Returns an appropriate JSSE SSLContext. This can be used to obtain an SSLSocketFactory.

The Grinder optimises client SSL processing to increase the number of simultaneous client threads it is reasonable to run. It uses an insecure source of random information, and does not perform checks on the certificates presented by a server. Do not use The Grinder to implement any SSL communication that you want to be secure.

Returns:

The SSL context.

Throws:

SSLContextFactory.SSLContextFactoryException - If the SSLContext could not be found/created.
