Re: OFBIZ-10307: Navigate from a domain to another with automated signed in authentication

2018-08-15 Thread Jacques Le Roux

Hi Jinghai,

The problem with the token master secret key is to guarantee its secrecy at max.

We already discussed different solutions at https://s.apache.org/7yyR and 
https://s.apache.org/IBDM

How is Redis more secure than Postgres for storing values?

Thanks

Jacques

Dear Jacques,

On how to store the Tokens, as a token is a key, value is the UserLogin entity 
and/or other info, a key-value db, Redis[1] is a good choice. Redis is no.7 in 
db ranking in Aug 2018[2], becomes more and more popular. Goldman Sachs 
invested Redis team in last year[3]. It's common view now in China that Redis 
is better than any others including Gemfire of Pivotal, the railway ticket 
system of China replaced its 3 Gemfire clusters with 3 Redis clusters last year 
and then there are much less complains on how difficulties to buy spring 
festival tickets.

Mr. Dai Haipeng contributed a Redis component in Jira[4].

主题: OFBIZ-10307: Navigate from a domain to another with automated signed in 
authentication

Hi,

Some time ago I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10307.

I asked for reviews but only Taher answered and he asked to know the goal of 
this new feature.

It was actually developed for a client who needed to get from one OFBiz 
instance on a server (on a domain) to another OFBiz instance on another
server (on another domain) without having to sign up between the 2 while 
keeping things secure.

There could be many reasons why you want to split OFBiz application on servers. 
In their case it was for performance issues.

The technology used is as secure as possible. Like OAuth 2.0 it uses a token 
but it does not need a middle authorization server (think to  two-factor
authentication) because it's only for OFBiz instances of the same version.

To commit this work we need 1st to agree an commit the work done by Deepak at OFBIZ-9833 
"Token Based Authentication" that I use in my last patch.

For me there is only one question outstanding: how to store the Token secret. 
But this should not prevent us to commit Deepak's work.

It's now a long time (9 months) since I started this work. And my last patch is 
ready for a month.

I crossed several issues which are now all resolved. So please review and 
answer to this thread.

Without negative comments well argumented I'll commit both OFBIZ-9833 and 
OFBIZ-10307 in a week. You can always test and review later, we use RTC.

Also a veto on a commit is always possible... Of course, as ever, a good 
consensus is preferred.

Let me know if you need more information about the goal. For the technical 
details I think I already provided them the in OFBIZ-10307.

Shipping data duplicated

2018-08-15 Thread Jacques Le Roux

Hi,

Is there a reason why Shipping data are now duplicated in trunk at

    applications/commonext/data/ShippingData.xml

and

    /applications/datamodel/data/demo/OrderDemoData.xml

This is not the case with current stable

Jacques
