# Class SslRMIServerSocketFactory

java.lang.Object
javax.rmi.ssl.SslRMIServerSocketFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `RMIServerSocketFactory`

public class SslRMIServerSocketFactory extends Object implements RMIServerSocketFactory

An `SslRMIServerSocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain server sockets for RMI calls via SSL.

This class implements `RMIServerSocketFactory` over the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.

This class creates SSL sockets using the default `SSLSocketFactory` (see `SSLSocketFactory.getDefault()`) or the default `SSLServerSocketFactory` (see `SSLServerSocketFactory.getDefault()`) unless the constructor taking an `SSLContext` is used in which case the SSL sockets are created using the `SSLSocketFactory` returned by `SSLContext.getSocketFactory()` or the `SSLServerSocketFactory` returned by `SSLContext.getServerSocketFactory()`. When an `SSLContext` is not supplied all the instances of this class share the same keystore, and the same truststore (when client authentication is required by the server). This behavior can be modified by supplying an already initialized `SSLContext` instance.

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### SslRMIServerSocketFactory

    public SslRMIServerSocketFactory()

    Creates a new `SslRMIServerSocketFactory` with the default SSL socket configuration.

    SSL connections accepted by server sockets created by this factory have the default cipher suites and protocol versions enabled and do not require client authentication.

  - ### SslRMIServerSocketFactory

    public SslRMIServerSocketFactory(String[] enabledCipherSuites, String[] enabledProtocols, boolean needClientAuth) throws IllegalArgumentException

    Creates a new `SslRMIServerSocketFactory` with the specified SSL socket configuration.

    Parameters:
      `enabledCipherSuites` - names of all the cipher suites to enable on SSL connections accepted by server sockets created by this factory, or `null` to use the cipher suites that are enabled by default
      `enabledProtocols` - names of all the protocol versions to enable on SSL connections accepted by server sockets created by this factory, or `null` to use the protocol versions that are enabled by default
      `needClientAuth` - `true` to require client authentication on SSL connections accepted by server sockets created by this factory; `false` to not require client authentication
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - when one or more of the cipher suites named by the `enabledCipherSuites` parameter is not supported, when one or more of the protocols named by the `enabledProtocols` parameter is not supported or when a problem is encountered while trying to check if the supplied cipher suites and protocols to be enabled are supported.

      - `SSLSocket.setEnabledProtocols(String[])`
      - `SSLSocket.setNeedClientAuth(boolean)`

  - ### SslRMIServerSocketFactory

    public SslRMIServerSocketFactory(SSLContext context, String[] enabledCipherSuites, String[] enabledProtocols, boolean needClientAuth) throws IllegalArgumentException

    Creates a new `SslRMIServerSocketFactory` with the specified `SSLContext` and SSL socket configuration.

    Parameters:
      `context` - the SSL context to be used for creating SSL sockets. If `context` is null the default `SSLSocketFactory` or the default `SSLServerSocketFactory` will be used to create SSL sockets. Otherwise, the socket factory returned by `SSLContext.getSocketFactory()` or `SSLContext.getServerSocketFactory()` will be used instead.
      `enabledCipherSuites` - names of all the cipher suites to enable on SSL connections accepted by server sockets created by this factory, or `null` to use the cipher suites that are enabled by default
      `enabledProtocols` - names of all the protocol versions to enable on SSL connections accepted by server sockets created by this factory, or `null` to use the protocol versions that are enabled by default
      `needClientAuth` - `true` to require client authentication on SSL connections accepted by server sockets created by this factory; `false` to not require client authentication
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - when one or more of the cipher suites named by the `enabledCipherSuites` parameter is not supported, when one or more of the protocols named by the `enabledProtocols` parameter is not supported or when a problem is encountered while trying to check if the supplied cipher suites and protocols to be enabled are supported.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getEnabledCipherSuites

    public final String[] getEnabledCipherSuites()

    Returns the names of the cipher suites enabled on SSL connections accepted by server sockets created by this factory, or `null` if this factory uses the cipher suites that are enabled by default.

    Returns:
      an array of cipher suites enabled, or `null`

  - ### createServerSocket

    public ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port) throws IOException

    Creates a server socket that accepts SSL connections configured according to this factory's SSL socket configuration parameters.

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)

    Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

    Two `SslRMIServerSocketFactory` objects are equal if they have been constructed with the same SSL context and SSL socket configuration parameters.

    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `Object`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - the reference object with which to compare.
    Returns:
      `true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.
