Ignore self-signed ssl cert using Jersey Client

Question

I m using the Jersey Client library to run tests against a rest service running on jboss  I have https set up fine on the server  running on localhost   using a self signed cert    However whenever I run my tests with the https url I get the following error   com sun jersey api client ClientHandlerException  javax net ssl SSLHandshakeException  sun security validator ValidatorException  PKIX path building failed  sun security provider certpath SunCertPathBuilderException  unable to find valid certification path to requested target     at com sun jersey client urlconnection URLConnectionClientHandler handle URLConnectionClientHandler java 131      at com sun jersey api client Client handle Client java 629      at com sun jersey oauth client OAuthClientFilter handle OAuthClientFilter java 137      at com sun jersey api client WebResource handle WebResource java 601      at com sun jersey api client WebResource access 200 WebResource java 74      at com sun jersey api client WebResource Builder get WebResource java 459      at test helper Helper sendSignedRequest Helper java 174          And so on   I know this is because my self signed cert is not in the java keystore  Is there any way I can make the Client not check the validity of the ssl cert and just use it regardless   This code will only ever be run against test servers so I don t want to go to the hassle of adding new trusted certs each time we set up a new test server   Here s the code which is making the call   OAuthParameters params   new OAuthParameters        baseline OAuth parameters for access to resource params signatureMethod props getProperty  signature method     params consumerKey props getProperty  consumer key     params setToken props getProperty  token     params setVersion  1 0    params nonce        OAuth secrets to access resource OAuthSecrets secrets   new OAuthSecrets    secrets consumerSecret props getProperty  consumer secret     secrets setTokenSecret props getProperty  token secret         Jersey client to make REST calls to token services Client client   Client create        OAuth test server resource WebResource resource   client resource props getProperty  url         if parameters and secrets remain static  filter cab be added to each web resource OAuthClientFilter filter   new OAuthClientFilter client getProviders    params  secrets       filter added at the web resource level resource addFilter filter   WebResource Builder wbr   resource getRequestBuilder   accept props getProperty  accept      return wbr get ClientResponse class     Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just adding the same code with the imports  Also contains the unimplemented code that is needed for compilation  I initially had trouble finding out what was imported for this code  Also adding the right package for the X509Certificate  Got this working with trial and error   import javax net ssl HttpsURLConnection  import javax net ssl SSLContext  import javax net ssl TrustManager  import javax net ssl X509TrustManager  import javax security cert CertificateException  import javax security cert X509Certificate  import javax ws rs core MultivaluedMap    TrustManager   trustAllCerts   new TrustManager     new X509TrustManager           public java security cert X509Certificate   getAcceptedIssuers              java security cert X509Certificate   chck   null                      return chck               public void checkServerTrusted X509Certificate   arg0  String arg1               throws CertificateException               TODO Auto-generated method stub               public void checkClientTrusted X509Certificate   arg0  String arg1               throws CertificateException                 public void checkClientTrusted               java security cert X509Certificate   arg0  String arg1                       throws java security cert CertificateException               TODO Auto-generated method stub               public void checkServerTrusted               java security cert X509Certificate   arg0  String arg1                       throws java security cert CertificateException               TODO Auto-generated method stub                    Install the all-trusting trust manager  try        SSLContext sc   SSLContext getInstance  TLS         sc init null  trustAllCerts  new SecureRandom          HttpsURLConnection       setDefaultSSLSocketFactory sc getSocketFactory        catch  Exception e

I had the same problem adn did not want this to be set globally  so I used the same TrustManager and SSLContext code as above  I just changed the Client to be created with special properties   ClientConfig config   new DefaultClientConfig     config getProperties   put HTTPSProperties PROPERTY HTTPS PROPERTIES  new HTTPSProperties       new HostnameVerifier               Override          public boolean verify  String s  SSLSession sslSession                     whatever your matching policy states                         Client client   Client create config

I noticed that when using the Apache http client configuration with a pooling manager  the accepted answer doesn t work   In this case it appears that the ClientConfig sslContext and ClientConfig hostnameVerifier setters are silently ignored  So if you are using connection pooling with the apache client http client config  you should be able to use the following code to get ssl verification to be ignored     ClientConfig clientConfig   new ClientConfig             configure your clientConfig   SSLContext sslContext   null    try       sslContext   SSLContext getInstance  SSL        sslContext init null  new TrustManager             new X509TrustManager                Override           public void checkClientTrusted X509Certificate   x509Certificates  String s                            Override           public void checkServerTrusted X509Certificate   x509Certificates  String s                            Override           public X509Certificate   getAcceptedIssuers                 return new X509Certificate                                    null       catch  NoSuchAlgorithmException e          logger debug  Ignoring  NoSuchAlgorithmException  while ignoring ssl certificate validation         catch  KeyManagementException e          logger debug  Ignoring  KeyManagementException  while ignoring ssl certificate validation           Registry lt ConnectionSocketFactory gt  socketFactoryRegistry   RegistryBuilder  lt ConnectionSocketFactory gt create          register  http   PlainConnectionSocketFactory getSocketFactory           register  https   new SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslContext  new AbstractVerifier              Override         public void verify String host  String   cns  String   subjectAlts                               build      connectionManager   new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager socketFactoryRegistry     clientConfig property ApacheClientProperties CONNECTION MANAGER  connectionManager     return ClientBuilder newClient clientConfig

This code will only ever be run against test servers so I don t want to go to the hassle of adding new trusted certs each time we set up a new test server   This is the kind of code that will eventually find its way in production  if not from you  someone else who s reading this question will copy and paste the insecure trust managers that have been suggested into their applications   It s just so easy to forget to remove this sort of code when you have a deadline  since it doesn t show up as a problem  If you re worried about having to add new certificates every time you have a test server  create your own little CA  issue all the certificates for the test servers using that CA and import this CA certificate into your client trust store   Even if you don t deal with things like online certificate revocation in a local environment  this is certainly better than using a trust manager that lets anything through   There are tools to help you do this  for example TinyCA or XCA

Okay  I d like to just add my class only because there might be some dev out there in the future that wants to connect to a Netbackup server  or something similar  and do stuff from Java while ignoring the SSL cert  This worked for me and we use windows active directory for auth to the Netbackup server   public static void main String   args  throws Exception       SSLContext sslcontext   null      try           sslcontext   SSLContext getInstance  TLS          catch  NoSuchAlgorithmException ex            Logger getLogger main class getName    log Level SEVERE  null  ex             try           sslcontext init null  new TrustManager   new X509TrustManager                 public X509Certificate   getAcceptedIssuers                     return new X509Certificate 0                              Override             public void checkClientTrusted X509Certificate   xcs  String string  throws CertificateException                     throw new UnsupportedOperationException  Not supported yet       To change body of generated methods  choose Tools   Templates                              Override             public void checkServerTrusted X509Certificate   xcs  String string  throws CertificateException                     throw new UnsupportedOperationException  Not supported yet       To change body of generated methods  choose Tools   Templates                            new java security SecureRandom           catch  KeyManagementException ex            Logger getLogger main class getName    log Level SEVERE  null  ex               HttpAuthenticationFeature feature   HttpAuthenticationFeature basicBuilder   credentials username  password  build        ClientConfig clientConfig   new ClientConfig          clientConfig register feature       Client client   ClientBuilder newBuilder   withConfig clientConfig               sslContext sslcontext               hostnameVerifier  s1  s2  - gt  true               build           String the url    https   the server 1556 netbackup security cacert       String the token                String the url    https   the server 1556 netbackup login           WebTarget webTarget   client target the url            Invocation Builder invocationBuilder   webTarget request MediaType APPLICATION JSON           String jsonString   new JSONObject                    put  domainType    NT                    put  domainName    XX                    put  userName    the username                    put  password    the password   toString            System out println jsonString           Response response   invocationBuilder post Entity json jsonString            String data   response readEntity String class           JSONObject jo   new JSONObject data           the token   jo getString  token            System out println  token is     the token                        String the url    https   the server 1556 netbackup admin jobs 1122012     job id 1122012 is an example         WebTarget webTarget   client target the url           Invocation Builder invocationBuilder   webTarget request MediaType APPLICATION JSON  header HttpHeaders AUTHORIZATION  the token  header HttpHeaders ACCEPT   application vnd netbackup json version 1 0            Response response   invocationBuilder get            System out println  response status     response getStatus             String data   response readEntity String class             JSONObject jo   new JSONObject data           System out println data             I know it can be considered off-topic  but I bet the dev that tries to connect to a Netbackup server will probably end up here  By the way many thanks to all the answers in this question  The spec I m talking about is here and their code samples are  currently  missing a Java example      This is of course unsafe since we ignore the cert
