    Q: Authentication with X.509 Certs on Jboss AS7

    kohai.raul

      Hi!!

       

      I'm new on jboss AS7 and into this forum!!! (thanks to all for your help). I would like to know how to authenticate users based on X.509 Certs ("citizen" modus). I'm experiencing problems trying to translate my "old" way from 5.0.1GA to the new AS7.

       

      Everything I did into Jboss 5.0.1GA was the following:

       

      1 - To copy server.keystore and my-truststore.jks to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf.

      2 - To edit $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml, adding a Connector:

       

      <Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
      port="8443" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
      scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="true"
      keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/server.keystore"
      keystorePass="mypass" sslProtocol = "TLS" truststoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/my-truststore.jks" truststorePass="mypass" />
      

      3 - To copy 2 files to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy. These files are:

       

      - certauth-service.xml -

      <server>
      <mbean code="org.jboss.security.plugins.JaasSecurityDomain" name="jboss.security:service=SecurityDomain">
      <constructor>
      <arg type="java.lang.String" value="certauthSecurity"></arg>
      </constructor>
      <attribute name="KeyStoreURL">truststore-catcert.jks</attribute>
      <attribute name="KeyStorePass">changeit</attribute>
      <depends>jboss.security:service=JaasSecurityManager</depends>
      </mbean>
      </server>
      

       

      -certauth-citizen-jboss-beans.xml -

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0">
      <application-policy xmlns="urn:jboss:security-beans:1.0" name="certauthSecurity">
      <authentication>
      <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.BaseCertLoginModule" flag="required" >
      <module-option name="password-stacking">useFirstPass</module-option>
      <module-option name="securityDomain">java:/jaas/certauthSecurity</module-option>
      <module-option name="verifier">myCertificateVerifierClass</module-option>
      </login-module>
      </authentication>
      </application-policy>
      </deployment>
      

       

      4 - To copy jar file which contains myCertificateVerifierClass to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib.

       

      5 - Into my  $WEBAPP_HOME/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <jboss-web>
      <security-domain>java:/jaas/certauthCiutadaSecurity</security-domain>
      </jboss-web>
      

       

      6- Into my $WEBAPP_HOME/WEB-INF/web.xml

      <security-constraint>
      <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>Protected Area</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
      <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
      <http-method>DELETE</http-method>
      <http-method>GET</http-method>
      <http-method>POST</http-method>
      <http-method>PUT</http-method>
      </web-resource-collection>
      <auth-constraint>
      <role-name>*</role-name>
      </auth-constraint>
      <user-data-constraint>
      <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
      </user-data-constraint>
      </security-constraint>
      <login-config>
      <auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method>
      <realm-name>Realm Example</realm-name>
      </login-config>
      <security-role>
      <description>No roles based</description>
      <role-name>*</role-name>
      </security-role>
      

       

      And with AS7, I tried:

       

      1 - server.keystore and my-truststore.jks copied to standalone/configuration

      2 - Adding into standalone.xml

       

      after extensions block:

      <system-properties>
              <property name="javax.net.ssl.trustStore" value="mypathtol/standalone/configuration/my-truststore.jks"/>
              <property name="javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword" value="mypass"/>
          </system-properties>
      

       

      Into subsystem xmlns=urn:jboss:domain:security:1.1:

       

      <security-domain name="certauthSecurity">
                        <authentication>
                              <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.BaseCertLoginModule" flag="required">
                                 <module-option name="securityDomain" value="java://jaas/certauthSecurity"/>
                                  <module-option name="verifier" value="myCertificateVerifierClass"/>
                                  <module-option name="password-stacking" value="useFirstPass"/>
                              </login-module>
                          </authentication> 
       <jsse keystore-password="mypass"
       keystore-url="/mypathto/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/configuration/server.keystore"
       truststore-password="mypass"
       truststore-url="/mypathto/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/configuration/my-truststore.jks"
       client-auth="true"/>
      </security-domain>
      

      Into subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1", default-host:

       

      <connector name="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" socket-binding="https" secure="true">
                      <ssl name="ssl" password="mypass" certificate-key-file="/mypaththo/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/configuration/server.keystore" protocol="TLSv1" verify-client="true"/>
                  </connector>
      

       

      3 - Copied certauth-service.xml and certauth-citizen-jboss-beans.xml "as is", to standalone/deployment

       

      4 - Copied my CertificateVerifier jar to standalone/lib

       

      5 - My webapp with jboss-web.xml and web.xml as explained before.

       

      And when I try to boot, all I can to see is ...

      Could anyone help me to understand how to proceed with AS7 to authenticate users as explained ??

       

      Best Regards!
