我怎么知道SSL证书链正在验证中？

Question

I just want to see the code where the SSL certificate chain is verified. I have found a method called checkClientTrusted and checkServerTrusted . I don't think they are called anywhere.

For context I found them in the Apache SSLContextBuilder.

I am not sure if the chain verification is done automatically for me somewhere or I am supposed to somehow call checkClientTrusted and checkServerTrusted

You don't have to explicitly call anything to initiate the SSL handshake. HTTP client will do it for you. If you're using spring Resttemplate, apache HTTP client will initiate SSL handshake if the URL is HTTP over SSL (https)

If you want to see the logs, update your log4j or logback to level TRACE on package org.apache

If you want to verify SSL is valid and certificate chains are setup correctly on the server you can use openssl to validate like

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect www.exampledomain.com:443
