    KERBEROS AUTHENTICATION INTEGRATION FOR REMOTING

    tmfjr

      Hello,

       

      I am following these instructions here: Chapter 3. Additional Features - Red Hat Customer Portal

       

      Specifically, I am trying to follow section 3.3 and get Kerberos working with a remoting application.

       

      My standalone.xml looks like the example in the documentation. My service principal, keytab and user work, since I can follow section 3.2 and login through the management interface.

       

         <security-realm name="krbRealm">

          <server-identities>

           <kerberos>

            <keytab principal="remote/tmf-is3-sec.nsonet.com@NSONET.COM" path="tmfkrbrem.keytab" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir" debug="true"/>

           </kerberos>

          </server-identities>

          <authentication>

           <kerberos remove-realm="true"/>

           <!--properties path="application-roles.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir"/-->

          </authentication>

                      <authorization>

                          <properties path="application-roles.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir"/>

                      </authorization>   

         </security-realm>

       

          <security-domain name="krb-remoting-domain">

            <authentication>

           <login-module code="Remoting" flag="optional">

             <module-option name="password-stacking" value="useFirstPass"/>

           </login-module>

           <login-module code="RealmDirect" flag="required">

             <module-option name="password-stacking" value="useFirstPass"/>

             <module-option name="realm" value="krbRealm"/>

           </login-module>

            </authentication>

            <mapping>

             <mapping-module code="SimpleRoles" type="role">

              <module-option name="testuser" value="Users"/>

             </mapping-module>

            </mapping>

          </security-domain>

       

              <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:remoting:3.0">

                  <endpoint/>

         <http-connector name="http-remoting-connector" connector-ref="default" security-realm="krbRealm"/>

              </subsystem>

       

      I am using sample client code based on the client shown here: [JBEAP-715] EJB authentication via Kerberos does not work with wildfly-security-api - JBoss Issue Tracker

              // Remoting
              Context context = null;
              try {
                 System.setProperty("javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly", "false");
                  System.setProperty("java.util.logging.manager", "java.util.logging.LogManager");
                  System.setProperty("java.util.logging.config.file", "logging.properties");
                  System.setProperty("java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level", "TRACE");
                  Properties props = new Properties();

                  props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory");
                  props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "http-remoting://tmf-is3-sec.nsonet.com:8080");
                  props.put("jboss.naming.client.ejb.context", true);

                  props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");
                  props.put("remote.connection.main.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS","true");

                  props.put("remote.connection.main.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED", "false");
                  props.put("remote.connection.main.connect.options.org.jboss.remoting3.RemotingOptions.SASL_PROTOCOL", "remote");
                 
                  context = new InitialContext(props);
              } catch (Exception e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
              }
             
              tmfService tmfBean = (tmfService) context.lookup("tmf-app/com.mentor.tmf.bean//tmfBean!com.mentor.tmf.api.internal.tmfService");
              tmfRequest req = new tmfRequest("First test");
              req.print();
             
              tmfResponse resp = tmfBean.firstOperation(req);
              resp.print();
          }

       

      Here is my bean:

      @Stateless
      @Remote(tmfService.class)
      @SecurityDomain("krb-remoting-domain")
      @RolesAllowed("Users")
      public class tmfBean implements tmfService {

          public tmfBean() {
              // nothing here
          }

       

          @Override
          public tmfResponse firstOperation(tmfRequest req) {       
              System.out.println("tmfBean gets request  <" + req.getMyData() + ">\n");       
              tmfResponse rval = new tmfResponse(req.getMyData() + " MODIFIED");
              return rval;
          }
         
      }

       

      I get these errors on the client: (login is successful)

      Any assistance would be appreciated. We cannot find any documentation on how to authenticate a client with Kerberos to access an EJB.

       

      thanks,

          I found the solution. Basically the service principal needs to have both remoting/... and remote/.. in the name for the same account.

           

          I only had "remote/..." in one account and "remoting/..." in another test account. I deleted the duplicate test account an added "remoting/..." to the service account.

           

              C:>setspn -a remoting/tmf-is3-sec.nsonet.com tmfkrbrem
              Registering ServicePrincipalNames for CN=tmf krbrem.,CN=Users,DC=nsonet,DC=com
                      remoting/tmf-is3-sec.nsonet.com
              Updated object

           

          The result should look like this:

           

              C:>setspn -l tmfkrbrem
              Registered ServicePrincipalNames for CN=tmf krbrem.,CN=Users,DC=nsonet,DC=com:
                      remoting/tmf-is3-sec.nsonet.com
                      remote/tmf-is3-sec.nsonet.com

           

          Then I created a new keytab, but this may not be needed.

           

              C:>ktpass -princ remote/tmf-is3-sec.nsonet.com@NSONET.COM -pass Test1234 -mapuser NSONET\tmfkrbrem -
              ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL -crypto AES128-SHA1 -kvno 0 -out C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\tmfkrbrem.keytab

              Key created.
              Output keytab to C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\tmfkrbrem.keytab:
