[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-14223) Provide ability to do custom
certificate validations (e.g. hostname validation, certificate revocation
checks)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14223?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16360330#comment-16360330 ]
Dinesh Joshi commented on CASSANDRA-14223:
------------------------------------------
[~ronblechman], could you please expand on OCSP? Specifically - are you looking for the clients to verify the Server's certificate expiry or vice-versa? Or are you interested in both Server, Client verifying each other's certificate expiry? From a scalability standpoint OCSP Stapling is essential. Support for it is coming in Java 9 (see [JEP 249|http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/249]). What do expect to be added to C* for OCSP?

> Cassandra server should be to be able do additional certificate validations, such as hostname validatation and certificate revocation checking against CRLs and/or using OCSP.
> One approach couild be to have SSLFactory use SSLContext.getDefault() instead of forcing the creation of a new SSLContext using SSLContext.getInstance(). Using the default SSLContext would allow a user to plug in their own custom SSLSocketFactory via the java.security properties file. The custom SSLSocketFactory could create a default SSLContext that was customized to do any extra validation such as certificate revocation, host name validation, etc.
