How do you disable certificate validation in JAX-WS client using javax.xml.ws.Service
?
I tried creating an all-trusting TrustManager in the SSLSocketFactory and tried to bind it with BindingProvider
SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
Map<String, Object> ctxt = ((BindingProvider) wsport ).getRequestContext();
ctxt.put(JAXWSProperties.SSL_SOCKET_FACTORY, sc.getSocketFactory());
but I still getting Exception: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
But it works when I just use
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
Or is there a way to make javax.xml.ws.Service
use the HttpsURLConnection
that I created?
The truth can be found from Erik Wramner's blog here http://erikwramner.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/trust-self-signed-ssl-certificates-and-skip-host-name-verification-with-jax-ws
I include the full solution where Apache CXF is used to make SOAP web service requests to a self-signed SharePoint https service:
NaiveSSLHelper.java
SoapTester.java
Here is another example with respect to JDK7 and glassfish. Please pay attention for Nikolay Smirnov's comment as well. I use jdk 7 and glassfish 3.1.2. In this environment the suggested solution works perfect if the server deal with a self signed cerfificate.
I found a solution here: http://schrepfler.blogspot.com.br/2009/06/relaxing-ssl-validation-for-jaxws.html
I'm using that solution calling the two static methods on a static block at the main class, like this:
Hope this helps
EDIT: As David J. Liszewski pointed out, this breaks SSL/TLS for all connections from this JVM. So, keep that in mind.
