    SSLPeerUnverifiedException "Error getting client certs" jbos

    rme

      Basically, can not get jboss https to work.
      It is not a browser issue since it can get https pages
      from a vast number of website - its a jboss config issue.

      Using JBoss-3.2.5

      In
      jboss/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml





      Note: 1) if one does not set the "SSLImplementation"
      then it assumse one is using the "puretsl" implementation and if
      one does not have it around, then one gets a class not found issue, and
      2) the attribute name MUST be "SSLImplementation", it can not be, for
      example, "sslImplementation" because jboss does not match setter/getter
      methods by first lower-casing both strings ... no, jboss only lower-cases
      the first character of the attribute name in the xml file....

      Near the top of the log, the Digester reads all of the attributes:

      2004-12-06 16:45:42,036 DEBUG [BeanUtils] jboss.web:service=WebServer
      EmbeddedCatalina4.1.x -
      BeanUtils.populate(org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteServerSocketFactory@48f675,
      {protocol=TLS, keystorePass=tc-ssl, clientAuth=false,
      SSLImplementation=org.apache.tomcat.util.net.jsse.JSSEImplementation,
      keystoreFile=/usr/local/ED/app/jboss/server/cs/conf/server.keystore,
      className=org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteServerSocketFactory})
      From the log I get:

      Note that the keystore was picked up from the jboss-service.xml
      file.
      Also, note that the "clientAuth" was not picked up!!!!!!!

      I assume that this is printed by code in the class
      org/apache/coyote/tomcat4/CoyoteConnector.java:
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "jkHome",
      System.getProperty("catalina.base"));

      // Set attributes
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "port", "" + port);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "maxThreads",
      "" + maxProcessors);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "minSpareThreads",
      "" + minProcessors);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "maxSpareThreads",
      "" + maxSpareProcessors);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "backlog",
      "" + acceptCount);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "tcpNoDelay",
      "" + tcpNoDelay);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "soLinger",
      "" + connectionLinger);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "soTimeout",
      "" + connectionTimeout);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "timeout",
      "" + connectionUploadTimeout);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "serverSoTimeout",
      "" + serverSocketTimeout);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "disableUploadTimeout",
      "" + disableUploadTimeout);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "maxKeepAliveRequests",
      "" + maxKeepAliveRequests);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "tomcatAuthentication",
      "" + tomcatAuthentication);
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "compression",
      compression);
      if (address != null) {
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "address",
      address);
      }

      // Configure secure socket factory
      if (factory instanceof CoyoteServerSocketFactory) {
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "secure",
      "" + true);
      CoyoteServerSocketFactory ssf =
      (CoyoteServerSocketFactory) factory;
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "algorithm",
      ssf.getAlgorithm());
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "clientauth",
      ssf.getClientAuth());
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "keystore",
      ssf.getKeystoreFile());
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "randomfile",
      ssf.getRandomFile());
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "rootfile",
      ssf.getRootFile());

      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "keypass",
      ssf.getKeystorePass());
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "keytype",
      ssf.getKeystoreType());
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "protocol",
      ssf.getProtocol());
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler,
      "sSLImplementation",
      ssf.getSSLImplementation());
      } else {
      IntrospectionUtils.setProperty(protocolHandler, "secure",
      "" + false);
      }


      Again, note that the "clientauth" value is not printed.

      Finally, when the brower is pointed at:

      https://myhost:50443/jmx-console

      the following appears in the log:

      2004-12-06 16:46:58,298 DEBUG [JSSE14Support] - Error getting client certs

      If you do not have logging set to DEBUG, all you get is the "MAPPING"
      INFO log ...


      So, the Http11Processor in its "action" method is has been passed
      the value "ActionCode.ACTION_REQ_SSL_CERTIFICATE".

      Please, whats going on?
      How does one tell jboss to look at the "clientAuth=false" attribute?

      Thanks



      One would think that accessing JBoss via https would be easier to configure.

          Try it again:
          Connector className = "org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
          address="${jboss.bind.address}"
          port = "50443"
          scheme = "https"
          secure = "true"
          >
          Factory className
          = "org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteServerSocketFactory"
          keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/server.keystore"
          keystorePass="mypassword"
          clientAuth="false"
          SSLImplementation="org.apache.tomcat.util.net.jsse.JSSEImplementation"
          protocol = "TLS"/>
          Connector>
