Examine SSL/TLS Server Certificate

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates how an application can examine and check a server's SSL/TLS certificate. Java

    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  If we get here, the TLS connection ws made..
    //  In any SSL/TLS handshake, the server sends its certificate in a TLS handshake message.
    //  Chilkat will keep it cached within the object that made the connection.
    //  Get the server's cert and examine a few things.

    System.out.println("Distinguished Name: " + cert.subjectDN());
    System.out.println("Common Name: " + cert.subjectCN());
    System.out.println("Issuer Distinguished Name: " + cert.issuerDN());
