Class CertificateValidator

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jetty.util.security.CertificateValidator

public class CertificateValidator
extends Object

Convenience class to handle validation of certificates, aliases and keystores Allows specifying Certificate Revocation List (CRL), as well as enabling CRL Distribution Points Protocol (CRLDP) certificate extension support, and also enabling On-Line Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) support. IMPORTANT: at least one of the above mechanisms *MUST* be configured and operational, otherwise certificate validation *WILL FAIL* unconditionally.
