Trust managers settings
This page enables you to view and set definitions for trust manager implementation settings. A trust manager is a class that gets invoked during an SSL handshake to make trust decisions about the remote end point. A default trust manager is used to validate the signature and expiration of the certificate. Custom trust managers can be plugged in to perform an extended certificate and hostname check.
