Summary: TLS Authenticated Handshake and
Authentication/Authorization with JAAS by TLS Certificate
Key: CXF-5909
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5909
Project: CXF
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core
Reporter: Piotr Klimczak
Hi All!
I haven found such functionality in CXF, so I have created one.
So if there is anybody who see a value of doing JAAS authentication with TLS
Authenticated handshake certificate, then I can prepare patches to 3.x branch
and 2.x branch.
I already got this working, but more work need to be done (like unit tests)
before submitting a patch to Apache Community. So just want to be sure that my
work will not be wasted.
Once when I will receive a patch share request, I will prepare it and submit to
JIRA.
*Some description of Authentication/Authorization functionality*
Well when CXF is used with Mutual Authentication, client key is verified by
servlet container in background. So this layer is responsible for doing some
authentication. Then certificate seems to be wasted and client have to use
UserToken to authenticate again and let the authorization be done in future.
So the idea is to take some information from message like:
{code}
TLSSessionInfo tlsSessionInfo = message.get(TLSSessionInfo.class);
{code}
Extract for example a mail from certificate, then use JAAS to do authentication
and take roles assigned to this email to let the Authorization be done in
future.
So it is quite simple.
Waiting for feedback.
Once received a confirmation, will prepare patches with junit tests.
Greetings
Piotr Klimczak
