Hello Leo,

I guess you can check the OpenCA::AC module and disable the check for
the xsrf token there. That should do the trick.

I am not convinced it is a good idea, though. If you have other security
mechanisms in place.. than it might be ok.. if not, then your PKI could
be subject to the attack.. if the OpenCA pages are accessible via the
<iframe> element.. that means I can request them directly if I know the
URL.. and that exposes you to all of the problems...

In future versions we could actually think about a configuration option
that allows for the xsrf to be disabled.. but another protection should
be in place...

Later,
Max

Hello,

We use OpenCA 0.9.x in a couple of university projects and we are very
pleased with it, having issued near 700 certificates for students and
professors for e-learning in the last three years.

We integrate many screens and forms (like the request form) in a public
web page (our pki portal) made with Joomla an its "wrapper" option
(allows to embeed an external page within the page body using the html
"<iframe>" element).

Now, we have tried the 1.0.2 version and we have seen that the "wrapper"
option doesn't work because the new OpenCA XSRF protection.

We need the "wrapper" option to integrate OpenCA forms with Joomla, but
tried to disable the XSRF protection and we didn't find how to do it.

How to disable XSRF or how to make work without disabling it? Any
suggestion, please?

Thank you very much
