Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
NO_FALLBACK	Disable the fallback mechanism.
ONLY_END_ENTITY	Only check the revocation status of end-entity certificates.
PREFER_CRLS	Prefer CRLs to OSCP.
SOFT_FAIL	Allow revocation check to succeed if the revocation status cannot be determined for one of the following reasons: The CRL or OCSP response cannot be obtained because of a network error.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description

Enum Constant Details

ONLY_END_ENTITY

public static final PKIXRevocationChecker.Option ONLY_END_ENTITY

Only check the revocation status of end-entity certificates.

PREFER_CRLS

public static final PKIXRevocationChecker.Option PREFER_CRLS

Prefer CRLs to OSCP. The default behavior is to prefer OCSP. Each PKIX implementation should document further details of their specific preference rules and fallback policies.

NO_FALLBACK

public static final PKIXRevocationChecker.Option NO_FALLBACK

Disable the fallback mechanism.

SOFT_FAIL

public static final PKIXRevocationChecker.Option SOFT_FAIL

Allow revocation check to succeed if the revocation status cannot be determined for one of the following reasons:

• The CRL or OCSP response cannot be obtained because of a network error.
• The OCSP responder returns one of the following errors specified in section 2.3 of RFC 2560: internalError or tryLater.

Note that these conditions apply to both OCSP and CRLs, and unless the NO_FALLBACK option is set, the revocation check is allowed to succeed only if both mechanisms fail under one of the conditions as stated above. Exceptions that cause the network errors are ignored but can be later retrieved by calling the getSoftFailExceptions method.

Method Details

values

public static PKIXRevocationChecker.Option[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static PKIXRevocationChecker.Option valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
