Request to add a configuration option that allows STSClient to use the
requester's X509Certificate as the SubjectConfirmation KeyInfo data within
RequestSecurityToken messages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-2928
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2928
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.3, 2.2.10
Reporter: Rich Newcomb
Fix For: 2.3, 2.2.10
Request to expand the CXF STSClient to support a configuration option that
enables an X509Certificate to be used as the saml:SubjectConfirmation KeyInfo
element when making a WS-Trust RequestSecurityToken request.
Rationale is as follows:
1. The SAML 1.1 specification is flexible with regard to the type of
XMLSignature KeyInfo (ds:KeyInfo) that may provided in a
saml:SubjectConfirmation element to support the holder-of-key confirmation
method.
2. Some relying parties require an X509 Certificate to be provided in the
assertion confirmation data in order to perfom validation. For example, any
relying party that uses WSS4J version 1.5.8 or earlier for SAML assertion
validation (with holder-of-key conf) requires the X509 Certificate to exist in
the subject confirmation data.
3. Accordingly, some STS implementations allow RequestSecurityToken ds:KeyInfo
element to optionally contain either a ds:X509Certificate or the corresponding
ds:KeyValue for the public key within the RequestSecurityToken message.
