> CXF client (JAXWS & JAXRS) for HTTPS calls currently only allows to disable hostname verification ({{<http-conf:tlsClientParameters disableCNCheck="true" />}}) but does not allow to disable X509 certificates checking.
> Due to this, it can be painful to invoke services with self-signed certificates on non-production environments (see sample stacktrace below).
> Here is a proposal to disable all X509 certificates in CXF (JAXWS & JAXRS) clients :
> * Add boolean attribute {{trustAllCertificates}} to {{<http-conf:tlsClientParameters ... />}},
> * In the {{HTTPConduit}}, if {{trustAllCertificates="true"}}, the {{HttpsURLConnectionFactory}} will use an 'accept all certificates' {{javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager}} and an 'accept all' {{javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier}}.
> *Note* : this proposal adds an attribute {{trustAllCertificates}} to the {{TLSClientParametersType}} complex type and thus *this proposal requires to publish a new 'backward compatible' [http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/security.xsd]*. 
> Configuration sample enabling 'trustAllCertificates' to invoke an HTTPS service:
> {code:xml}
> <jaxws:client id="helloWorldServiceClient"
>    serviceClass="com.example.HelloWorldService"
>    address="https://example.com/services/helloWorldService">
> </jaxws:client>
> <http-conf:conduit name="{http://example.com/}HelloWorldServicePort.http-conduit">
>    <!-- trust all certificates (self signed certificates, etc) -->
>    <http-conf:tlsClientParameters trustAllCertificates="true" />
>    
>    <http-conf:authorization>
>       <security:UserName>my-user-name</security:UserName>
>       <security:Password>my-password</security:Password>
>    </http-conf:authorization>
> </http-conf:conduit>
> {code}
