How to handle invalid SSL certificates with Apache HttpClient?

I know, there are many different questions and so many answers about this problem... But I can't understand...

I have: ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64 + NetBeans6.7.1 installed "as is" from off. rep. I need connecting to some site over the HTTPS. For this I use Apache's HttpClient.

From tutorial I read:

"Once you have JSSE correctly installed, secure HTTP communication over SSL should be as
simple as plain HTTP communication." And some example:

HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
GetMethod httpget = new GetMethod("https://www.verisign.com/"); 
try { 
  httpclient.executeMethod(httpget);
  System.out.println(httpget.getStatusLine());
} finally {
  httpget.releaseConnection();
}

By now, I write this:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

HttpMethod get = new GetMethod("https://mms.nw.ru");
//get.setDoAuthentication(true);
    
try {
    int status = client.executeMethod(get);
    System.out.println(status);

    BufferedInputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(get.getResponseBodyAsStream());
    int r=0;byte[] buf = new byte[10];
    while((r = is.read(buf)) > 0) {
        System.out.write(buf,0,r);
    }

} catch(Exception ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
}

As a result I have a set of errors:

What have I to do to create simplest SSL connection? (Probably without KeyManager and Trust manager etc. while.)

https://mms.nw.ru uses a self-signed certificate that's not in the default trust manager set. To resolve the issue, do one of the following:

• Configure SSLContext with a TrustManager that accepts any certificate (see below).
• Configure SSLContext with an appropriate trust store that includes your certificate.
• Add the certificate for that site to the default Java trust store.

Here's a program that creates a (mostly worthless) SSL Context that accepts any certificate:

import java.net.URL;
import java.security.SecureRandom;
import java.security.cert.CertificateException;
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate;
import javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier;
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
import javax.net.ssl.KeyManager;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLSession;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManager;
import javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager;

public class SSLTest {
    
    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
        // configure the SSLContext with a TrustManager
        SSLContext ctx = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
        ctx.init(new KeyManager[0], new TrustManager[] {new DefaultTrustManager()}, new SecureRandom());
        SSLContext.setDefault(ctx);

        URL url = new URL("https://mms.nw.ru");
        HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        conn.setHostnameVerifier(new HostnameVerifier() {
            @Override
            public boolean verify(String arg0, SSLSession arg1) {
                return true;
            }
        });
        System.out.println(conn.getResponseCode());
        conn.disconnect();
    }
    
    private static class DefaultTrustManager implements X509TrustManager {

        @Override
        public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1) throws CertificateException {}

        @Override
        public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1) throws CertificateException {}

        @Override
        public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
            return null;
        }
    }
}

<https://mms.nw.ru> likely uses a certificate not issued by a certification authority. Consequently, you need to add the certificate to your trusted Java key store as explained in unable to find valid certification path to requested target:

In addition to Pascal Thivent's correct answer, another way is to save the certificate from Firefox (View Certificate -> Details -> export) or openssl s_client and import it into the trust store.

You should only do this if you have a way to verify that certificate. Failing that, do it the first time you connect, it will at least give you an error if the certificate changes unexpectedly on subsequent connections.

To import it in a trust store, use:

keytool -importcert -keystore truststore.jks -file servercert.pem

By default, the default trust store should be $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts and its password should be changeit, see JSSE Reference guide for details.

If you don't want to allow that certificate globally, but only for these connections, it's possible to create an SSLContext for it:

TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory
    .getInstance(TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm());
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("/.../truststore.jks");
ks.load(fis, null);
// or ks.load(fis, "thepassword".toCharArray());
fis.close();

tmf.init(ks);

SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
sslContext.init(null, tmf.getTrustManagers(), null);

Then, you need to set it up for Apache HTTP Client 3.x by implementing one if its SecureProtocolSocketFactory to use this SSLContext. (There are examples here).

Apache HTTP Client 4.x (apart from the earliest version) has direct support for passing an SSLContext.

The Apache HttpClient 4.5 way:

org.apache.http.ssl.SSLContextBuilder sslContextBuilder = SSLContextBuilder.create();
sslContextBuilder.loadTrustMaterial(new org.apache.http.conn.ssl.TrustSelfSignedStrategy());
SSLContext sslContext = sslContextBuilder.build();
org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslSocketFactory =
        new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext, new org.apache.http.conn.ssl.DefaultHostnameVerifier());

HttpClientBuilder httpClientBuilder = HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(sslSocketFactory);
httpClient = httpClientBuilder.build();

NOTE: org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLContextBuilder is deprecated and org.apache.http.ssl.SSLContextBuilder is the new one (notice conn missing from the latter's package name).

For Apache HttpClient 4.5+ & Java8:

SSLContext sslContext = SSLContexts.custom()
        .loadTrustMaterial((chain, authType) -> true).build();

SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslConnectionSocketFactory =
        new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext, new String[]
        {"SSLv2Hello", "SSLv3", "TLSv1","TLSv1.1", "TLSv1.2" }, null,
        NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE);
CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.custom()
        .setSSLSocketFactory(sslConnectionSocketFactory)
        .build();

But if your HttpClient use a ConnectionManager for seeking connection, e.g. like this:

 PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager connectionManager = new 
         PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager();

 CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.custom()
            .setConnectionManager(connectionManager)
            .build();

The HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(sslConnectionSocketFactory) has no effect, the problem is not resolved.

Because that the HttpClient use the specified connectionManager for seeking connection and the specified connectionManager haven't register our customized SSLConnectionSocketFactory. To resolve this, should register the The customized SSLConnectionSocketFactory in the connectionManager. The correct code should like this:

PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager connectionManager = new 
    PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager(RegistryBuilder.
                <ConnectionSocketFactory>create()
      .register("http",PlainConnectionSocketFactory.getSocketFactory())
      .register("https", sslConnectionSocketFactory).build());

CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.custom()
            .setConnectionManager(connectionManager)
            .build();

From http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/sslguide.html">http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/sslguide.html</a>;:

Protocol.registerProtocol("https", 
new Protocol("https", new MySSLSocketFactory(), 443));
HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
GetMethod httpget = new GetMethod("https://www.whatever.com/");
try {
  httpclient.executeMethod(httpget);
      System.out.println(httpget.getStatusLine());
} finally {
      httpget.releaseConnection();
}

Where MySSLSocketFactory example can be found http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpcomponents/oac.hc3x/trunk/src/contrib/org/apache/commons/httpclient/contrib/ssl/EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory.java?view=markup">here</a>;. It references a TrustManager, which you can modify to trust everything (although you must consider this!)

want to paste the answer here:

in Apache HttpClient 4.5.5

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49368146/how-to-handle-invalid-ssl-certificate-with-apache-client-4-5-5

HttpClient httpClient = HttpClients
            .custom()
            .setSSLContext(new SSLContextBuilder().loadTrustMaterial(null, TrustAllStrategy.INSTANCE).build())
            .setSSLHostnameVerifier(NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE)
            .build();

Once you have a Java Cert Store (by using the great InstallCert class created above), you can get java to use it by passing the "javax.net.ssl.trustStore" param at java startup.

Ex:

java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/jssecacerts MyClassName

Another issue you may run into with self signed test certs is this:

java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be ...

This error occurs when you are trying to access a HTTPS url. You might have already installed the server certificate to your JRE's keystore. But this error means that the name of the server certificate does not match with the actual domain name of the server that is mentioned in the URL. This normally happens when you are using a non CA issued certificate.

This example shows how to write a HttpsURLConnection DefaultHostnameVerifier that ignore the certificates server name:

http://www.java-samples.com/showtutorial.php?tutorialid=211

EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory was giving me problems so I ended up implementing my own ProtocolSocketFactory.

First you need to register it:

Protocol.registerProtocol("https", new Protocol("https", new TrustAllSSLSocketFactory(), 443));

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
...

Then implement ProtocolSocketFactory:

class TrustAllSSLSocketFactory implements ProtocolSocketFactory {

    public static final TrustManager[] TRUST_ALL_CERTS = new TrustManager[]{
        new X509TrustManager() {
            public void checkClientTrusted(final X509Certificate[] certs, final String authType) {

            }

            public void checkServerTrusted(final X509Certificate[] certs, final String authType) {

            }

            public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                return null;
            }
        }
    };

    private TrustManager[] getTrustManager() {
        return TRUST_ALL_CERTS;
    }

    public Socket createSocket(final String host, final int port, final InetAddress clientHost,
                               final int clientPort) throws IOException {
        return getSocketFactory().createSocket(host, port, clientHost, clientPort);
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(final String host, final int port, final InetAddress localAddress,
                               final int localPort, final HttpConnectionParams params) throws IOException {
        return createSocket(host, port);
    }

    public Socket createSocket(final String host, final int port) throws IOException {
        return getSocketFactory().createSocket(host, port);
    }

    private SocketFactory getSocketFactory() throws UnknownHostException {
        TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = getTrustManager();

        try {
            SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
            context.init(null, trustAllCerts, new SecureRandom());

            final SSLSocketFactory socketFactory = context.getSocketFactory();
            HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(socketFactory);
            return socketFactory;
        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException | KeyManagementException exception) {
            throw new UnknownHostException(exception.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Note: This is with HttpClient 3.1 and Java 8

For a way to easily add hosts you trust at runtime without throwing out all checks, try the code here: http://code.google.com/p/self-signed-cert-trust-manager/.

I happened to face the same issue, all of a sudden all my imports were missing. I tried deleting all the contents in my .m2 folder. And trying to re-import everything , but still nothing worked. Finally what I did was opened the website for which the IDE was complaining that it couldn't download in my browser. And saw the certificate it was using, and saw in my

$ keytool -v -list  PATH_TO_JAVA_KEYSTORE

Path to my keystore was /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_171.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/cacerts

that particular certificate was not there.

So all you have to do is put the certificate into the JAVA JVM keystore again. It can be done using the below command.

$ keytool -import -alias ANY_NAME_YOU_WANT_TO_GIVE -file PATH_TO_YOUR_CERTIFICATE -keystore PATH_OF_JAVA_KEYSTORE

If it asks for password, try the default password 'changeit' If you get permission error when running the above command. In windows open it in administration mode. In mac and unix use sudo.

After you have successfully added the key, You can view it using :

$ keytool -v -list  /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_171.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/cacerts 

You can view just the SHA-1 using teh command

$ keytool -list  /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_171.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/cacerts 

Using the InstallCert to generate the jssecacerts file and do -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/jssecacerts worked great.

This [link](http://javaskeleton.blogspot.in/2010/07/avoiding-peer-not-authenticated-with.html "Accept all server certificates!") explains the requirement you have step by step. If You are not really concerned which certificate you can proceed with the process in below link.

Note You might want to double check what you are doing since, this is a unsafe operation.

I'm useing httpclient 3.1.X ,and this works for me

        try {
        SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
        TrustManager trustManager = new X509TrustManager() {
            @Override
            public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] x509Certificates, String s) throws CertificateException {
            }

            @Override
            public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] x509Certificates, String s) throws CertificateException {

            }

            @Override
            public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                return null;
            }
        };
        sslContext.init(null, new TrustManager[]{trustManager}, null);
        SslContextSecureProtocolSocketFactory socketFactory = new SslContextSecureProtocolSocketFactory(sslContext,false);
        Protocol.registerProtocol("https", new Protocol("https", (ProtocolSocketFactory) socketFactory, 443));//同样会影响到HttpUtils
    } catch (Throwable e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return sslSocketFactory;
}

public synchronized void setSSLContext(SSLContext sslContext) {
    this.sslContext = sslContext;
}

}

For HttpClient, we can do this :

SSLContext ctx = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
        ctx.init(new KeyManager[0], new TrustManager[] {new DefaultTrustManager()}, new SecureRandom());
        SSLContext.setDefault(ctx);

        String uri = new StringBuilder("url").toString();

        HostnameVerifier hostnameVerifier = new HostnameVerifier() {
            @Override
            public boolean verify(String arg0, SSLSession arg1) {
                return true;
            }
        };

        HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().setSSLContext(ctx)
                .setSSLHostnameVerifier(hostnameVerifier).build()

follow the instruction given below for Java 1.7, to create an SSL certificate using InstallCert.java program file.

you must restart the tomcat

Used the following along with DefaultTrustManager and it worked in httpclient like charm. Thanks a ton!! @Kevin and every other contributor

    SSLContext ctx = null;
    SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslsf = null;
    try {

        ctx = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
        ctx.init(new KeyManager[0], new TrustManager[] {new DefaultTrustManager()}, new SecureRandom());
        SSLContext.setDefault(ctx);

        sslsf = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(
                ctx,
                new String[] { "TLSv1" },
                null,
                SSLConnectionSocketFactory.getDefaultHostnameVerifier());

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

     CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.custom()
            .setSSLSocketFactory(sslsf)
            .build();
