收到HANDSHAKE_FAILURE警报

Question

I am writing a Java client (on weblogic 10.3) to invoke a secure web service. I have been provided with a client certificate which I have installed in cacerts, DemoIdentity.jks and DemoTrust,jks In my weblogic I have set up keystore as DemoIdentity and DemoTrust. In weblogic console I have set "Two Way Client Cert Behavior:" as "Client Certs requested but not enforced". and for "SSL Listen Port enabled:" I have checked the checkbox.

I get the below exception while trying to access the web service:

] FaultActor [null] Detail [<detail><bea_fault:stacktrace xmlns:bea_fault="http:

However in firefox, i have added the certificate, and when i view the wsdl of the web service.It prompts me with the certificate and after i click ok, it renders the wsdl file for secure web service. Anybody has idea what should I do to make the client working using Java?

Answer 1

I think that the real problem is that Weblogic is not using standard Sun HTTPS implementation provided by JDK, but rather uses its own, as apparent on this line:

at weblogic.net.http.SOAPHttpsURLConnection.getInputStream(SOAPHttpsURLConnection.java:37)

The standard Sun implementation class is called javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection .

As a result, the certificate policy is different inside Weblogic than in a standalone Java program. I just discovered this debugging a similar problem.

This page advises to use a Sun implementation instead of Weblogic: http://webtech-kapil.blogspot.com/2010/06/javalangclasscastexception.html

They advice to start WL with the following flag:

-DUseSunHttpHandler=true

which will use standard Sun's implementation of SSL. However, I personally have not tried this yet.

Thanks,

Igor

Answer 2

You have likely not imported your certificate and key correctly. You can test your keystore by adding the following to a JUnit or something similar:

static {
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", "pkcs12"); // or whatever
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "c:/folder/mycert.p12");
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "mypassword");
        System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl");
}

The javax.net.debug property set to ssl will print your certificate chain and all other SSL logging, which can be helpful. You'll want to add the certificate, etc. to your application container like you already have in production.

Try debugging with SSL and see what comes of that. More than likely you just need to configure weblogic correctly. Check to see if there are custom SSL endpoint configurations (ie when URI is /test/test use keyStore XYZ).
