Re: [higgins-dev] Custom SSL Socket Factory for JNDI CP

I assumed Tony was asking one of these:
 
4. Is the use of the custom socket factory's use by the CP configurable using the configuration component?
 
5. Does one use the configuration component to configure the trust store to be used by the custom socket factory?
Tony has a tricky way of asking lots of questions with a seemingly small sentence.

I'm not sure I understand the question.  Are you asking ...?

1. Will the socket factory be configured independently separately
from the JNDI CP?
No, regardless of which configuration code we use, the setting of
the trust store and other settings (ie. an "ldaps" address) that
cause us to use the custom socket factory are simply specific
configuration settings for the JNDI CP.  Unless [#3].

2. Will the JNDI CP become a configurable component?
Yes, that's in progress.  Actually, I had to defer that effort to create
this custom SSL Socket Factory for our old Identity Abstraction and
so I brought that code forward because we need it in Higgins as well
because the current JNDI CP effects the entire JVM when it's trust
store is configured.  Anyway, next task for me is to get back to using
the common configuration code in the JNDI CP.

3. Could it be commonly configured and used by other components?
Yes, I suppose it could.  Right now it's a singleton but there's nothing
JNDI or LDAP specific about
it except that it's being used solely by the JNDI CP to isolate itself
from effecting the default SSL Socket Factory every other process
in the JVM will use.

4. Something else?

So this would socket factory would be configured by configuration
component ?

I have created a custom SSL socket factory for use with the JNDI CP.  This
allows the JNDI configured trust store to be specific to the JNDI CP secure
sockets instead of the store store for entire JVM as it currently is.
Unless this is considered a necessary bug fix by someone, I guess I'll just
check it in to the forked branch.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Tom
