Almost all internet sites are secured, most publicly, some privatized requiring user x509 Certificates. Eclipse needs to have the ability to utilize keystores and truststores to provide SSLcontext.
Looking to add UI for a PKI selection in package; package org.eclipse.ui.internal.net.auth Looks to me like the place to put it?
Yes, this seems like the right package where to add authentication features.
I pulled a fork and began adding in some code. Its going to be a lot of work! I have a lot of highly customized code that I will need to make generic.
For my custom PKI implementation I used; import org.eclipse.equinox.security.storage.ISecurePreferences; import org.eclipse.equinox.security.storage.SecurePreferencesFactory; to contain all of the pki related information; including, but not limited to; Passwords, Pins and physical locations. However, that may not be the best solution for this implementation. I see references to import org.eclipse.core.resources.IStorage and was wondering if that is an acceptable alternative or if its as secure? Any help, ideas, comments greatly appreciated.
