Hello,

Need some help plz. I am able to connect to https://localhost:8443 on my JBoss. My problem now is certifcates etc.

Here is the contents of my keystore. It has also got a self issued certificate contained in it.

E:\SSL\keys>keytool -list -v -keystore localhost.keystore
Enter keystore password: localhost

Keystore type: jks
Keystore provider: SUN

Your keystore contains 1 entry

I only need to make a ssl connection based on some boolean.
So I dont need no client side authetication. The servlet will
just parse some XML for details and store it in the DB.

Meanwhile I have a little Java client that just makes a URL connection to https://localhost:8443 and i keep getting
the following error java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be ( see attached logs ). Is their
something I should be checking for. ??

Here is my code:-


Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider()); System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
"com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol"); System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl");
URL url = new URL("https", "localhost", 8443, "");
BufferedReader in =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
String inputLine;

while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);

in.close();
