      Coverity found possible NPE occurence, as according to javadoc for SSLSession().getLocalCertificates() may return null [1], but X500.asX509CertificateArray can't consume null parameter and NPE will be thrown in that case.

      ServerAuthenticationContext.java
       
                } else if (callback instanceof SSLCallback) {
                    SSLCallback sslCallback = (SSLCallback) callback;

                    try {
                        peerCerts = X500.asX509CertificateArray(sslCallback.getSslSession().getPeerCertificates());
                    } catch (SSLPeerUnverifiedException e) {
                        log.trace("Peer unverified", e);
                        peerCerts = null;
                    }
                    serverCerts = X500.asX509CertificateArray(sslCallback.getSslSession().getLocalCertificates());
                    handleOne(callbacks, idx + 1);
                }
