SSLSocket and client public key issue

Hi All

I am writing a server that will use SSLSocket. I am new to this. I have created the server private key, public key, dummy client private key, public key. Now the problem is that to create a SSLSocket i am using the client public key which i created, but the problem is that in mycase all clients will have their own public - private key. So basically i have no clue as to how to integrate all those public keys in my program.

If anyone can give any pointers in this issue.

Thanks and Regards

Here is a part of code that uses the keystore

Variables

private String SKEYSTORE="D:\\eclipsetest\\FDRTest\\certificates\\server\\client.public";

private String CKEYSTORE="D:\\eclipsetest\\FDRTest\\certificates\\client\\server.private";

privatechar[] KEYSTOREPW="123456".toCharArray();

these lines are from the init method that initialises the server socket

Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());

KeyStore serverkeystore = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");

KeyStore clientkeystore=KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");

serverkeystore.load(new FileInputStream(SKEYSTORE), KEYSTOREPW);

clientkeystore.load(new FileInputStream(CKEYSTORE), KEYSTOREPW);

TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");

tmf.init(serverkeystore);

KeyManagerFactory kmf=KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");

kmf.init(clientkeystore,"123456".toCharArray());

SSLContext sslc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");

sslc.init(kmf.getKeyManagers(), tmf.getTrustManagers(),null);

ServerSocketFactory ssf = sslc.getServerSocketFactory();

SSLServerSocket serverSocket =(SSLServerSocket)

ssf.createServerSocket(portnumber);

serverSocket.setNeedClientAuth(true);
