JNDI over HTTPS

[triplem]

We are trying to use SSL for the encryption of the communication between JBoss (3.2.3) and our Client. HTTP works fine, but we have some trouble using HTTPS or JNPS.
I get the error Message "javax.naming.NamingException: Failed to retrieve Naming interface " and "Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found". We are using a demo-certificate, and I believe this is not signed. Is there a simple solution for accepting even untrusted certificates?
I found already a solution at http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=62783, but for this, we have to add some new code, and don't want to do this.

We had to add some code...

 System.out.println("Connect HTTPS");
 Properties prop = System.getProperties();

 prop.put("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory");
 prop.put("org.jboss.security.ignoreHttpsHost","true");
 final int newPort = ConsoleMenu.getInt("Enter the port (current:" + 8443 +")", 8443);
 prop.put("java.naming.provider.url","https://"+host+":"+newPort+"/invoker/JNDIFactory");

 // Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
 TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[]{
 new X509TrustManager() {
 public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
 return null;
 }
 public void checkClientTrusted(
 java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
 }
 public void checkServerTrusted(
 java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
 }
 }
 };

 // Install the all-trusting trust manager
 try {
 SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
 sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
 HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
 } catch (Exception e) {
 }

 RefDataProviderHome home;
 try {
 System.err.println("About to connect to JNDI HTTPS");
 InitialContext context = new InitialContext(prop);

 final Object objref = context.lookup("RefDataProviderBean");
 EJBHome anEJBHome = (EJBHome) PortableRemoteObject
 .narrow(objref, RefDataProviderHome.class);
...

Hope this helps!
