    How to get ws-security working for a soap-reference-binding (client, consumer)

    mae

      In my new SwitchYard-Application (Version: 1.1) i want to consume an extern soap-webservice with a reference and a soap-binding.

      But the remote soap-service is restricted for authenticated users only. The authentication is implemented by WS-Security (Username/Password are expected in the soap-headers)

      So the wsdl has the "wsp:PolicyReference"-tag and the corresponding "wsp:Policy"-tag, like described here: SOAP - SwitchYard - Project Documentation Editor

      But how to define username and password for WS-Secrutity?

      I tried a jaxws-config with "ws-security.username" and "ws-security.password" which i configured by "soap:endpointConfig" in the switchyard.xml.

      But "soap:endpointConfig" seems to be completely ignored on reference, because whatever i do getting only the following exception:

          I also tried "<soap:outInterceptors>" with class="org.apache.cxf.ws.security.wss4j.WSS4JOutInterceptor" but "<soap:outInterceptors>" seems to be ignored on SwitchYard-References (<sca:reference/>) exactly like "soap:endpointConfig" is ignored.

            Hi,

             

            My understanding is it's not supported yet. You have to wait for SWITCHYARD-2049 being implemented in SY 2.0.

              Hi Martin,

               

              I was facing to the similar issue some time ago. I just used a SAML assertion instead of credentials. My solution is to assemble security element by my own and then set it as a property, so it will be mapped as a message header.

               

                  @Inject

                  @Reference("OrderServiceExternal")

                  ReferenceInvoker invoker;

               

                  private ReferenceInvocation setSecurityHeader(ReferenceInvocation invocation) {

                      Element securityElement = null;

                      try {

                          securityElement = SAMLHelper.createSecurityElement(SAMLHelper.issueAssertionElement());

                      } catch (Exception e) {

                          e.printStackTrace();

                      }

               

                      // workaround

                      invocation

                              .getMessage()

                              .getContext()

                              .setProperty(

                                      "{http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd}security",

                                      securityElement);

               

                      return invocation;

                  }

               

                  @Override

                  public void processOneWay(SimpleOrder order) {

                      ReferenceInvocation invocation = invoker.newInvocation("processOneWay");

                      setSecurityHeader(invocation);

                      try {

                          invocation.invoke(order);

                      } catch (Exception e) {

                Just as I feared it.

                  Thank you for your example.

                  Finally i found a similarly workaround by using my own custom SOAPMessageComposer. Witch adds the security-header in the decompose-function by using the WSS4JOutInterceptor manually.

                  If somebody is interested, i will post more details.

                    Hello Martin.
                    I would be interessested in your workaround for this.

                    Since we can't wait for Switchyard V2.0 and need a solution ASAP.


                    Thank you!

                        Hi Martin,

                         

                        I am getting the exact same problem with exact same scenario. I was also using custom SOAPMessageComposer to add the security Headers in the message. However I was still getting the same exception. I tried your code in my MessageComposer  but no difference. Got the same exception ### org.apache.cxf.ws.policy.PolicyException: No username available #####

                        The only way to avoid this exception is to remove the <wsp:PolicyReference URI="#SecurityServicePolicy"/> entry from the WSDL of Reference Service .. But that is not a solution as we have to use the same WSDL as the Service Implementation. Are you using this entry in your Referece Service WSDL ? Also is it possible that you post the switchyard.xml content so that I can compare and see what is the difference ?

                         

                        Will appreciate your help.

                        Thanks.

                          No we have none <wsp:PolicyReference/>-tag in our WSDL anymore. It's not required because the custome-SoapWssMessageComposer should always add WS-Secrutity, regardless of whether there is <wsp:PolicyReference/>-tag in the WSDL.

                           

                          This is the relevant part of our switchyard.xml:

                          [...]

                          <sca:reference name="RemoteBaseBinding" multiplicity="0..n" promote="CamelComponent/BaseBinding">
                          <sca:interface.wsdl interface="base_wsdls/base.wsdl#wsdl.porttype(BASE)"/>
                          <soap:binding.soap name="Base">
                            <soap:messageComposer class="org.switchyard.message_composer.SoapWssMessageComposer" />
                            <soap:wsdl>wsdls/base.wsdl</soap:wsdl>
                            <soap:wsdlPort>BASEPort</soap:wsdlPort>
                            <soap:endpointAddress>http//HOST:PORT/base</soap:endpointAddress>
                          </soap:binding.soap>
                          </sca:reference>

                          [...]


                          Are you sure there are security Headers in the request-message?

                          You could see whats going on if you add the jboss-system-property: "org.apache.cxf.logging.enabled" with the value "true" (Maybe you have also to enable logging for org.apache.cxf.services=FINE)

                          Then search the jboss server.log for something like "org.apache.cxf.services", you should find the complete soap requests and responses.

                            Thanks Martin for your quick reply.

                             

                            I guess than this is the difference in WSDL. You dont have this tag <!--  wsp:PolicyReference URI="#SecurityServicePolicy"/ --> in your WSDL and as I said that if I commented out this tag from WSDL used by Reference Service , it works fine and send the message with correct Security Headers in the request added by my custom MessageComposer. And yes I have Enabled Message Trance enabled from the Domain tab of switchyard.xml. We also have CXF logging Interceptors setup so I have see all the request going in and out along with complete Switchyard Message logging.  There I can see the request I generate has correct Security Headers and it even goes and works perfectly if I just commented out that tag from the WSDL.

                            However, we are using common WSDL from common location for both Service Implementation as well as Reference Service.  Since this Service will also be used by external users we need that tags in the WSDL to enforce the Security for requests coming from web service users. And I dont think its good idea to have two different WSDL for the same web service. Red Hat support is not of much help as usual and they are just suggesting the work arounds which I already had figured.

                             

                            Anyway thanks again for your help I am gonna use the standalone soap client rather than Switchyard Reference Service. But than not sure what is the value of having a so called ESB in place. Very disappointing.
