Re: [Sblim-devel] CIM Client configuration for SSL connections

Thanks so much Dave.

I am currently looking into possibility of implementing certificate based authentication for my CIM Client. According to the documents, the CIMOM certificate should be imported into the truststore before CIM Client application initiates the connection. Is there a better way to do this? Can we do it in the run-time such that we can retrieve the certificate that CIMOM sent during the first connection, and then trust the certificate based on a user action?

Thanks,
Vihang

Hi Vihang,

It sounds like your question pertains more to configuration in general 
than it does to SSL specifically.  You can find documentation for both 
in the ./org/sblim/cimclient/doc-files folder in the project (that is, 
packaged with the Java CIM Client) or on the web at:

It is not necessary to set the properties for each instance of the 
client individually, although you can do that if your application 
requires it.  The difference between global config, 
client/listener-specific config and thread-specific config is explained 
in configuration.html.  Let me know if you have questions after reading 
that.

Perhaps your confusion comes from the difference between 
client.getProperties() and client.getProperty(), where client is an 
instance of WBEMClient.  It's true that client.getProperties() does not 
return any values set in the .properties file.  That's because 
properties from the file are global properties, and 
client.getProperties() only returns those properties specific to that 
client instance (as set via client.setProperty() for example).  To 
return a list of global properties, including those read from the file, 
you can use System.getProperties().

client.getProperty() behaves a little differently.  This method will 
return a value for the property in question in the following precedence: 
local (i.e thread-specific), client-specific, global, default (i.e as 
set in WBEMConfigurationDefaults).  So in that sense, 
client.getProperty() can return a value that was set via the .properties 
file, wheareas client.getProperties() will not.  I hope that clarifies.
