Hello all,
I have this problem when upgrading from Axis2/Rampart 1.6.0 to Axis2/Rampart
1.7.4. Our security provider is NSS which is the FIPS compliant PKCS11
certificate keystore. This worked fine with Axis2/Rampart 1.6.0 but with 1.7.4
it does not work. The problem is that when trying to create a message
signature for a SOAP message, Rampart fails to read the signing certificate
from the PKCS11 certificate database. The exception is below.
Does anyone have any insight about this problem? It might be in Axis/Rampart
or WSS4J which was upgraded from 1.5.11 to 1.6.16.
I tried changing the Rampart configuration to use a JKS keystore instead of the
PKCS11 keystore and then it worked properly.
The following exception occurs when processing an outbound SOAP message
response, trying to create a signature part in the header. See the 'Caused by'
at the end.

Our Rampart configuration is as follows;
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.provider = SunPKCS11-NSSfips
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.cert.provider = (blank)
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.load.cacerts = false
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.type=PKCS11
cryptoConfigProvider = org.apache.ws.security.components.crypto.Merlin
Thanks
