vCloud
Suite SDK provides mechanisms for creating remote stubs to give
clients access to
vCloud
Suite
services.
The sequence of tasks you must
follow to create a remote stub starts with creating a
ProtocolFactory. You
use the protocol factory object to create a
ProtocolConnection.
Connection objects provide the basis for creating stub interfaces
tovCloud
Suite
services.
When you establish a connection
to the
vCloud
Suite
Endpoint, you can create a
StubFactory object and
a
StubConfiguration
object. With these objects, you can create the remote stub for the
vCloud
Suite
service that you want to access.
The complete connection sequence
also includes SSL truststore support and a temporary
StubConfiguration that
you use for SAML token authentication and session creation.

SSL Handshake
|
The
vCloud
Suite
Endpoint (https://host/api) is
an SSL‐enabled service that requires client authentication during login. The
SSL connection relies on certificate verification supported by the Java
security architecture. The Java security architecture defines truststores for
SSL connections. A truststore contains vCenter Single Sign-On credentials. You
use a truststore to verify credentials from a
vCenter
Server
instance.
The
vCloud
Suite SDK for Java includes an SSL utility sample code that supports the
creation of a truststore for the HTTP connection,
com.vmware.vcloud.suite.samples.common.SslUtil.
Note
The
vCloud
Suite SDK for Java SSL utility creates an instance of the Java security
certificate class
X509TrustManager. This
instance declares an override client-side method,
checkServerTrusted,
that accepts all HTTPS certificates. This method is suitable only for
development environments. For a production environment, do not use the
X509TrustManager
override methods. Instead, set up a truststore for use by the default
X509TrustManager
implementation.
