Method Detail

isTrustedPeer

boolean isTrustedPeer(SSLCertificate certificate)

Deprecated.

Decides if the peer certificate is trusted or not. The handshaker calls this method with the certificate chain sent by the peer. The trust decider now can decide if this certificate is trusted or not. If the trust decider rejects the certificate a SSLException "Untrusted Certificate!" is thrown and the connection is closed.

To set your own TrustDecider use the method setTrustDecieder of class SSLContext.

If no trust decider is set every certificate is trusted.

Parameters:

certificate - the certificate (list) of the peer or null if the peer has no certificate

Returns:

true if the peer is trusted or false otherwise
