What are the procedures for getting an evaluation of the product? What
support is there for certificate management, if any, in the product?

Thanks,

Sun's implementation has been bundled with several products already,
and some other licensees are similarly releasing products with it.
I understand you can license the implementation as source code right
now if you want.

Sun will have at least one version that supports setting the class which
the javax.net.SocketFactory.getDefault method returns, using a system
property. For example, that way one can arrange that the sockets returned
use the site's preferred scheme for firewall tunneling (perhaps SOCKS V5,
perhaps something else) when direct connections fail. Of course, such
firewall tunneling logic can be 100% Pure Java.
