java ignore https certificate validation

Question

I want to connect to a https url and ignore the certification on it. But there are several problems. I tried different implementations:

1. http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/javax.net.ssl/trustall.html

With this implementation I got

    java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong:  should be <my.domain.com>

The domain I typed in is my.domain.com

1. I tried to turn of the Hostname validation by adding

     // Create all-trusting host name verifier HostnameVerifier allHostsValid = new HostnameVerifier() { public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) { return true; } }; // Install the all-trusting host verifier HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(allHostsValid); 

As it is there: http://www.nakov.com/blog/2009/07/16/disable-certificate-validation-in-java-ssl-connections/ But I get this exception

I don't know what I could do anymore. I have to ignore the certificate. There is no other option.

Any suggestions? thanks in advance

Answer 1

Ok I found a solution now. It isn't the problem with the certificate ignore. Therefore is this link here usefull.

The reason why the redirects comes is that I have to authentication myself. So I add the class I found under http auth

    static class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
    public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
        // I haven't checked getRequestingScheme() here, since for NTLM
        // and Negotiate, the usrname and password are all the same.
        System.err.println("Feeding username and password for "
                + getRequestingScheme());
        return (new PasswordAuthentication(kuser, kpass.toCharArray()));
    }
}

and add the class via:

    Authenticator.setDefault(new MyAuthenticator());
