Q.
How is it possible to establish an SSL connection from a client (running Windows xxxx) to a server running a Corba object on a NetWare 5.1 server using 100% Java?
The first question is: Is this possible at all? If yes, then the next question is not what APIs can/should be used, but which components (Certificate server, PKI, etc.) are required to do so and where can I find further information?
A.
Yes, this is possible, provided that your ORB supports a socket factory mechanism. If it does, all you need to do is to create JavaSSL sockets in place of standard sockets. On the server, PKI, NICI and SAS are required. See the Novell SSL NDK at http://developer.novell.com
