Class Overview
Interface for checking if a hostname matches the names stored inside the server's X.509 certificate. Implements javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier, but we don't actually use that interface. Instead we added some methods that take String parameters (instead of javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier's SSLSession). JUnit is a lot easier this way! :-)
We provide the HostnameVerifier.DEFAULT, HostnameVerifier.STRICT, and HostnameVerifier.ALLOW_ALL implementations. But feel free to define your own implementation!
Inspired by Sebastian Hauer's original StrictSSLProtocolSocketFactory in the HttpClient "contrib" repository.
Public Methods
public abstract boolean verify (String host, SSLSession session)
Verifies that the specified hostname is allowed within the specified SSL session.
Parameters
host |
the hostname. |
session |
the SSL session of the connection. |
Returns
true
if the specified hostname is allowed, otherwise false
.
public abstract void verify (String host, String[] cns, String[] subjectAlts)
Checks to see if the supplied hostname matches any of the supplied CNs or "DNS" Subject-Alts. Most implementations only look at the first CN, and ignore any additional CNs. Most implementations do look at all of the "DNS" Subject-Alts. The CNs or Subject-Alts may contain wildcards according to RFC 2818.
Parameters
host |
The hostname to verify. |
cns |
CN fields, in order, as extracted from the X.509 certificate. |
subjectAlts |
Subject-Alt fields of type 2 ("DNS"), as extracted from the X.509 certificate. |
