> From Hal Hildebrand:
> Attached are the sources to allow a new protocol stack which uses SSL over
> NIO.  This protocol stack element provides security and authentication
> (using client side authentication) for a JGroups TCP stack using NIO.
> This required two minor modifications in the ConnectionTableNIO class.
> These modifications allow one to subclass to create a connection table which
> uses SSL for the connections.  Finally, there is a new protocol stack
> element, SSL_NIO, which one can add to a stack to make use of it.
> Regardless of whether this makes it into the codeline of JGroups, it would
> be nice to have the changes to ConnectionTableNIO make it into the mainline,
> as I currently have to overwrite the original class to easily implement this
> - the last thing I want to do is fork ConnectionTableNIO ;)  I'd rather just
> subclass it.  The mods are simple and innocuous (marked with "HSH").
> Right now, the SSL_NIO needs to be configured with an SSLSocketFactory.  I
> didn't bother with integrating with the normal JGroups mechanism using
> properties from the configuration because I consider it inherently insecure
> to ensconce my passwords in configuration files.  But the changes to enable
> this are straight forward.  Currently, to configure the factory for the
> protocol layer, do something like the following before connecting your
> channel:
>     // Construct your Jchannel
>     JChannel jchannel = ...
>     //  Access your protocol stack
>     ProtocolStack protocolStack = jchannel.getProtocolStack();
>     // Retrieve the SSL_NIO protocol layer
>     SSL_NIO protocol = (SSL_NIO) protocolStack.findProtocol("SSL_NIO");
>     
>     // Create your SSLSocketFactory
>     SSLSocketFactory socketFactory = ....
>     // Set up the protocol
>     protocol. SetSocketFactory(socketFactory);
>     // Connect your channel
>     jchannel.connnect("my-group");
> Cheers.
