Question

I have a pkcs12 file. I need to use this to connect to a webpage using https protocol. I came across some code where in order to connect to a secure web page i need to set t

I realise that this article may be outdated but still I would like to ask smithsv to correct his source code, it contains many mistakes, I managed to correct most of them but still don't know what kind of object x509 could be.Here is the source code as I think is should be:

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.security.KeyStore;
import java.security.cert.Certificate;
import java.util.Enumeration;

import javax.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManagerFactory;

public class Connection2 {
    public void connect() {
        /*
         * This is an example to use ONLY p12 file it's not optimazed but it
         * work. The pkcs12 file where generated by OpenSSL by me. Example how
         * to load p12 file and build Trust zone from it... It outputs
         * certificates from p12 file and add good certs to TrustStore
         */
        KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance( "pkcs12" );
        ks.load( new FileInputStream( cert.pfx ), "passwrd".toCharArray() );

        KeyStore jks = KeyStore.getInstance( "JKS" );
        jks.load( null );

        for( Enumeration t = ks.aliases(); t.hasMoreElements(); ) {
            String alias = (String )t.nextElement();
            System.out.println( "@:" + alias );
            if( ks.isKeyEntry( alias ) ) {
                Certificate[] a = ks.getCertificateChain( alias );
                for( int i = 0; i == 0; )
                    jks.setCertificateEntry( x509Cert.getSubjectDN().toString(), x509 );

                System.out.println( ks.getCertificateAlias( x509 ) );
                System.out.println( "ok" );
            }
        }

        System.out.println( "init Stores..." );

        KeyManagerFactory kmf = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance( "SunX509" );
        kmf.init( ks, "c1".toCharArray() );

        TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance( "SunX509" );
        tmf.init( jks );

        SSLContext ctx = SSLContext.getInstance( "TLS" );
        ctx.init( kmf.getKeyManagers(), tmf.getTrustManagers(), null );
    }
}
