B4A Library [B4X] Client certificates with OkHttpUtils2 SSLContext-Kickstart

This is a B4A + B4J library.
This code uses JavaObject to access SSLContext-Kickstart SDK (v5.0.0): https://github.com/Hakky54/sslcontext-kickstart/tree/v5.0.0
License: Apache 2.

It allows configuring OkHttpUtils2 to use an external keystore and include client certificates.

B4X:
'Press Ctrl + B and add HU2_PUBLIC as a conditional symbol!
Private Sub SetSSLFactory (StoreDir As String, StoreFile As String, StorePassword As String)
    Dim hc As OkHttpClient = HttpUtils2Service.hc
    Dim builder As JavaObject = hc.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("sharedInit", Array("hc"))
    Dim sslfactoryBuilder As JavaObject
    sslfactoryBuilder = sslfactoryBuilder.InitializeStatic("nl.altindag.sslcontext.SSLFactory").RunMethod("builder", Null)
    Dim in As InputStream = File.OpenInput(StoreDir, StoreFile)
    Dim keystore As JavaObject
    keystore.InitializeStatic("java.security.KeyStore")
    Dim password As Object = StorePassword.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("toCharArray", Null) 'ignore
    Dim store As JavaObject = keystore.RunMethodJO("getInstance", Array("pkcs12"))
    store.RunMethod("load", Array(in, password)) 'ignore
 
    sslfactoryBuilder.RunMethod("withIdentityMaterial", Array(store, password))
    sslfactoryBuilder.RunMethod("withTrustMaterial", Array(store, password))
    'uncomment if need to disable http 2.
'    Dim protocol As JavaObject
'    protocol = protocol.InitializeStatic("okhttp3.Protocol").RunMethod("valueOf", Array("HTTP_1_1"))
'    Dim protocols As List = Array(protocol)
'    builder.RunMethod("protocols", Array(protocols))
 
    Dim sslfactory As JavaObject = sslfactoryBuilder.RunMethod("build", Null)
    Dim socketfactory As JavaObject = sslfactory.RunMethodJO("getSslContext", Null).RunMethod("getSocketFactory", Null)
    Dim trustmanager As JavaObject = sslfactory.RunMethodJO("getTrustManager", Null)
    builder.RunMethod("sslSocketFactory", Array(socketfactory, trustmanager.RunMethod("get", Null)))
    builder.RunMethod("hostnameVerifier", Array(sslfactory.RunMethod("getHostnameVerifier", Null)))
    hc.As(JavaObject).SetField("client", builder.RunMethod("build", Null))
End Sub

Add to main module:
B4X:
#AdditionalJar: slf4j-api-1.7.30
#AdditionalJar: sslcontext-android


You need to add a Java keystore file to the project. The keystore will include the certificates. The format should be pkcs12 (not JKS).
The exact steps to create the keystore depend on the certificates format.

I can confirm that this code works. It identifies the client using the client certificate.

I've converted the pfx file with:
B4X:
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore 1.pfx -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore clientcert.jks -deststoretype pkcs12
And then imported the intermediate and root certificate using https://keystore-explorer.org/downloads.html
