Re: [equinox-dev] update site tests pass AND linux + .keyring file question

Are we performing this work on Harmony as well?

If not, it seems we should be.

Yes, hopefully OpenJDK will behave in the same way as the other popular
JREs - /lib/security/cacerts. In effect, the location of cacerts is a
defacto API. It would be nice if there was API to get/set the system code
signature verification certs as a KeyStore object (or at least the path and
type as properties), but I've not seen anything like that in any JRE.

Also worth noting is that the implementation of the system certificate
store used for SSL can be replaced using the TrustManagerFactorySpi, and
the behaviour  of the default JSSE provider can be modified by:

javax.net.ssl.trustStore=<path to certs keystore>
javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=<type of keystore>
javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=<password>

I think you may be referring to the certificate store problem when using
OpenJDK.  The capsule summary is that Equinox Security is looking in a
particular location for the JRE's "cacerts" file that lists the known
trusted certificate roots. OpenJDK was storing this cacerts file in a
different place, so Equinox Security did not find it, and thus all
certificates appeared to be untrusted.  I believe the OpenJDK is fixing
this on their side, so that Equinox Security will correctly find the
cacerts file. I can't recall if the solution involved just moving the file
to a different location, or setting some system property to allow the file
to be found. Does this sound like the issue you are referring to?

Hi all,

As promised during the p2 dev call, we've run our update site tests and are
happy to
announce that everything passed!

During the p2 dev call there was talk of linux + .keyring failures and a
recent solution.
Can anybody jump in an fill in the details for us?

Thanks,
jkca
