BBj-Specific Information
Description
In BBj 15.0 and higher,
the following modes apply to TCP channels. They are used to initiate STARTTLS
mode on a TCP connection, either from the client or the server.
|
Mode |
Description |
|
STARTTLS |
This option has no arguments and actually initiates STARTTLS on a connection. |
|
AFTERNEXTWRITE |
This option will only initiate STARTTLS on a connection after the next write on the connection. It is generally used on a server in order to go ahead and initiate STARTTLS before responding to the client with an unencrypted status response. |
|
ADDRESS=address |
By default STARTTLS applies to the connection with the most recent read, but a server can actually initiate STARTTLS on any current connection by supplying an address of the form “<ip address>:<client port>” to uniquely identify the connection. This is the same form returned by the KEY function to identify the client that sent the most recent read. |
|
KEYSTORE=keystore |
STARTTLS is actually initiating an SSL session, and therefore a user may want to supply their own keystore for authentication. This is optional since BBj will use a default keystore if one is not supplied. |
|
PASSWORD=password |
This is the password for the above keystore if provided. |
