BEA WebLogic Server 9.0 API Reference

weblogic.security.SSL
Interface HostnameVerifier

public interface HostnameVerifier

HostnameVerifier provides a callback mechanism so that implementers of this interface can supply a policy on whether the connection to the URL's hostname should be allowed. The policy can be certificate-based or may depend on other authentication schemes.

To specify an instance of this interface to be used by the server, set the SSL.HostName Verifier field on the SSL tab under Server Configuration in the Administration Console to the name of a class that implements this interface. The specified class must have a public no-arg constructor.
