We are using our own JSSE Provider implementation for TLS to add support for HTTPS with preshared key to one http connector, while the others still use the default JSSE provider.

In JBoss 5 we added sslProtocol="RFC4279", while RFC4279 is the name of our provider, to one Connector entry in the file server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml. This option is not available in JBoss 7.1 any more and we could not find a way to make one connector use our provider while the others are using the default one.

To fix this issue for use we used the attached patch. We would like to get this patch into the next version of JBoss, so we do not have to modify the source code by our self any more. This patch was tested with JBoss 7.1.2, but it still applies against the master branch. If we should do any changed to the patch or if you want to get it in an other form please inform us.

With this patch we are able to specify our JSSE provider like this:

<connector name="httpspsk" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" socket-binding="httpspsk" secure="true">
  <ssl name="ssl" key-alias="intended purpose ssl test from bremen online services" password="123456" certificate-key-file="${jboss.server.config.dir}/governikus_ssl.jks" protocol="ALL" keystore-type="JKS" ssl_protocol="RFC4279"/>
</connector>
