Maybe you should get a Java ORB that supports SSL...

You can use a serverReceiveRequest interceptor to get the peer address.
In omniORB 4.2.0, the interceptor info itself has a peeraddress()
method. With omniORB 4.1.x, you have to get hold of the connection
object to call its peeraddress() method:

CORBA::Boolean
peerInterceptor(omniInterceptors::serverReceiveRequest_T::info_T& info)
{
  const char* address;

  // In omniORB 4.2.0:
  address = info.peeraddress();

  // Or in omniORB 4.1.x:
  giopStrand& strand = info.giop_s.strand();
  address = strand.connection->peeraddress();

  // Now do something with address, perhaps put it in per-thread storage
}


The address will be of the form "giop:tcp:<ip>:<port>" or
"giop:ssl:<ip>:<port>".

Cheers,

Duncan.
