    Problem with openid example

    tazman

      I just built and deployed the openid example locally to test it. However, I always get an error: OpenID login rejected. The console prints:


      22:44:18,009 INFO  [ConsumerManager] Verifying authentication response...
      22:44:18,014 INFO  [ConsumerManager] Received positive auth response.
      22:44:18,019 ERROR [ConsumerManager] Return_To URL verification failed.


      I tested this with myOpenID and Google. Both fails. I'm not sure if it is because I'm using a local machine (localhost). Also, even though the URL is http://localhost/seam-openid/openid.seam, ReturnTo URL in the response coming from the provider is always like http://localhost:80/seam-openid/openid.seam.


      Any idea what is going wrong?

          localhost should not be the problem.  I tested the example with myopenid with myopenid.com.  Can you provide a more complete stack trace?

            Hi Norman!


            There is no exception to show. Everything works okay until it comes to check the return URL and it fails there with an info message.


            I think I know what the problem is:



            OpenId.java generates a return URL like http://127.0.0.1:80/seam-openid/openid.seam.
            Response comes to the URL at http://127.0.0.1/seam-openid/openid.seam.
            They are not equal, hence validation fails.




            Your OpenId.java has a method to construct the return URL:



            public String returnToUrl() {
                    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
                    String returnToUrl = "http://" + request.getServerName() + ":" + request.getServerPort() +  
                        context.getApplication().getViewHandler().getActionURL(context, "/openid.xhtml");
                    return returnToUrl;
                }




            When I change it and ignore the port number, it works. So it has definitely something to do with the default port number 80. Is your test server also running at port 80?

              Ah.  That makes sense because I've only tested on port 8080. I'll take a look at this later today or tomorrow at the latest.

                That's strange.  I just tried it on port 80 and it worked fine...



                11:30:58,490 INFO  [RealmVerifier] Return URL: http://localhost:80/seam-openid/openid.seam matches realm: http://localhost:80/seam-openid/openid.seam
                11:30:58,490 INFO  [RealmVerifier] Return URL: http://localhost:80/seam-openid/openid.seam matched discovered RP endpoint: http://localhost:80/seam-openid/openid.seam
                



                Can you post your log?

                  I'm experiencing the same problem where one URL has :80 and the other doesn't.  If I recall, the verification passes in RealmVerifier, as shown above, but fails in ConsumerManager.

                    I had to change the source for the picketlink-seam package in OpenIdSingleLoginReceiver.java


                    Basically, if the port doesn't exist and the protocol is HTTP, I add the port to the receiving URL before verification.


                    Line 91 code changed to



                                   URL uReceivingURL = null;
                                   String sReceivingURL;
                    
                                   try {
                                        uReceivingURL = new URL(receivingURL.toString());
                                        if (uReceivingURL.getPort() == -1
                                                  && uReceivingURL.getProtocol().equalsIgnoreCase(HTTP_PROTOCOL)) {
                                             uReceivingURL = new URL(uReceivingURL.getProtocol(),
                                                       uReceivingURL.getHost(), DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT, uReceivingURL
                                                                 .getFile());
                                        }
                                   } finally {
                                        if (uReceivingURL != null) {
                                             sReceivingURL = uReceivingURL.toExternalForm();
                                        } else {
                                             sReceivingURL = receivingURL.toString();
                                        }
                                   }
                    
                                   VerificationResult verification = openIdConsumerManager.verify(
                                             sReceivingURL, response, discovered);
