B4J Question Switch to SSL connection

jmon · Mar 7, 2016

Hello,

My server is very similar to this example (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/simple-multi-user-chat-demo.35996/). I am trying to switch to SSL, but I have no clue on how to do it.

If I change this line (141 in the SimpleClient):

B4X:

sckServer.Initialize("sckServer")

to:

B4X:

sckServer.InitializeSSL("sckServer", null, "")

I have 2 errors :

javax.net.ssl.exception: Unrecognized SSL Message, plaintext connection?

and

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The method shutdownImput() is not supported in SSLSocket

Thank you for your help
Jmon.

Why aren't you creating a real server solution? It will be much simpler and will work better.

javax.net.ssl.exception: Unrecognized SSL Message, plaintext connection?

Seems like you are connecting with a regular socket instead of a SSLSocket.

I think it's because I built my server with one of the first versions of B4j, and never switched to the newest solutions. I guess I will do that, and change my code.

Thank you.

What do you mean by 'real server solution'? Is there a better way to develop a server app where clients need to connect using sockets?

A server implemented based on jServer library (rather than working with raw sockets).
