Digest auth is broken
---------------------
Key: CXF-2100
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2100
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Transports
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Christof Harnischmacher
When trying to connect to virtualearth webservice using cxf I found some issues
in the cxf-rt-transports-http artifact regarding digest authentication
1) "authSupplier" configuration option is missing in org.apache.cxf.transport
.http.spring.HttpConduitBeanDefinitionParser#mapSpecificElements, so it's not
possible to configure a DigestAuthSupplier via cxf.xml.
2) In org.apache.cxf.transport.http.DigestAuthSupplier the method getPassword
returns the username and vice versa.
3) In org.apache.cxf.transport.http.DigestAuthSupplier the 'opaque' field is
always send to server even it was NULL, which results in 'opaque="null"'.
RFC 2069 says:
opaque
A string of data, specified by the server, which should be
returned by the client unchanged. It is recommended that this
string be base64 or hexadecimal data. This field is a
"quoted-string" as specified in section 2.2 of the HTTP/1.1
specification [2].
So I think the correct handling is to skip the opaque field, when no
opaque-field
was sent by the server.
4) After a while the nonce may become stale, so a new digest has to be created.
To achieve that, every request against an digest authenticated server needs to
be
cached and chunking has to be disabled to replay the request whith recalculated
digest.
5) org.apache.cxf.transport.http.HTTPConduit#setHeadersByAuthorizationPolicy: If
an authSupplier is present and a authString was generated, the method should
return
even when the authString is NULL, instead of creating a basic auth authorization
header.
I included patches, which allow me to connect against virtualearth token
service.
The wsdl can be found here:
https://staging.common.virtualearth.net/find-30/common.asmx?WSDL,
but you have to be authenticated to get it.
