How to set TLS version on apache HttpClient

Question

How can I change the supported TLS versions on my HttpClient   I m doing   SSLContext sslContext   SSLContext getInstance  TLSv1 1    sslContext init      keymanagers toArray new KeyManager keymanagers size          null      null    SSLSocketFactory socketFactory   new SSLSocketFactory sslContext  new String    TLSv1 1    null  null   Scheme scheme   new Scheme  https   443  socketFactory   SchemeRegistry schemeRegistry   new SchemeRegistry    schemeRegistry register scheme   BasicClientConnectionManager cm   new BasicClientConnectionManager schemeRegistry   httpClient   new DefaultHttpClient cm     But when I check the created socket  it still says the supported protocols are TLSv1 0  TLSv1 1 and TLSv1 2   In reality I just want it to stop using TLSv1 2  for this specific HttpClient

If you are using httpclient 4 2  then you need to write a small bit of extra code  I wanted to be able to customize both the  TLS enabled protocols   e g  TLSv1 1 specifically  and neither TLSv1 nor TLSv1 2  as well as the cipher suites   public class CustomizedSSLSocketFactory     extends SSLSocketFactory       private String    tlsProtocols      private String    tlsCipherSuites       public CustomizedSSLSocketFactory SSLContext sslContext                                        X509HostnameVerifier hostnameVerifier                                        String   tlsProtocols                                        String   cipherSuites                super sslContext  hostnameVerifier            if null    tlsProtocols               tlsProtocols   tlsProtocols          if null    cipherSuites               tlsCipherSuites   cipherSuites              Override     protected void prepareSocket SSLSocket socket                   Enforce client-specified protocols or cipher suites         if null     tlsProtocols              socket setEnabledProtocols  tlsProtocols            if null     tlsCipherSuites              socket setEnabledCipherSuites  tlsCipherSuites             Then       SSLContext sslContext   SSLContext getInstance  TLS         sslContext init null  getTrustManagers    new SecureRandom             NOTE  not javax net SSLSocketFactory     SSLSocketFactory sf   new CustomizedSSLSocketFactory sslContext                                                           null                                                            TLS protocols                                                             TLS cipher suites         Scheme httpsScheme   new Scheme  https   443  sf       SchemeRegistry schemeRegistry   new SchemeRegistry        schemeRegistry register httpsScheme        ConnectionManager cm   new BasicClientConnectionManager schemeRegistry        HttpClient client   new DefaultHttpClient cmgr             You may be able to do this with slightly less code  but I mostly copy pasted from a custom component where it made sense to build-up the objects in the way shown above

For HttpClient-4 1 using TLSv1 2  code would go something like this           SSLContext sslContext   SSLContext getInstance  TLSv1 2            sslContext init null  null  new SecureRandom             SSLSocketFactory sf   new SSLSocketFactory sslContext           Scheme httpsScheme   new Scheme  https   443  sf           SchemeRegistry schemeRegistry   new SchemeRegistry            schemeRegistry register httpsScheme           ClientConnectionManager cm    new        SingleClientConnManager schemeRegistry           HttpClient client   new DefaultHttpClient cm              Use client to make the connection and get the results

HttpClient-4 5 Use TLSv1 2  You must code like this      Set the https use TLSv1 2 private static Registry lt ConnectionSocketFactory gt  getRegistry   throws KeyManagementException  NoSuchAlgorithmException       SSLContext sslContext   SSLContexts custom   build        SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslConnectionSocketFactory   new SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslContext              new String    TLSv1 2    null  SSLConnectionSocketFactory getDefaultHostnameVerifier         return RegistryBuilder  lt ConnectionSocketFactory gt create                register  http   PlainConnectionSocketFactory getSocketFactory                 register  https   sslConnectionSocketFactory               build       public static void main String    args        try             Set the https use TLSv1 2         PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager clientConnectionManager   new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager getRegistry             clientConnectionManager setMaxTotal 100           clientConnectionManager setDefaultMaxPerRoute 20           HttpClient client   HttpClients custom   setConnectionManager clientConnectionManager  build              Then you can do   client execute HttpGet or HttpPost         catch  KeyManagementException   NoSuchAlgorithmException e            e printStackTrace

If you have a javax net ssl SSLSocket class reference in your code  you can set the enabled TLS protocols by a call to SSLSocket setEnabledProtocols     import javax net ssl    import java net         Socket socket   SSLSocketFactory getDefault   createSocket        if  socket instanceof SSLSocket           TLSv1 0  gives IllegalArgumentException in Java 8    String   protos     TLSv1 2    TLSv1 1        SSLSocket socket  setEnabledProtocols protos

You could just specify the following property -Dhttps protocols TLSv1 1 TLSv1 2 at your server which configures the JVM to specify which TLS protocol version should be used during all https connections from client

Since this only came up hidden in comments  difficult to find as a solution   You can use java -Dhttps protocols TLSv1 TLSv1 1  but you need to use also useSystemProperties    client   HttpClientBuilder create   useSystemProperties      We use this setup in our system now as this enables us to set this only for some usage of the code  In our case we still have some Java 7 running and one API end point disallowed TLSv1  so we use java -Dhttps protocols TLSv1 TLSv1 1 TLSv1 2 to enable current TLS versions  Thanks  jebeaudet for pointing in this direction

Using -Dhttps protocols TLSv1 2 JVM argument didn t work for me  What worked is the following code  RequestConfig Builder requestBuilder   RequestConfig custom      other configuration  for example requestBuilder   requestBuilder setConnectTimeout 1000    SSLContext sslContext   SSLContextBuilder create   useProtocol  TLSv1 2   build     HttpClientBuilder builder   HttpClientBuilder create    builder setDefaultRequestConfig requestBuilder build     builder setProxy new HttpHost  your proxy com   3333      if you have proxy builder setSSLContext sslContext    HttpClient client   builder build      Use the following JVM argument to verify  -Djavax net debug all

The solution is   SSLContext sslContext   SSLContexts custom        useTLS        build     SSLConnectionSocketFactory f   new SSLConnectionSocketFactory      sslContext      new String    TLSv1    TLSv1 1           null      BROWSER COMPATIBLE HOSTNAME VERIFIER    httpClient   HttpClients custom        setSSLSocketFactory f       build      This requires org apache httpcomponents httpclient 4 3 x though
