Cyrille Le Clerc commented on CXF-2688:
---------------------------------------
I am very sorry for this trouble. The reasons I pushed this feature is that I
saw the "trust all certs" work was started in the code, I knew to [Jakarta
Commons Http Client
EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory.java|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpcomponents/oac.hc3x/trunk/src/contrib/org/apache/commons/httpclient/contrib/ssl/EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory.java?view=markup]
and I saw many pains on projects due to self signed certificates for dev
environments.
As an intermediate solution between the silent implementation I pushed and the
complete removal, I am looking at a solution that would write a detailed
warning log message each time an untrusted certificate is processed.
I am looking at the SSL APIs to see how the default trust manager is
instantiated if none has been provided. As all the JSSE code's documentation is
limited due to export restrictions, it may take may few hours.

> CXF client (JAXWS & JAXRS) for HTTPS calls currently only allows to disable
> hostname verification ({{<http-conf:tlsClientParameters disableCNCheck="true"
> />}}) but does not allow to disable X509 certificates checking.
> Due to this, it can be painful to invoke services with self-signed
> certificates on non-production environments (see sample stacktrace below).
> Here is a proposal to disable all X509 certificates in CXF (JAXWS & JAXRS)
> clients :
> * Add boolean attribute {{trustAllCertificates}} to
> {{<http-conf:tlsClientParameters ... />}},
> * In the {{HTTPConduit}}, if {{trustAllCertificates="true"}}, the
> {{HttpsURLConnectionFactory}} will use an 'accept all certificates'
> {{javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager}} and an 'accept all'
> {{javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier}}.
> *Note* : this proposal adds an attribute {{trustAllCertificates}} to the
> {{TLSClientParametersType}} complex type and thus *this proposal requires to
> publish a new 'backward compatible'
> [http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/security.xsd]*.
> Configuration sample enabling 'trustAllCertificates' to invoke an HTTPS
> service:
> {code:xml}
> <jaxws:client id="helloWorldServiceClient"
> serviceClass="com.example.HelloWorldService"
> address="https://example.com/services/helloWorldService";>
> </jaxws:client>
> <http-conf:conduit
> name="{http://example.com/}HelloWorldServicePort.http-conduit";>
> <!-- trust all certificates (self signed certificates, etc) -->
> <http-conf:tlsClientParameters trustAllCertificates="true" />
>
> <http-conf:authorization>
> <security:UserName>my-user-name</security:UserName>
> <security:Password>my-password</security:Password>
> </http-conf:authorization>
> </http-conf:conduit>
> {code}
