>
> Key: WSS-49
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-49
> Project: WSS4J
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: Java client vs .NET WSE 2.0 SP3 server
> Reporter: Nelis Bijl
> Assignee: Fred Dushin
>
> Signing with UsernameToken (.NET feature supported through the SIGN_WITH_UT_KEY flag) hardcodes the password to be 'plain text'.
> org.apache.ws.security.action.UsernameTokenSignedAction.java :
> ...
> WSSecUsernameToken builder = new WSSecUsernameToken();
> builder.setWsConfig(reqData.getWssConfig());
> /* proposal: allow digested passwords when using UsernameToken signing
> *
> * replace:
> *
> * builder.setPasswordType(WSConstants.PASSWORD_TEXT);
> *
> * with:
> */
> builder.setPasswordType(reqData.getPwType());
> builder.setUserInfo(reqData.getUsername(), password);
> builder.addCreated();
> ...
> In case of a digested password however the signing is not recognized as valid by .NET WSE 2.0. This is caused by the fact that 'org.apache.ws.security.message.token.UsernameToken.getSecretKey(int keylen, String labelString)' uses the digested password for hashing whereas the 'plain text' password should be used to satisfy .NET.
> public byte[] getSecretKey(int keylen, String labelString) {
> byte[] key = null;
> try {
> Mac mac = Mac.getInstance("HMACSHA1");
> /* proposal: use 'plain text' password for hashing
> *
> * replace:
> *
> * byte[] password = getPassword().getBytes("UTF-8");
> *
> * with:
> */
> byte[] password = plainTextPwd.getBytes("UTF-8");
> ...
> where plainTextPwd is a private String member that is set in 'setPassword'.
> These changes work for me. However I can not oversee the full impact. I hope this feature will be implemented because customers won't like to be needing customized JARs to call our webservice.
