KeyManagerFactory

extends Object
java.lang.Object
   ↳ com.sun.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory

This class is deprecated.
As of JDK 1.4, this implementation-specific class was replaced by KeyManagerFactory.

Class Overview

This class acts as a factory for key managers based on a source of key material. Each key manager manages a specific type of key material for use by secure sockets. The key material is based on a KeyStore and/or provider specific sources.

Summary

Protected Constructors
KeyManagerFactory(KeyManagerFactorySpi factorySpi, Provider provider, String algorithm)
Creates a KeyManagerFactory object.
Public Methods
final String getAlgorithm()
Returns the algorithm name of this KeyManagerFactory object.
final static String getDefaultAlgorithm()

The default KeyManager can be changed by setting the value of the "sun.ssl.keymanager.type" security property (in the Java security properties file) to the desired name.

final static KeyManagerFactory getInstance(String algorithm, String provider)
Generates a KeyManagerFactory object for the specified key management algorithm from the specified provider.
final static KeyManagerFactory getInstance(String algorithm, Provider provider)
Generates a KeyManagerFactory object for the specified key management algorithm from the specified provider.
final static KeyManagerFactory getInstance(String algorithm)
Generates a KeyManagerFactory object that implements the specified key management algorithm.
KeyManager[] getKeyManagers()
Returns one key manager for each type of key material.
final Provider getProvider()
Returns the provider of this KeyManagerFactory object.
void init(KeyStore ks, char[] password)
Initializes this factory with a source of key material.

Protected Constructors

protected KeyManagerFactory (KeyManagerFactorySpi factorySpi, Provider provider, String algorithm)

Creates a KeyManagerFactory object.

Parameters
factorySpi the delegate
provider the provider
algorithm the algorithm

Public Methods

public final String getAlgorithm ()

Returns the algorithm name of this KeyManagerFactory object.

This is the same name that was specified in one of the getInstance calls that created this KeyManagerFactory object.

Returns
  • the algorithm name of this KeyManagerFactory object.

public static final String getDefaultAlgorithm ()

The default KeyManager can be changed by setting the value of the "sun.ssl.keymanager.type" security property (in the Java security properties file) to the desired name.

Returns
  • the default type as specified in the Java security properties file, or an implementation-specific default if no such property exists.

public static final KeyManagerFactory getInstance (String algorithm, String provider)

Generates a KeyManagerFactory object for the specified key management algorithm from the specified provider.

Parameters
algorithm the standard name of the requested algorithm.
provider the name of the provider
Returns
  • the new KeyManagerFactory object
Throws
NoSuchAlgorithmException if the specified algorithm is not available from the specified provider.
NoSuchProviderException if the specified provider has not been configured.

public static final KeyManagerFactory getInstance (String algorithm, Provider provider)

Generates a KeyManagerFactory object for the specified key management algorithm from the specified provider.

Parameters
algorithm the standard name of the requested algorithm.
provider an instance of the provider
Returns
  • the new KeyManagerFactory object
Throws
NoSuchAlgorithmException if the specified algorithm is not available from the specified provider.

public static final KeyManagerFactory getInstance (String algorithm)

Generates a KeyManagerFactory object that implements the specified key management algorithm. If the default provider package provides an implementation of the requested key management algorithm, an instance of KeyManagerFactory containing that implementation is returned. If the algorithm is not available in the default provider package, other provider packages are searched.

Parameters
algorithm the standard name of the requested algorithm.
Returns
  • the new KeyManagerFactory object
Throws
NoSuchAlgorithmException if the specified algorithm is not available in the default provider package or any of the other provider packages that were searched.

public KeyManager[] getKeyManagers ()

Returns one key manager for each type of key material.

Returns
  • the key managers

public final Provider getProvider ()

Returns the provider of this KeyManagerFactory object.

Returns
  • the provider of this KeyManagerFactory object

public void init (KeyStore ks, char[] password)

Initializes this factory with a source of key material. The provider may also include a provider-specific source of key material.

Parameters
ks the key store or null
password the password for recovering keys
Throws
KeyStoreException
NoSuchAlgorithmException
UnrecoverableKeyException
