Connection dialog: Inform users about invalid SSL certificates and allow them to accept/refuse them ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-14768 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14768 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: openshift Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Beta2 Reporter: Andre Dietisheim Priority: Critical Labels: connection_wizard Fix For: 4.2.x In JBIDE-10447 the openshift-java-client disabled the checks for SSL certificates since those prevented users from connecting to internal/private OpenShift instances: {code:title=UrlConnectionHttpClient} private HttpURLConnection createConnection(String userAgent, URL url) throws IOException { HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); if (isHttps(url) && !doSSLChecks) { HttpsURLConnection httpsConnection = (HttpsURLConnection) connection; httpsConnection.setHostnameVerifier(new NoopHostnameVerifier()); setPermissiveSSLSocketFactory(httpsConnection); } private boolean isHttps(URL url) { return "https".equals(url.getProtocol()); } /** * Sets a trust manager that will always trust. * <p> * TODO: dont swallog exceptions and setup things so that they dont disturb other components. */ private void setPermissiveSSLSocketFactory(HttpsURLConnection connection) { try { SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL"); sslContext.init(new KeyManager[0], new TrustManager[] { new PermissiveTrustManager() }, new SecureRandom()); SSLSocketFactory socketFactory = sslContext.getSocketFactory(); ((HttpsURLConnection) connection).setSSLSocketFactory(socketFactory); } catch (KeyManagementException e) { // ignore } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { // ignore } } private static class PermissiveTrustManager implements X509TrustManager { public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() { return null; } public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException { } public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException { } } private static class NoopHostnameVerifier implements HostnameVerifier { public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession sslSession) { return true; } } {code} We should not simply disable these SSL checks but allow users to accept/refuse them via a dialog
