Https client smart card

Open sclassen opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Original contribution by @DavidTavoularis in #729:

a. Better HTTPS with Client authentication :

In order to avoid too many PIN/Password requests (HTTPS hanshakes), downloads first the initial jar (mono-thread) then all remaining ones (multi-thread)
In case of initial jar download failure (Client Certificate Selection cancel, incorrect PIN/Password, ...), fail fast and do not try to download remaining jars
No resource prefetch, otherwise deployment.cache.parallelDownloadCount is not enforced

b. New Security Dialog UI for Client Certificate Selection :

Ability to display details on each certificate
Shown in TaskBar
Cancellable
Selection using double-click, Enter key or OK button
Internationalization

c. SmartCard support on Windows

Introduction of a Merged Key Manager for user, system and browser key stores
Client alias selection using a preference algorithm :
a) Get all non-expired aliases with extension ClientCert (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2) or ANY (2.5.29.37.0)
if only one, it is selected, if more than one, a UI helps to select one of them.
b) Otherwise, get all expired aliases with extension ClientCert (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2) or ANY (2.5.29.37.0)
if only one, it is selected, if more than one, a UI helps to select one of them.
c) Otherwise, get all remaining aliases
if only one, it is selected, if more than one, a UI helps to select one of them.
UI will display the suffix " (from user keystore)" or " (from system keystore)" or " (from browser keystore)"
If user cancels the Client Certificate UI, it is remembered for next chooseClientAlias call
Client alias selection is cached per remote host
