[MOBY-dev] Java tools and BioMOBY over HTTPS?

[Tom Oinn]

Hi all,

We've had Taverna working for HTTPS web services so it should be fine 
for the MOBY operations. You need to check that the certificate has a 
valid signature chain and that the name of the entity in the certificate 
matches the hostname - we had issues with a certificate from a server in 
china that the java security framework rejected because the (I think) CN 
part of the DN in the cert wasn't the same as the hostname of the endpoint.
