public X500PrivateCredential(X509Certificate cert, PrivateKey key) { if (cert == null || key == null ) throw new IllegalArgumentException(); this.cert = cert; this.key = key; this.alias=null; } Creates an X500PrivateCredential that associates an X.509 certificate, a private key and the KeyStore alias. Parameters: cert - X509Certificate key - PrivateKey for the certificate Throws: IllegalArgumentException - if either cert or key is null exception: IllegalArgumentException - if either cert or key is null
public X500PrivateCredential(X509Certificate cert, PrivateKey key, String alias) { if (cert == null || key == null|| alias == null ) throw new IllegalArgumentException(); this.cert = cert; this.key = key; this.alias=alias; } Creates an X500PrivateCredential that associates an X.509 certificate, a private key and the KeyStore alias.
