Name
X509TrustManager
Synopsis
This
interface is a
TrustManager
for working with X.509 certificates.
Trust managers are used during the handshake phase of SSL connection
to determine whether the authentication credentials presented by the
remote host are trusted. This is usually done on the client-side of
an SSL connection, but may also be done on the server side. Obtain an
X509TrustManager
either by implementing your own
or from a TrustManagerFactory
that was created to
use the “SunX509” algorithm.
Applications do call the methods of this interface themselves;
instead, they simply provide an appropriate
X509TrustManager
object to the
SSLContext
object that is responsible for setting
up SSL connections. When the system needs to determine whether the
authentication credentials presented by the remote host are trusted,
it calls the methods of the trust manager.
