EnvKeyStore

A Java library to create KeyStore and TrustStore objects in memory from environment variables.

Usage

Include this library in your application as a Maven depenency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.heroku.sdk</groupId>
  <artifactId>env-keystore</artifactId>
</dependency>

Creating a TrustStore

Creating a TrustStore requires that the certificate PEM be set as an environment variable. You pass that environment variable name to the EnvKeyStore.create method:

KeyStore ts = EnvKeyStore.createWithRandomPassword("TRUSTED_CERT").keyStore();

You can use the KeyStore like any other. For example, you might invoke a service with the trusted cert:

String tmfAlgorithm = TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm();
TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(tmfAlgorithm);
tmf.init(ts);

SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
sc.init(null, tmf.getTrustManagers(), new SecureRandom());
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());

String urlStr = "https://ssl.selfsigned.xyz";
URL url = new URL(urlStr);
HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
con.setDoInput(true);
con.setRequestMethod("GET");
con.getInputStream().close();

Creating a KeyStore

Creating a KeyStore requires that the key, certificate and password are all set as environment variables. You pass the environment variable names to the EnvKeyStore.create method:

KeyStore ks = EnvKeyStore.create("KEYSTORE_KEY", "KEYSTORE_CERT", "KEYSTORE_PASSWORD").keyStore();

You can use the KeyStore like any other. But you might also want to convert it to an input stream. For example, you might start a Ratpack server:

EnvKeyStore eks = EnvKeyStore.create("KEYSTORE_KEY", "KEYSTORE_CERT", "KEYSTORE_PASSWORD");

RatpackServer.start(s -> s
  .serverConfig(c -> {
    c.ssl(SSLContexts.sslContext(eks.toInputStream(), eks.password()));
  })
  .handlers(chain -> chain
    .all(ctx -> ctx.render("Hello!"))
  )
);
