefaultAlgorithm      KeyStore ks   KeyStore getInstance  JKS    ks load getClass   getResourceAsStream keystore           password toCharArray      kmf init ks  password toCharArray      sc init kmf getKeyManagers    null  null    HttpsURLConnection          setDefaultSSLSocketFactory sc getSocketFactory      yourService   new YourService url     Handshake should succeed

The above is fine  as I said in comment  unless your WSDL is accessible with https    too   Here is my workaround for this   Set you SSLSocketFactory as default   HttpsURLConnection setDefaultSSLSocketFactory         For Apache CXF which I use you need also add these lines to your config    lt http-conf conduit name    http-conduit  gt     lt http-conf tlsClientParameters useHttpsURLConnectionDefaultSslSocketFactory  true    gt   lt http-conf conduit gt

You can move your proxy authentication and ssl staff to soap handler    port   new SomeService   getServicePort      Binding binding     BindingProvider  port  getBinding      binding setHandlerChain
