I have enabled https in tomcat and have a self-signed certificate for server auth. I have created an http client using Apache httpClient. I have set a trust manager loading the server certificate. The http client can connect with server no problem. To see what is going on I enabled debugging:
System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl");
I saw the following which I can not understand at all:
***
adding as trusted cert:
Subject: CN=Me, OU=MyHouse, O=Home, L=X, ST=X, C=BB
Issuer: CN=Me, OU=MyHouse, O=Home, L=X, ST=X, C=BB
Algorithm: RSA; Serial number: 0x4d72356b
Valid from Sat Mar 05 15:06:51 EET 2011 until Fri Jun 03 16:06:51 EEST 2011
My certificate is displayed and is added to truststore (as I see). Then:
trigger seeding of SecureRandom
done seeding SecureRandom
Here is the part from debugging traces I do not get:
trustStore is: C:Program FilesJavajre6libsecuritycacerts
trustStore type is : jks
trustStore provider is :
init truststore

It seems that it also uses the default java trust store! My question is why does this happen?
In my code I specify explicitly a specific trust-store to use (via truststoremanagers). I was expecting only this to be used. It seems that both my truststore and java's default is being used. Is this how it is supposed to work?
UPDATE:
I tried the following:
System.out.println("TMF No:"+tmf.getTrustManagers().length);
System.out.println("Class is "+tmf.getTrustManagers()[0].getClass().getName());
I thought that I should see 2 trust managers, since 2 keystores (mine and java's default appear to be used).
But the result was only 1 trust manager!
TMF No:1
Class is com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.X509TrustManagerImpl
UPDATE2: As you see in the code bellow I specify my keystore.My expectation is that only this should be used (not this and cacert as well)
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
File trustFile = new File("clientTrustStore.jks");
ks.load(new FileInputStream(trustFile), null);
tmf.init(ks);
sslContext.init(null, tmf.getTrustManagers(),null);
SSLSocketFactory sf = new SSLSocketFactory(sslContext);
sf.setHostnameVerifier(SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
Scheme scheme = new Scheme("https", sf, 443);
client.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(scheme);
httpGet = new HttpGet("https://localhost:8443/myApp");
HttpResponse httpResponse = client.execute(httpGet);
Does not make sense to me.
