Use OS certificate trust store instead the Java build in cacerts
Because Java will no longer receive automatic updates in the future that it is important to use the root certificates of the OS instead the certificates of with the application bundled Java VM. With the follow code I can use the certificates of the OS:
String type;
if( OS.isWindows() ) {
type = "Windows-ROOT"; // provider SunMSCAPI
} else if( OS.isMac() ) {
type = "KeychainStore"; // provider Apple
} else {
type = null;
}
try {
if( type != null ) {
KeyStore.getInstance( type ); // throw an exception if not available
System.setProperty( "javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", type );
System.setProperty( "javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "NONE" );
}
} catch( Throwable th ) {
th.printStackTrace();
}
This code must be executed before any SSL code was run.
To this code I have the follow questions?
- Are there any risk with this code?
- Why is this not the default in Java (technical causes)?
- Is there an equals solution for Linux?
