run

sample

applications

using

Java.

About SSL Access

In

the

default

configuration,

VMware

Cloud

Director

requires

vCloud

API

clients

to

use

SSL.

To

simplify

access

to

Cloud

Director,

all

SDK

samples

use

a

FakeSSLSocketFactory

class

that

allows

the

sample

programs

to

accept

all

SSL

certificates.

Because

clients

that

use

the

FakeSSLSocketFactory

class

are

inherently

insecure,

you

should

restrict

use

of

this

method

to

sample

applications,

and

only

in

trusted

environments.

All

of

the

sample

applications

use

the

FakeSSLSocketFactory

class.

Client

applications

built

with

this

SDK

can

enable

the

use

of

SSL

certificates

by

either

importing

certificates

into

a

keystore

or

implementing

a

custom

socket

factory

that

accepts

certificates

from

the

server.

Client

applications

should

not

use

the

FakeSSLSocketFactory

class.
