Description

Hi,

I want to implement two way authentication using SSL. I checked the server authentication working good but now I want to authenticate users using client certificates.

Is there any implementation awailable for client authentication in Beem ?

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks,
Yakub Moriswala

SSL mutual authentication is set by the standard java mechanism to create SSL sockets. This is a starting point to implement it in Beem.
In the BeemService class, we use a custom SSLContext and set it in the initMemorizingTrustManager(). You have to configure this SSLContext to do mutual SSL authentication.

Then according to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6120 and http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0178.html
the server should present the EXTERNAL SASL mechanism. This mechanism is currently not supported in aSmack, but it is pretty simple to handle it. An implementation already exist in Smack but was disabled in aSmack.

These type of questions should be sent on the mailing list for more broader audience
