Hi, <br />
As mentioned in the Derby tuning guide, its possible to start the derby server in the way that is accepts only ssl connections. <br />
<br />
Its only required to give at startup a java keystore and a the keystores password. <br />
<br />
My question is, how does the server know wich key is to use from the given keystore ?? <br />
I thought that there is a java property that has to be set before startup and that indicates wich key from the given keystore, has to be used. <br />
<br />
Thanks im advance. <br />

Starting apache derby with SSL encryption

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
