Hello again,
Sorry to re-visit this thread again, but I am still not clear if we reached
any conclusion! Do we just use Acegi or use it with WSSJ?
Can some one please post a complete example - With all the configurations
etc? It will be awesome!
Thanks
Matt

Re: CXF+ACEGI + Anybody out there?
Posted by Juan José Vázquez Delgado <ju...@gmail.com>.
Hi all,
I love CXF, but IMHO the ws-security module is not good enough solved. I
suspect the responsible is wss4j wich is not too much powerful.
I´m thinking in using the glassfish XWSS (https://xwss.dev.java.net/) in a
similar way to Spring Web Services (
http://static.springframework.org/spring-ws/site/). With XWSS you can
setting handlers and validators like for instance an Acegi Handler.
BR,
Juanjo.

We started some discussion the other day about CXF+Acegi out there the
other day, but hadn't seen anything since. Any discussion after I sent
the source code or my findings with integrating the two?

Re: CXF+ACEGI + Anybody out there?
Posted by Eric Miles <er...@kronos.com>.
Actually, here is the code. Attached is the WSS4J callback class and
the CXF interceptor that uses the Acegi authentication manager for
authentication.
Pretty simple and straight forward. If you look at the callback
handler, you can see my comment regarding the WSS4J engine. I do have
one concern in that this solution might not have worked for a digest UT.
I'll have to revisit as it has been several months since we first looked
at it.
However, this is a spring board for any discussions. (Spring pun not
intended)

Eric,
Do you mind posting a complete example. May be we can have a very
constructive discussions based on that.

Re: CXF+ACEGI + Anybody out there?
Posted by Eric Miles <er...@kronos.com>.
It was a bit of extra coding, as there is some dis join between what
WS-Security wants to do and what Acegi wants to do (at least for
UsernameToken authentication). We also have a business requirement due
to some legacy data setup that proved to be problematic with WSS4J.
WSS4J wants you to return the password and it perform the password
comparison. Acegi security also wants to perform the password
comparison. Two separate process that you're trying to integrate that
both want to run the show...problem there :) Our business requirement
issue with WSS4J is we keep our passwords hashed in our DB. Allowing
WSS4J to perform our authentication would never work as we need to hash
the password in the token and compare that against the hashed password
in the DB. From my understanding, I can not change this process with
WSS4J. Acegi is nice in this regard as it allows you to provide a
password encoder that it will use against the provided password.
With all these factors, our strategy was to allow WSS4J to process the
UsernameToken to provide a Principal object with a username/password
that was provided in the header. Then after the processing for WSS4J we
have our own interceptor in the interceptor chain that will use the
Principal object to delegate authentication to the Acegi authentication
manager. Here's a snippet of our interceptor (apologize if formatting
turns out crappy):
// get the principal object
WSUsernameTokenPrincipal principal = (WSUsernameTokenPrincipal)
secRes.getPrincipal();
Authentication auth = new
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(principal.getName(),
principal.getPassword());
auth = authenticationManager.authenticate(auth);
if(!auth.isAuthenticated()) {
throw new AuthorizationException("This user is not authentic");
}
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(auth);
Now that the authentication object has been set within the context, you
can use Acegi throughout your code like you would any other webapp. It
really is nice. We even use Acegi annotations on our endpoints and use
AOP and a Role voter to authorize our web services. It makes for a
fairly clean solution. We use the same service classes for our web
services and our web application without any code change to support
authorization from each entry point. Code reuse bliss.
I am not all that familiar with WSS4J, so I could be wrong in some of my
understandings of how it works with WS-Security. Does anyone else have
a different experience or understanding of UsernameToken authentication
with WSS4J? Does this seem like a reasonable approach?

I guess I'm interesting in seeing any code that could be shared between
users come into CXF. Specifically, if I remember correctly from the
solutions that I've seen, the WS-Security integration in particular
takes an extra bit of coding. Would be very happy to include your
contributions.

Dan,
What sort of solution are you looking for? We are using an
Acegi/Spring/CXF implementation at our company where we are using
WS-Security and Acegi for authentication and AOP/Acegi for
authorization. We could be interested in contributing.
Thanks,
Eric

Re: CXF+ACEGI + Anybody out there?
Posted by mattmadhavan <ma...@yahoo.com>.
Hi Ray,
No I do not want the client side to tell the server! Thats my point. Some
good blogs I have seen, do that! Where the client 'tells' which handler to
use!
I want a cleaner ACEGI+ XFIRE solution!
Thanks
Matt

You want the client to tell the server how to do security? That sounds crazy :)
Your client side should either be doing http based security or
ws-security. That doesn't have anything to do with Acegi at that
point.

Acegi can be used on the secure the application the server-side.
WS-Security stuff can be used as well.
Your client side application need only present the credentials to the
server to say who it wants to log in as. That's not a an Acegi thing,
it's really not even a java thing at that point.
If you set up Acegi to use BASIC authentication in front of your
webapp for example. Any client application (java, C#, doesn't matter);
can authenticate to your application via BASIC authentication. That is
a standard protocol, it is application independent.
Would you mind posting some of the URLs to the articles you're seeing
that seem the most interesting?

Yes...that does seem strange. I wonder if passing a role instead of a
specific class would be better, and have the business logic of what to
do with that role remain at the server.

I'm trying to understand what you're saying but am having difficulty. But
here goes:

I use Acegi for authorization purposes only. IMHO it doesn't really make
sense for authentication (WS-Security can do that). So I use the
MethodSecurityInterceptor and BeanNameAutoProxyCreator to manage calls to my
service level methods. The Acegi docs can help you there, the only
difference I think is that you have to set the authentication token
yourself, e.g.:
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken token = new
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(
user.getUsername(), user.getPassword(), user.getAuthorities());
// Populate Acegi Security Context
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(token);

You can pass the class name which handles security to the server (crazy
thought I think!) using a header element and then parse it using CXF
interceptors.
