Class SslContext

java.lang.Object

org.jboss.netty.handler.ssl.SslContext

Direct Known Subclasses:

JdkSslContext, OpenSslServerContext

public abstract class SslContext
extends Object

A secure socket protocol implementation which acts as a factory for SSLEngine and SslHandler. Internally, it is implemented via JDK's SSLContext or OpenSSL's SSL_CTX.

Making your server support SSL/TLS

 // In your ChannelPipelineFactory:
 ChannelPipeline p = Channels.pipeline();
 SslContext sslCtx = SslContext.newServerContext(...);
 p.addLast("ssl", sslCtx.newEngine());
 ...
 

Making your client support SSL/TLS

 // In your ChannelPipelineFactory:
 ChannelPipeline p = Channels.pipeline();
 SslContext sslCtx = SslContext.newClientContext(...);
 p.addLast("ssl", sslCtx.newEngine(host, port));
 ...
