Description

When only certAlias is specified in tlsClientParameters with no keyManagers a NullPointerException is thrown regardless the keystore is specified using javax.net.ssl.keyStore system property or not.

In a use case I have I want my client to be able to specify a certAlias in configuration file but this is expected to be used only when the server actually requires client certificate and a keystore with the given alias is specified using javax.net.ssl.keyStore system property.

I'd like to specify tlsClientParameters like:

<http:tlsClientParameters disableCNCheck="${disableCNCheck}">
    <sec:certAlias>${certAlias}</sec:certAlias>
</http:tlsClientParameters>
