SecurityProxy.getValidUses()

Method

Declaration

int getValidUses()
  throws ConfigurationException

Purpose

Get the valid uses of certificates for this daemon.

Remarks

Each daemon component that supports the SecurityProxy interface uses certificates in up to three ways. This method returns a bit vector that describes the legitimate uses of certificates for the actual component.

The three constants defined for SecurityProxy correspond to positions in the bit vector. To determine whether a specific use applies to the component, probe the corresponding bit with Java’s bitwise AND (&) operator; for example:

if ( (SecurityProxy) myDmnProxy.getValidUses() & SecurityProxy.HTTPS
     != 0 {
           // My daemon supports certificates for HTTPS.
           ... }
