PKI certs and authentication
843851Jul 30 2002 — edited Jul 31 2002I would appreciate some guidance:
Need to use PKI certificate on ActivCard or GemPlus card.
Already have the hardware readers/cards, and PKI certs on the cards.
Need to use the certificates on a Solaris server to authenticate the client (which is using the Smart Card).
Using a Java application that I have written some code to pop up a GUI that I would like to show me certificates on the card for the user to choose.
How do I generate a server certificate?
Which APIs will enable me to read the certs off the cards?
I see that javax.net.ssl provides the SSLServerSocket and SSLSocket. I want to use just hostname/IP and ports to connect, so I was going to use these sockets to do that connection and make sure the data is protected.
Any guidance is appreciated...
