I ned a way of refreshing the Tomcat trust store without restarting Tomcat.
I've tried another approach: JioEndpoint initializes its ServerSocket from the JSSESocketFactory created at startup. From this point onwards the JSSESocketFactory (containining the trust store) is never re-initialized. Would it be safe, to reinitialize the JSSESocketFactory from within the JIOEndpoint Acceptor run loop? Currently I do this by calling the destroy() method followed by the start() method. This seems to work, but again I'm concerned about undesireable side effects. I'd appreciate any comment on this. thanks, Mike -----Original Message----- From: Michael Rooz [mailto:mr...@nextnine.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 1:29 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: ssl I agree that in general this would be the preferable way of working with the trust store however using self signed certificates streamlines much better with my application and therefore my preference at this point is to find a proper way of refreshing the trust store in the JSSESocketFactory. I'm still looking for a solution to this...

If your processes allow, you would be better off creating your own (self-signed) root CA, using that to sign client certs and then adding your CA to Tomcat's trust store. That way you can add new client certs without any changes to Tomcat.
