[CLOSED] SunX509 TrustManagerFactory not available on AIX

[kevinbeard]

I am trying to connect our JBoss client to a third party's web servers over https. 

So far I've tried the following:

1) Creating an all trusting trust manager in our code

2) Creating a keystore and truststore on the AIX machine where our JBoss client runs and updating run.conf to point to these

I don't get any exceptions but I am getting a null response back from the third party's web service.  But in our log files I get this message

2011-10-03 11:22:30,320 ERROR [org.jboss.remoting.transport.http.HTTPClientInvoker] Error creating SSL Socket Factory for client invoker: Error initializing socket factory SSL context: SunX509 TrustManagerFactory not available

I have confirmed with some debug code that the truststore algorithm is PKIX and the keystore algoritm is IbmX509.

So my question is, why is JBoss/Java still lookling for SunX509?

I am a complete JBoss beginner so sorry if I've got some terminology wrong

Any help with be greatly appreciated.

Our version of Java is:

/usr/java6_64/bin/java -version

java version "1.6.0"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pap6460sr7-20091215_02(SR7))

IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 AIX ppc64-64 jvmap6460sr7-20091214_49398 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)

Which version of JBoss AS is this? What does your https server configuration look like?

[kevinbeard]

We're using JBoss EAP 5.0.

Sadly we don't have access to the third party's https server config. Do you think their config could have a bearing on the issue?

I'm going to close this issue. Although I am still getting the error message, it turns out I can still talk to the web service. There were other bugs in the code stopping me from realising that.
