[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3331) JacORB SSL config parameters should use enumeration instead of values encoded in integers

[Dimitris Andreadis (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3331?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12659899#comment-12659899 ] 

Dimitris Andreadis commented on AS7-3331:
-----------------------------------------

AFAIR the values are essentially bits ORed together and used when negotiating the security level. So either you need string descriptions that cover all usuable combinations, or provide for a syntax that supports the OR operator (|).

So, if we just have those 2 bits that can be configured this would work: None, EstablishTrustInTarget, EstablishTrustInClient, MutualAuth would work. I don't remember if there are more bits to be configured/more combinations allowed, probably not.

> The JacORB SSL settings use a fairly cryptic way to express something that would be better represented as a string with 4 allowed values.
> From the description:
> {noformat}client-supports:	Value that indicates the client SSL supported parameters
>   (EstablishTrustInTarget=20,EstablishTrustInClient=40,MutualAuth=60).
> client-requires:	Value that indicates the client SSL required parameters
>   (EstablishTrustInTarget=20,EstablishTrustInClient=40,MutualAuth=60).
> server-supports:	Value that indicates the server SSL supported parameters
>   (EstablishTrustInTarget=20,EstablishTrustInClient=40,MutualAuth=60).
> server-requires:	Value that indicates the server SSL required parameters
>   (EstablishTrustInTarget=20,EstablishTrustInClient=40,MutualAuth=60).{noformat}
