<center><h1>Netscape Security Services for Java</h1></center>
|
|
|
|
Netscape Security Services for Java (JSS) is an interface allowing Java applications
|
|
to use the Secure Sockets Layer protocol. The interface is implemented with the
|
|
FIPS-validated Netscape Security Services library.
|
|
It consists of a system-dependent dynamic library (<code>libjss.so</code>
|
|
on UNIX, <code>jss.dll</code> on Windows) and a ZIP file
|
|
(<code>jss.zip</code>) containing system-independent Java classes.
|
|
These classes are compatible with JDK 1.1 or later <b>using the native
|
|
thread implementation (not green threads)</b>.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Building Applications with JSS</h2>
|
|
To construct Java applications that use JSS, you must:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Call the JSS classes from your application.
|
|
<li>When compiling your application, put <code>jss.zip</code> in your
|
|
<code>CLASSPATH</code>.
|
|
<li>When running your application, put <code>libjss.so</code> in your
|
|
<code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> (on UNIX) or <code>jss.dll</code>
|
|
in your <code>PATH</code> (on Windows), and put
|
|
<code>jss.zip</code> in your <code>CLASSPATH</code>.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Programming with JSS</h2>
|
|
Before the SSL classes can be used,
|
|
<a href="javadoc/org/mozilla/jss/NSSInit.html#initialize(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)">
|
|
<code>NSSInit.initialize</code></a> must be called to open the security
|
|
databases and initialize the random number generator.
|
|
<a href="javadoc/org/mozilla/jss/NSSInit.html#setPasswordCallback(org.mozilla.jss.util.PasswordCallback)"><code>
|
|
NSSInit.setPasswordCallback</code></a> may be called to change the password
|
|
callback; the default is to prompt for passwords on the command line.
|
|
|
|
<p>The files in the <code>examples</code> directory illustrate the use of JSS
|
|
in an application:
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><a href="examples/SSLClient.java">SSLClient.java</a>
|
|
<dd>An example of an SSL client application.
|
|
<dt><a href="examples/SSLServer.java">SSLServer.java</a>
|
|
<dd>An example of an SSL server application.
|
|
To run, it requires certificate
|
|
and key databases that contain a certificate called "SSLServer". The sample
|
|
<code>cert7.db</code> and <code>key3.db</code> files, also in the
|
|
<code>examples</code> directory,
|
|
can be used for this purpose. When <code>SSLServer</code> is run,
|
|
it will ask for a password
|
|
for the "Internal Key Storage Token", which is the key database.
|
|
The password for the example <code>key3.db</code> file is "netscape".
|
|
</dl>
|
|
These classes are in the <code>org.mozilla.jss.ssl</code> package.
|
|
The <code>.class</code> files must be put in the subdirectory
|
|
<code>org/mozilla/jss/ssl</code> of a <code>CLASSPATH</code> entry
|
|
in order to be located by the Java virtual machine.
