java - path to trustStore - set property doesn t work

Question

I ve setup a self-signed certificate to test an ssl java connection - however  it is refusing to locate the java trustStore  I ve saved copies of it in  Java jre6 lib security in addition to the folder where the classes are compiled to  im using netbeans  and also to  java jre6 bin none of the above appears to work  because when i run the following - trustStore   null   public class ShowTrustStore        public static void main String   args             System setProperty  javax net ssl keyStore    keystore jks            System setProperty  javax net ssl trustStrore    cacerts jks            System setProperty  javax net ssl keyStorePassword    changeit               String trustStore   System getProperty  javax net ssl trustStore            if  trustStore    null                System out println  javax net ssl trustStore is not defined              else               System out println  javax net ssl trustStore       trustStore                       how to set the path correctly             UPDATE             Using the getFile   method and some more debug data   package ssltest   public class Main        public static void main String   args               System setProperty  javax net ssl keyStore     keystore jks              System setProperty  javax net ssl trustStrore     java home cacerts jks              System setProperty  javax net ssl keyStorePassword    changeit              System setProperty  javax net ssl trustStorePassword    changeit             try               Main class getResource  trustStore jks   getFile              catch  Exception e                e printStackTrace                       String trustStore   System getProperty  javax net ssl trustStore             if  trustStore    null                String storeLoc              storeLoc   System getProperty  java class path                System out println  classpath      storeLoc                      trustStore   System getProperty  javax net ssl trustStore            if  trustStore    null                System out println  javax net ssl trustStore is not defined              else               System out println  javax net ssl trustStore       trustStore                       run       java lang NullPointerException     classpath  C  Users Main Documents NetBeansProjects sslTest build classes C  Users Main Documents NetBeansProjects sslTest src             at ssltest Main main Main java 15      javax net ssl trustStore is not defined     BUILD SUCCESSFUL  total time  0 seconds

Both  -Djavax net ssl trustStore path to trustStore jks   and  System setProperty  javax net ssl trustStore    cacerts jks      do the same thing and have no difference working wise  In your case you just have a typo  You have misspelled trustStore in javax net ssl trustStore

Alternatively  if using javax net ssl trustStore for specifying the location of your truststore does not work   as it did in my case for two way authentication    you can also use SSLContextBuilder as shown in the example below  This example also includes how to create a httpclient as well to show how the SSL builder would work   SSLContextBuilder sslcontextbuilder   SSLContexts custom     sslcontextbuilder loadTrustMaterial              new File  C   path to  truststore jks      path to jks file              password  toCharArray      enters in the truststore password for use             new TrustSelfSignedStrategy     will trust own CA and all self-signed certs                 SSLContext sslcontext   sslcontextbuilder build      load trust store  SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslsockfac   new SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslcontext new String      TLSv1    null SSLConnectionSocketFactory getDefaultHostnameVerifier      CloseableHttpClient httpclient   HttpClients custom   setSSLSocketFactory sslsockfac  build      sets up a httpclient for use with ssl socket factory     try            HttpGet httpget   new HttpGet  https   localhost 8443      I had a tomcat server running on localhost which required the client to have their trust cert          System out println  Executing request     httpget getRequestLine              CloseableHttpResponse response   httpclient execute httpget           try               HttpEntity entity   response getEntity                 System out println  ----------------------------------------                System out println response getStatusLine                  EntityUtils consume entity             finally               response close                    finally           httpclient close

Looks like you have a typo --  trustStrore  should be  trustStore   i e   System setProperty  javax net ssl trustStrore    cacerts jks      should be   System setProperty  javax net ssl trustStore    cacerts jks

User · Answer

You have a typo - it is trustStore   Apart from setting the variables with System setProperty      you can also use  -Djavax net ssl keyStore path to keystore jks
