Class KeyHolder

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.james.security.KeyHolder

public class KeyHolder
extends java.lang.Object

Loads a KeyStore in memory and keeps it ready for the cryptographic activity.

It has the role of being a simpler intermediate to the crypto libraries. Uses specifically the Legion of the Bouncy Castle libraries, particularly for the SMIME activity.

Since:

2.2.1

KeyHolder

public KeyHolder(java.lang.String keyStoreFileName,
                 java.lang.String keyStorePassword,
                 java.lang.String keyAlias,
                 java.lang.String keyAliasPassword,
                 java.lang.String keyStoreType)
          throws java.security.KeyStoreException,

                 java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException,
                 java.security.NoSuchProviderException

Creates a new instance of KeyHolder using KeyStore related parameters.

Parameters:

keyStoreFileName - The (absolute) file name of the .keystore file to load the keystore from.

keyStorePassword - The (optional) password used to check the integrity of the keystore. If given, it is used to check the integrity of the keystore data, otherwise, if null, the integrity of the keystore is not checked.

keyAlias - The alias name of the key. If missing (is null) and if there is only one key in the keystore, will default to it.

keyAliasPassword - The password of the alias for recovering the key. If missing (is null) will default to keyStorePassword. At least one of the passwords must be provided.

keyStoreType - The type of keystore. If missing (is null) will default to the keystore type as specified in the Java security properties file, or the string "jks" (acronym for "Java keystore") if no such property exists.

Throws:

java.security.KeyStoreException - Thrown when the keyAlias is specified and not found, or is not specified and either no alias is found or more than one is found.
