Camel CXF consumer using basic authentication over HTTPS

Question

I am trying to workout how to configure a CXF consumer to use https, but use basic authentication.

I presume we need to attach our certificate using the httpj:engine-factory but whenever I try and do that the server generated the follwing error:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: null cert chain

EDIT: I believe what is happening is that the server is requesting a client certificate, but the client does not send one. For "One Directional" SLL, I don't think the server should be asking for a certificate from the client.

How do I prevent the server from requesting a client certificate?

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

You need to install certificate in your JVM trust store. Please go through below link: How to solve javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException Error?

I am not try to connect to a service using one-way SSL. I am trying to provide a web service that uses one-way SSL. – paulc Oct 20 '16 at 22:10

It turned out to be quite simple. In the httpj:engine-factory, there is a setting for client authentication.

 <sec:clientAuthentication want="false" required="false"/>

This controls whether the server requests a certificate from the client. I had copied this from samples with Bi-Directional SSL and these values were set to true.
