Use SSL with the UDDI JAXR provider
We can use SSL to encrypt HTTP traffic between the Java API for XML Registries (JAXR) provider for UDDI and the UDDI registry.
Deprecated feature: In WAS v8.0, Java API for XML
Registries (JAX-R) APIs are deprecated. The Java Platform, Enterprise
Edition (Java EE) 6 platform began the deprecation process for JAX-R
because it is based on Universal Description, Discovery and Integration
(UDDI) 2 technology, which is no longer relevant. If the applications use JAX-R, then you might consider using UDDI 3.
depfeat To use SSL, set the JAXR client program as follows.
Procedure
- For the javax.xml.registry.queryManagerURL and javax.xml.registry.lifeCycleManagerURL
connection properties, specify a URL with the protocol https and the appropriate port to use SSL to access the UDDI registry. The default port of the UDDI registry for HTTPS is 9443. Often, only the lifeCycleManager URL, that is, the UDDI Publish API URL, requires
SSL.
- Add a new security provider to the java.security.Security
object, according to the Java Secure Sockets Extension (JSSE) implementation used. If running under the JVM provided in WAS, the JSSE provided by IBM is on the classpath automatically. Use the following code to add the IBM security provider:
java.security.Security.addProvider(new com.ibm.jsse.JSSEProvider());
- Set the javax.net.ssl.trustStore system property to the file name of the client trust store file. The client trust store file is a Java key store (.jks) file and must contain the server certificate of the UDDI registry. To manage key store files, you can use the iKeyman tool.
- Set the javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword system property.
This property is the password used to open the client trust store file.
- Optional: If you use a JVM version that is earlier than the version provided with WAS, you might need to set the java.protocol.handler.pkgs system property to com.ibm.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol.
