Proxies

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

Java HTTP clients (HTPURLConnection) can use a limited functionality of
the system proxy. If you use Applet/JWS it is also configured on the
cotnrol panel.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/net/proxies.html

You can also access system key and trust stores (with limited
functionality). You would use storeType=Windows-MY or Windows-root:

C:> keytool -list -storetype Windows-MY

Keystore-Typ: Windows-MY
Keystore-Provider: SunMSCAPI


PNRP (Naming), PrivateKeyEntry, Zertifikat-Fingerprint (SHA1):
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx..
BitLocker, trustedCertEntry, Zertifikat-Fingerprint (SHA1):
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx...
Eckenfels. Bernd, PrivateKeyEntry, Zertifikat-Fingerprint (SHA1):
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx..
...

Greetings
Bernd
