如何在ftp4j库中使用SSL

Question

I'm currently stuck as I find the documentation on ftp4j very light. According to this: Document

I can set up the library to connect using SSL certificates. The problem I'm having is figuring out how the library will know which SSL certificate to accept and which not(In case of an impostor). Any helps? Thanks!

Edit : I want to know how to import the SSL certificate and make the library only connect to an specific server with the specific SSL certificate.

Answer 1

You can use Sun's InstallCert.java to get the certificate you want to accept saved in a separate store. Then use this separate store when you setup your FTPClient.

I included a version of InstallCert.java below since it's harder and harder to find on the Internet after Oracle took over...

            tm.checkServerTrusted(chain, authType);
        }

}

That code makes a copy of the certificates supplied by the JRE before adding the new certificate you supply. If you don't want that, but instead only store your certificate, you will need to remove this part:

if (file.isFile() == false) {
        char SEP = File.separatorChar;
        File dir = new File(System.getProperty("java.home") + SEP
                + "lib" + SEP + "security");
        file = new File(dir, "jssecacerts");
        if (file.isFile() == false) {
            file = new File(dir, "cacerts");
        }
    }

Now when you have a file containing your certificate you can use this to create a SSLSocketFactory that you supply to the FTPClient.

You can create some kind of certificate manager like this:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.security.KeyStore;
import java.security.cert.CertificateException;
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate;

import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManager;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManagerFactory;
import javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager;

public class CertManager {

private static final char[] passphrase = "changeit".toCharArray();
private String rootPath;
private SSLSocketFactory factory;
private SavingTrustManager trustManager;
private KeyStore keyStore;


/**
 * Creates a CertManager.
 * @param rootPath Path to directory where the file 'jssecacerts' is located.
 */
public CertManager(String rootPath){
    this.rootPath = rootPath;       
}

/**
 * Gets a SSLSocketFactory with the trusted certs.
 * @return
 * @throws Exception
 */
public SSLSocketFactory getSSLSocketFactory() throws Exception {
    //Load trusted certs
    File file = new File(rootPath+"jssecacerts");

    System.out.println("Loading KeyStore " + file + "...");
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
    keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
    keyStore.load(in, passphrase);
    in.close();

    //Use these certs 
    SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
    TrustManagerFactory tmf =
        TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
    tmf.init(keyStore);
    X509TrustManager defaultTrustManager = (X509TrustManager)tmf.getTrustManagers()[0];
    trustManager = new SavingTrustManager(defaultTrustManager);
    context.init(null, new TrustManager[] {trustManager}, null);
    factory = context.getSocketFactory();
    return factory;
}

private static class SavingTrustManager implements X509TrustManager {

    private final X509TrustManager tm;
    private X509Certificate[] chain;

    SavingTrustManager(X509TrustManager tm) {
        this.tm = tm;
    }

    public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {         
        return tm.getAcceptedIssuers();
    }

    public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType)
    throws CertificateException {
        this.chain = chain;
        tm.checkClientTrusted(chain, authType);
    }

    public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType)
    throws CertificateException {
        this.chain = chain;
        tm.checkServerTrusted(chain, authType);
    }
}
}

Use your certificate manager to get the SSLSocketFactory that you supply to the FTPClient:

...
FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
CertManager certMan = new CertManager("");
SSLSocketFactory sslSocketFactory = null;
try{
    sslSocketFactory = certMan.getSSLSocketFactory();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
client.setSSLSocketFactory(sslSocketFactory);
client.setSecurity(FTPClient.SECURITY_FTPS); // or client.setSecurity(FTPClient.SECURITY_FTPES);
...
