One-Way SSL connection from the client is enabled without providing truststore

Products

• VMware Tanzu Gemfire

Issue/Introduction

When enabling One-Way SSL connection from Native Client 9.x with VMware Gemfire Cluster by setting ssl-enabled=true, the Native Client application is able to establish SSL connection with the server without providing the trusted certificate key on the client side.

Environment

Product Version: 9.2

Resolution

This is a known issue reported in GEMNC-459, which is being fixed and will be released in the next version of Native Client 9.2.x.

A quick workaround is to upgrade to Native Client 10.x, which does not have this issue.
