how to implement SSL in Apache CXF client

[nikes]

Hi All,

I have generated CMIS stub classes using Apache CXF framework it works fine.

Now we have a requirement to secure Alfresco server with SSL/HTTPS protocol, which we have implemented in tomcat.

Now when I pass server URL as https://serverip:8443 it gives following message in console

INFO [org.apache.cxf.transport.https.HttpsURLConnectionFactory]: The cipher suite filters have not been configured, falling back to default filters.
INFO [org.apache.cxf.transport.https.HttpsURLConnectionFactory]: The cipher suites have been set to SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5, SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA, TLS_KRB5_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_KRB5_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, TLS_KRB5_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_KRB5_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_MD5, TLS_KRB5_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, TLS_KRB5_WITH_DES_CBC_MD5, TLS_KRB5_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_SHA, TLS_KRB5_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5, TLS_KRB5_EXPORT_WITH_DES_CBC_40_SHA, TLS_KRB5_EXPORT_WITH_DES_CBC_40_MD5.

I am not an expert in webservice part. Can anyone guide what can be done to make it work?
Does it require any change in CMIS WSDL document?

I am using following code example

http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/remote-api/source/sam...






Thanks

Are you using a self signed certificate?
If so, you have to add your server certificate to your trusted Java key store on the client side.

[nikes]

Yes. We are using self-signed certificate.

I imported the certificate in "cacerts" file.
I had to set following runtime properties to make it work.

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "PathTo\\cacerts");
            System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "Password");
            System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "PathTo\\cacerts");
            System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "Password");

I am not sure why password is required when accessing from Java and not from Web Broswer?

Thanks
