How to make 'simple SSL' thru Web Services?

Question

I know how to secure Web Services using certificates. that\'s my client code:

  SSLContext ssl = SSLContext.getInstance(\"SSLv3\");
  KeyManagerFactory kmf =         


        

Answer 1

HTTPS in browsers works because there is a truststore containing SSL certificates on the client. In other words: There are certificates stored on the client side.

If you want HTTPS without any certificate stored on the client side, I think you should have a look at this article, which explains how to turn off the default certificate validation on HTTPS connection.
