SSLContextFactory Example

This example demonstrates how to implement the SSLContextFactory, an alternative way to provide an SSL Context to the Connection Options.

SSLContextFactory interface

The SSLContextFactory interface contains one method

public interface SSLContextFactory {
    SSLContext createSSLContext(SSLContextFactoryProperties properties);
}

Here is an excerpt from SSLContextFactoryProperties

public class SSLContextFactoryProperties {
    public final String keystorePath;
    public final char[] keystorePassword;
    public final String truststorePath;
    public final char[] truststorePassword;
    public final String tlsAlgorithm;

    public String getKeystorePath() {
        return keystorePath;
    }

    public char[] getKeystorePassword() {
        return keystorePassword;
    }

    public String getTruststorePath() {
        return truststorePath;
    }

    public char[] getTruststorePassword() {
        return truststorePassword;
    }

    public String getTlsAlgorithm() {
        return tlsAlgorithm;
    }
    
    ...
}

These properties are populated from the information used to create the connection Options class. The class is designed so the values can be directly accessed via their public final fields or public getters, based on your personal style of coding.

Options options = new Options.Builder()
    .server(SERVER_URL)
    .keystorePath("path/to/keystore")
    .keystorePassword("keystore-password".toCharArray())
    .truststorePath("path/to/truststore")
    .truststorePassword("truststore-password".toCharArray())
    .tlsAlgorithm("SunX509") // SunX509 is the default if this is not provided 
    .sslContextFactory(new MySSLContextFactory())
    ...
    .build();

There is no requirement that your factory use these properties, but since they exist they were passed on. You could get them from the environment or maybe get them from a vault.

Example Factories

The project provides 2 different example factories.

The class FactoryUsesPropertiesFromConnectionOptions uses the instance of SSLContextFactoryProperties that is passed to the factory.
The class FactoryUsesPropertiesFromSystemProperties gets those same values via System.getProperty(String key)

Some other ways to get those values:

Get properties directly from the runtime environment using System.getenv(String name)
Get properties directly from something like a vault.

Running the Example

Running this example requires some setup. There are six files located in the ssl-files directory.

server.conf
ca.pem
key.pem
server.pem
keystore.jks
truststore.jks

You should determine the location of the ssl-files folder on your machine and replace all the <path-to> placeholders. Fix those.

In the server.conf file, there are 3 placeholders under the tls section. See cert_file, key_file and ca_file.
In the FactoryExample source code there are 2 placeholders found in the string values for KEYSTORE_PATH and TRUSTSTORE_PATH.

You can then run the nats-server with the config file i.e. nats-server -c <path-to>/server.conf

Example output

Here is a sample run output:

Calling FactoryUsesPropertiesFromConnectionOptions.createSSLContext(...)
  These properties are passed in from the Options being used to create the connection:
    keystorePath:       ~/dev/java-nats-examples/ssl-context-factory/ssl-files/keystore.jks
    keystorePassword:   password
    truststorePath:     ~/dev/java-nats-examples/ssl-context-factory/ssl-files/truststore.jks
    truststorePassword: password
    tlsAlgorithm:       SunX509
Connected using FactoryUsesPropertiesFromConnectionOptions

Calling FactoryUsesPropertiesFromSystemProperties.createSSLContext(...)
  These properties are read from the system.
    keystorePath:       ~/dev/java-nats-examples/ssl-context-factory/ssl-files/keystore.jks
    keystorePassword:   password
    truststorePath:     ~/dev/java-nats-examples/ssl-context-factory/ssl-files/truststore.jks
    truststorePassword: password
    tlsAlgorithm:       SunX509
Connected using FactoryUsesPropertiesFromSystemProperties
