Https Connection Android

Question

I am doing a https post and I m getting an exception of ssl exception Not trusted server certificate  If i do normal http it is working perfectly fine  Do I have to accept the server certificate somehow

You can also look at my blog article  very similar to crazybobs   This solution also doesn t compromise certificate checking and explains how to add the trusted certs in your own keystore   http   blog antoine li index php 2010 10 android-trusting-ssl-certificates

If you are using a StartSSL or Thawte certificate  it will fail for Froyo and older versions  You can use a newer version s CAcert repository instead of trusting every certificate

Just use this method as your HTTPClient   public static  HttpClient getNewHttpClient         try           KeyStore trustStore   KeyStore getInstance KeyStore getDefaultType             trustStore load null  null            SSLSocketFactory sf   new MySSLSocketFactory trustStore           sf setHostnameVerifier SSLSocketFactory ALLOW ALL HOSTNAME VERIFIER            HttpParams params   new BasicHttpParams            HttpProtocolParams setVersion params  HttpVersion HTTP 1 1           HttpProtocolParams setContentCharset params  HTTP UTF 8            SchemeRegistry registry   new SchemeRegistry            registry register new Scheme  http   PlainSocketFactory getSocketFactory    80            registry register new Scheme  https   sf  443             ClientConnectionManager ccm   new ThreadSafeClientConnManager params  registry            return new DefaultHttpClient ccm  params         catch  Exception e            return new DefaultHttpClient

None of these worked for me  aggravated by the Thawte bug as well   Eventually I got it fixed with Self-signed SSL acceptance on Android and Custom SSL handling stopped working on Android 2 2 FroYo

While trying to answer this question I found a better tutorial   With it you don t have to compromise the certificate check   http   blog crazybob org 2010 02 android-trusting-ssl-certificates html   I did not write this but thanks to Bob Lee for the work

I m making a guess  but if you want an actual handshake to occur  you have to let android know of your certificate   If you want to just accept no matter what  then use this pseudo-code to get what you need with the Apache HTTP Client   SchemeRegistry schemeRegistry   new SchemeRegistry      schemeRegistry register  new Scheme   http       PlainSocketFactory getSocketFactory     80    schemeRegistry register  new Scheme   https       new CustomSSLSocketFactory     443     ThreadSafeClientConnManager cm   new ThreadSafeClientConnManager       params  schemeRegistry     return new DefaultHttpClient  cm  params     CustomSSLSocketFactory   public class CustomSSLSocketFactory extends org apache http conn ssl SSLSocketFactory   private SSLSocketFactory FACTORY   HttpsURLConnection getDefaultSSLSocketFactory      public CustomSSLSocketFactory              super null       try                   SSLContext context   SSLContext getInstance   TLS            TrustManager   tm   new TrustManager     new FullX509TrustManager               context init  null  tm  new SecureRandom               FACTORY   context getSocketFactory                   catch  Exception e                    e printStackTrace                     public Socket createSocket   throws IOException       return FACTORY createSocket           TODO  add other methods like createSocket   and getDefaultCipherSuites        Hint  they all just make a call to member FACTORY      FullX509TrustManager is a class that implements javax net ssl X509TrustManager  yet none of the methods actually perform any work  get a sample here   Good Luck

For some reason the solution mentioned for httpClient above didn t worked for me  At the end I was able to make it work by correctly overriding the method when implementing the custom SSLSocketFactory class    Override public Socket createSocket Socket socket  String host  int port  boolean autoClose                                 throws IOException  UnknownHostException            return sslFactory createSocket socket  host  port  autoClose       Override public Socket createSocket   throws IOException       return sslFactory createSocket        This is how it worked perfectly for me  You can see the full custom class and implementing on the following thread  http   blog syedgakbar com 2012 07 21 android-https-and-not-trusted-server-certificate-error

I don t know about the Android specifics for ssl certificates  but it would make sense that Android won t accept a self signed ssl certificate off the bat  I found this post from android forums which seems to be addressing the same issue  http   androidforums com android-applications 950-imap-self-signed-ssl-certificates html

http   madurangasblogs blogspot in 2013 08 avoiding-javaxnetsslsslpeerunverifiedex html  Courtesy Maduranga   When developing an application that uses https  your test server doesn t have a valid SSL certificate  Or sometimes the web site is using a self-signed certificate or the web site is using free SSL certificate  So if you try to connect to the server using Apache HttpClient  you will get a exception telling that the  peer not authenticated   Though it is not a good practice to trust all the certificates in a production software  you may have to do so according to the situation  This solution resolves the exception caused by  peer not authenticated    But before we go to the solution  I must warn you that this is not a good idea for a production application  This will violate the purpose of using a security certificate  So unless you have a good reason or if you are sure that this will not cause any problem  don t use this solution   Normally you create a HttpClient like this   HttpClient httpclient   new DefaultHttpClient     But you have to change the way you create the HttpClient   First you have to create a class extending org apache http conn ssl SSLSocketFactory   import org apache http conn ssl SSLSocketFactory  import java io IOException  import java net Socket  import java net UnknownHostException  import java security KeyManagementException  import java security KeyStore  import java security KeyStoreException  import java security NoSuchAlgorithmException  import java security UnrecoverableKeyException  import java security cert CertificateException  import java security cert X509Certificate   import javax net ssl SSLContext  import javax net ssl TrustManager  import javax net ssl X509TrustManager   public class MySSLSocketFactory extends SSLSocketFactory            SSLContext sslContext   SSLContext getInstance  TLS         public MySSLSocketFactory KeyStore truststore  throws NoSuchAlgorithmException  KeyManagementException  KeyStoreException  UnrecoverableKeyException           super truststore            TrustManager tm   new X509TrustManager                 public void checkClientTrusted X509Certificate   chain  String authType  throws CertificateException                              public void checkServerTrusted X509Certificate   chain  String authType  throws CertificateException                              public X509Certificate   getAcceptedIssuers                     return null                                    sslContext init null  new TrustManager     tm    null               Override     public Socket createSocket Socket socket  String host  int port  boolean autoClose  throws IOException  UnknownHostException           return sslContext getSocketFactory   createSocket socket  host  port  autoClose               Override     public Socket createSocket   throws IOException           return sslContext getSocketFactory   createSocket              Then create a method like this   public HttpClient getNewHttpClient          try            KeyStore trustStore   KeyStore getInstance KeyStore getDefaultType              trustStore load null  null             SSLSocketFactory sf   new MySSLSocketFactory trustStore            sf setHostnameVerifier SSLSocketFactory ALLOW ALL HOSTNAME VERIFIER             HttpParams params   new BasicHttpParams             HttpProtocolParams setVersion params  HttpVersion HTTP 1 1            HttpProtocolParams setContentCharset params  HTTP UTF 8             SchemeRegistry registry   new SchemeRegistry             registry register new Scheme  http   PlainSocketFactory getSocketFactory    80             registry register new Scheme  https   sf  443              ClientConnectionManager ccm   new ThreadSafeClientConnManager params  registry             return new DefaultHttpClient ccm  params          catch  Exception e             return new DefaultHttpClient               Then you can create the HttpClient   HttpClient httpclient   getNewHttpClient     If you are trying to send a post request to a login page the rest of the code would be like this   private URI url   new URI  url of the action of the form    HttpPost httppost    new HttpPost url   List lt NameValuePair gt  nameValuePairs   new ArrayList lt NameValuePair gt       nameValuePairs add new BasicNameValuePair  username    user       nameValuePairs add new BasicNameValuePair  password    password     try       httppost setEntity new UrlEncodedFormEntity nameValuePairs        HttpResponse response   httpclient execute httppost       HttpEntity entity   response getEntity        InputStream is   entity getContent      catch  UnsupportedEncodingException e           TODO Auto-generated catch block     e printStackTrace      catch  ClientProtocolException e           TODO Auto-generated catch block     e printStackTrace      catch  IOException e           TODO Auto-generated catch block     e printStackTrace        You get the html page to the InputStream  Then you can do whatever you want with the returned html page   But here you will face a problem  If you want to manage a session using cookies  you will not be able to do it with this method  If you want to get the cookies  you will have to do it via a browser  Then only you will receive cookies
