RE: How to use EventServer and SSL at the same time?

Hello, Andrzej

> how to configure event service to use it with SSL?

The Orbacus Event Service is not SSL enabled by default. Since the
source code needs to be modified in order to add the SSL functionality.

Basically, you will need to put JFSSL part of code into right place in
the com.ooc.CosEvent.Server.java file just explained in our
PartII-FreeSSL chapter of the Orbacus Manual. 

As explained in our manual, for a client, you will need to resolve
initial reference of "FSSLContextManager" first. Then create the client
certificate chain, the client context and finally set the context as
default one for all object references. 

In case of a server, you will need to obtain a reference to the FSSL
Context Manager similarly as the client side. Then create the server
certificate chain, the server context and finally initializing
POAManager for the RootPOA using the server context and context manager.


To make the event service working with FreeSSL, you will need to follow
those steps depends on the role of your process whether it is a client
or a server. For the event service, it is a bit tricky here since the
event service acts as both server and client. Hence, you will need to
add FSSL code for both server and client into the
com.ooc.CosEvent.Server.java file.

If you have a PushSupplier, then it should be quite simple. You just
need client side JFSSL code here. However, for the PushConsumer, you
will have to add both server and client FSSL code since it acts as
client when it creates proxyPushSupplier on the event channel and
connects itself to the event channel. It also acts as a server when the
event channel pushes all the events into it.

For the pull mode, it is a similar but reversed situation.

I have modified and configured the event service with JFSSL using JSSE
toolkit. I also brought up a PushConsumer and PushSupplier and both
communicated with the event service using SSL.

Some key configuration variables I used as following:
ooc.oci.client=fssliop --backend com.ooc.FSSL.jsse.FSSLImpl
ooc.oci.server=fssliop
ooc.event.endpoint=fssliop --port 21411

ooc.orb.service.EventService=corbaloc:fssliop:localhost:21411/DefaultEve
ntChannel
ooc.orb.service.EventChannelFactory=corbaloc:fssliop:localhost:21411/Def
aultEventChannelFactory  

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Joe
