Signing Certificates using Java

Posted by sunil Kumar on January 02, 2001 at 2:54 AM

> Hi all,
> This topic is one which I have been having trouble with for the last few weeks, and I don't seem to be getting anywhere with it.

> I need to connect to this site using https and a certificate. The site has provided me with the necessary certificate to install in my browser, and I can view it in my browser. But I have no idea as how to do this in Java.

> I have exported the certificate to a *.cer file, but after that, what?

> I've tried using HttpsURLConnection but don't seeem to be getting anywhere. How do you send a certificate (and whatever keys there are) across to the site to complete authentication?

> Extremely grateful for any help. Thanks.
