Class JSSSocketFactory

java.lang.Object
netscape.ldap.factory.JSSSocketFactory
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, LDAPSocketFactory, LDAPTLSSocketFactory

public class JSSSocketFactory extends Object implements Serializable, LDAPTLSSocketFactory
Creates an SSL socket connection to a server, using the Netscape/Mozilla JSS package. This class implements the LDAPSocketFactory interface.

By default, the factory uses "secmod.db", "key*.db" and "cert*.db" databases in the current directory. If you need to override this default setting, then you should use the constructor JSSSocketFactory(certdbDir).

      public JSSSocketFactory() throws LDAPException
      Constructs a new JSSSocketFactory, initializing the JSS security system if it has not already been initialized.

      The current directory is assumed to be the certificate database directory.

      Throws:
      LDAPException - on initialization error

      public JSSSocketFactory(String certdbDir) throws LDAPException
      Constructs a new JSSSocketFactory, initializing the JSS security system if it has not already been initialized.
      Parameters:
      certdbDir - The full path, relative or absolute, of the certificate database directory
      Throws:
      LDAPException - on initialization error
  • Method Details

    • initialize

      public static void initialize(String certdbDir) throws LDAPException
      Initialize the JSS security subsystem.

      This method allows you to override the current directory as the default certificate database directory. The directory is expected to contain secmod.db, key*.db and cert*.db files as the security module database, key database and certificate database respectively.

      The method may be called only once, before the first instance of JSSSocketFactory is created. When creating the first instance, the constructor will automatically initialize the JSS security subsystem using the defaults, unless it is already initialized.

      Parameters:
      certdbDir - The full path, relative or absolute, of the certificate database directory.
      Throws:
      LDAPException - on initialization error
