The CtsSecurity.SSLServiceProvider interface provides setGlobalProperty and getGlobalProperty methods to set and retrieve the SSL properties listed in Table 5-1. After initializing an ORB instance, you can instantiate a proxy for the SSLServiceProvider interface with the ORB.resolve_initial_references method, as shown below:
import CtsSecurity.*;
SSLServiceProvider sslServProv =
SSLServiceProviderHelper.narrow
(orb.resolve_initial_references
("SSLServiceProvider"));
You can then call the setGlobalProperty method to set properties, as in the example below:
prov.setGlobalProperty("qop", "sybpks_intl");
Properties set with the SSLServiceProvider interface affect all ORB instances used by the application. However, if an equivalent property has been set for an ORB instance, the ORB property value takes precedence.
You can retrieve property values using the getGlobalProperty method. For example:
String availQop[] = prov.getGlobalProperty("availableQop");
String qopDesc[] = prov.getGlobalProperty("availableQopDesc");
getGlobalPropertyMethod returns an array of strings. When retrieving properties that take a single value, the value is returned in an array of length 1.
These methods are also documented in the generated Interface Repository documentation for the CtsSecurity::SSLCallback interface. The generated documentation is linked to your EAServer’s main HTML page.
