X509KeyManager (Java SE 9 & JDK 9 ) (original) (raw)

All Superinterfaces:
[KeyManager](../../../javax/net/ssl/KeyManager.html "interface in javax.net.ssl")
All Known Implementing Classes:
[X509ExtendedKeyManager](../../../javax/net/ssl/X509ExtendedKeyManager.html "class in javax.net.ssl")

public interface X509KeyManager
extends KeyManager
Instances of this interface manage which X509 certificate-based key pairs are used to authenticate the local side of a secure socket.
During secure socket negotiations, implementations call methods in this interface to:

determine the set of aliases that are available for negotiations based on the criteria presented,
select the best alias based on the criteria presented, and
obtain the corresponding key material for given aliases.
Note: the X509ExtendedKeyManager should be used in favor of this class.
Since:
1.4

Method Detail

 * #### getClientAliases  
 [String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang")[] getClientAliases([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") keyType,  
                           [Principal](../../../java/security/Principal.html "interface in java.security")[] issuers)  
 Get the matching aliases for authenticating the client side of a secure socket given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).  
 Parameters:  
 `keyType` \- the key algorithm type name  
 `issuers` \- the list of acceptable CA issuer subject names, or null if it does not matter which issuers are used.  
 Returns:  
 an array of the matching alias names, or null if there were no matches.  
 * #### chooseClientAlias  
 [String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") chooseClientAlias([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang")[] keyType,  
                          [Principal](../../../java/security/Principal.html "interface in java.security")[] issuers,  
                          [Socket](../../../java/net/Socket.html "class in java.net") socket)  
 Choose an alias to authenticate the client side of a secure socket given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).  
 Parameters:  
 `keyType` \- the key algorithm type name(s), ordered with the most-preferred key type first.  
 `issuers` \- the list of acceptable CA issuer subject names or null if it does not matter which issuers are used.  
 `socket` \- the socket to be used for this connection. This parameter can be null, which indicates that implementations are free to select an alias applicable to any socket.  
 Returns:  
 the alias name for the desired key, or null if there are no matches.  
 * #### getServerAliases  
 [String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang")[] getServerAliases([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") keyType,  
                           [Principal](../../../java/security/Principal.html "interface in java.security")[] issuers)  
 Get the matching aliases for authenticating the server side of a secure socket given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).  
 Parameters:  
 `keyType` \- the key algorithm type name  
 `issuers` \- the list of acceptable CA issuer subject names or null if it does not matter which issuers are used.  
 Returns:  
 an array of the matching alias names, or null if there were no matches.  
 * #### chooseServerAlias  
 [String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") chooseServerAlias([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") keyType,  
                          [Principal](../../../java/security/Principal.html "interface in java.security")[] issuers,  
                          [Socket](../../../java/net/Socket.html "class in java.net") socket)  
 Choose an alias to authenticate the server side of a secure socket given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).  
 Parameters:  
 `keyType` \- the key algorithm type name.  
 `issuers` \- the list of acceptable CA issuer subject names or null if it does not matter which issuers are used.  
 `socket` \- the socket to be used for this connection. This parameter can be null, which indicates that implementations are free to select an alias applicable to any socket.  
 Returns:  
 the alias name for the desired key, or null if there are no matches.  
 * #### getCertificateChain  
 [X509Certificate](../../../java/security/cert/X509Certificate.html "class in java.security.cert")[] getCertificateChain([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") alias)  
 Returns the certificate chain associated with the given alias.  
 Parameters:  
 `alias` \- the alias name  
 Returns:  
 the certificate chain (ordered with the user's certificate first and the root certificate authority last), or null if the alias can't be found.
