[jacorb-developer] SSL with JacORB - Looking for help!

[Sandeep Gattani]

Dear members,

I am trying to enable SSL for all of my CORBA communications. After some
analysis and configuration trial and error, I am able to bring up all
processes with SSL enabled settings. However, when I try to analyze the
communication using wireshark, I see that SSL is not actually being used.

Configuration details:
1. Environment include RHEL* 7*, Jacorb *3.9*, JDK & JRE *1.8.0_171*.
2. JAVA processes include 1 naming service, 1 notify service, 2 JVMs
(client and server)- both connected to the naming and notify services. All
processes are on same machine. The second JVM will also act as server for
external processes (on different machine) to communicate.
3. Single* jacorb.properties* is used for all processes, SSL related
configuration made are attached.
4. The certificate for root CA created is added to JRE trust store.

All processes are starting and running as usual, but the underlying TCP
does not use SSL as seen in wireshark.

Kindly guide me, on how do I proceed next.


Thanks and regards,
Sandeep Gattani.
