TrustManager

The configuration of a Java Secure Socket Extension TrustManager to manage trust material (typically X.509 public key certificates) for IG. The configuration references the keystore that holds the trust material.

When IG acts as a client, it uses a TrustManager to verify that the server is trusted. When IG acts as a server, it uses a TrustManager to verify that the client is trusted.

Usage

{
    "name": string,
    "type": "TrustManager",
    "config": {
      "keystore": KeyStore reference,
      "alg": string
    }
}

Properties

"keystore": KeyStore reference, required

The KeyStore that references the store for key certificates. When keystore is used in a KeyManager, it queries for private keys; when keystore is used in a TrustManager, it queries for certificates.

Provide either the name of the KeyStore object defined in the heap, or an inline KeyStore configuration object.

In web container mode, when ClientHandler or ReverseProxyHandler use keystore, the keystore can be different to that used by the web container.

See also "KeyStore".

"alg" string, optional

The certificate algorithm to use.

Default: the default for the platform, such as SunX509.

Example

The following example configures a trust manager that depends on a KeyStore configuration. This configuration uses the default certificate algorithm:

{
  "name": "MyTrustManager",
  "type": "TrustManager",
  "config": {
    "keystore": {
      "type": "KeyStore",
      "config": {
        "url": "file://${env['HOME']}/keystore.jks",
        "passwordSecretId": "${system['keypass']}",
        "secretsProvider": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore"
      }
    }
  }
}
