3 Managing Sample Custom Assertions

Managing custom assertions include activities such as validating IP address, encrypting and decrypting data, and authenticating a user in a custom assertion.

Topics:

3.1 Validating IP Address in Custom Assertion

The IP Address Validation Custom Assertion sample validates whether a request that is made to the web service is from a set of valid IP addresses. In the custom policy assertion you can include the valid IP addresses as a comma-separated list of values. Any request coming from any other IP address results in a FAILED_CHECK response.

This section includes the following topics:

3.1.1 Validating IP Address Using Custom Assertion Executor

        IResult result = new Result();
        result.setStatus(IResult.SUCCEEDED);
        return result;
    }
}

3.1.2 Validating IP Address Using Policy File

Follow this sample to validate the IP address using Policy File.

The following is the sample policy file:

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<wsp:Policy xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy"
 xmlns:orasp="http://schemas.oracle.com/ws/2006/01/securitypolicy"

                                </orawsp:Property>
                         </orawsp:PropertySet>
                     </orawsp:Config>
               </orawsp:bindings>
            </orasp:ipAssertion>
</wsp:Policy>

3.1.3 Validating IP Address Using policy-config.xml File

Follow the sample to use the policy-config.xml file to specify the custom assertion executor.

You can also use the custom policy to specify the custom policy executor, as described in Specifying the Custom Assertion Executor.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<policy-config>
    <policy-model-config>
      <entry>
        <key namespace="http://schemas.oracle.com/ws/2006/01/securitypolicy"
 element-name="ipAssertion"/>
        <executor-classname>sampleassertion.IpAssertionExecutor</executor-classname>
      </entry>
    </policy-model-config>
</policy-config>

3.1.4 Validating IP Address Using Web Service

Follow the sample to validate the IP address using web service.

You can attach the custom assertion to a web service as described in Attaching the Custom Policy to a Web Service.

package project1; 
import javax.jws.WebService;
import weblogic.wsee.jws.jaxws.owsm.SecurityPolicies;
@WebService
@SecurityPolicy(uri="policy:oracle/ip_assertion_policy")
public class Class1 {
    public Class1() {
        super();
    }
 
    public String echo1() {
        return "one";
    }
}

3.1.5 Validating IP Address Using JSE Client

Follow the sample to validate IP Address using JSE client generated from the web service.

The following sample shows a JSE client generated from the web service shown in Validating IP Address Using Web Service.

package project1;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceRef;
 
public class Class1PortClient
{
  @WebServiceRef
  private static Class1Service class1Service;
  public static void main(String [] args)
  {
    class1Service = new Class1Service();
    Class1 port = class1Service.getClass1Port();
    // Add your code to call the desired methods.
 
    System.out.println(port.echo1());
  }
}

3.2 Performing IP Address Validation in Custom Assertion

You can perform IP address validation in custom assertion by creating the custom assertion and the JAR file, adding the custom policy to the custom store, updating the CLASSPATH, attaching the custom policy to the web service, and finally testing the web service.

To perform IP address validation in custom assertion:

  1. Create the custom assertion and custom assertion executor with the sample codes as described in Validating IP Address Using Custom Assertion Executor. These samples demonstrate the following key features:
    • Specify the valid values of IP addresses in the custom assertion:

      <orawsp:PropertySet orawsp:name="valid_ips">
        <orawsp:Property orawsp:name="valid_ips" orawsp:type="string"
       orawsp:contentType="constant">
        <orawsp:Value>140.87.6.143,10.178.93.107</orawsp:Value>
        </orawsp:Property>
      </orawsp:PropertySet>
      

      For more information, see Supplying Parameters for Custom Assertions.

    • View the execution stage in the custom assertion executor:

      oracle.wsm.common.sdk.IMessageContext.STAGE stage =
       ((oracle.wsm.common.sdk.IMessageContext)context).getStage()
      

      For more information, see Accessing OWSM Custom Security Assertion.

    • Access the IP address from the custom assertion executor:

      IConfig config = bindings.getConfigs().get(0);
      IPropertySet propertyset = config.getPropertySets().get(0);
      String valid_ips = propertyset.getPropertyByName("valid_ips").getValue();
      

      For more information, see Supplying Parameters for Custom Assertions.

    • Access the context property remote address:

      String ipAddr = ((IMessageContext)context).getRemoteAddr();
      

      For more information, see Examining OWSM Context Properties.

    • In the event of failure, set the fault that caused the request execution to fail:

      result.setFault(new WSMException(WSMException.FAULT_FAILED_CHECK));
      

      For more information, see Handling Exceptions in Custom Assertions.

  2. Create the JAR file as described in Creating the Custom Assertion JAR File.
  3. Add the custom policy to the policy store as described in Adding the Custom Policy to the Policy Store.
  4. Update the CLASSPATH as described in Deploying the Custom Assertion.
  5. Attach the custom policy to the web service by any one of the methods described in Attaching the Custom Policy to a Web Service.
  6. Test the web service by creating a JSE client as shown in Validating IP Address Using JSE Client.

3.3 Encrypting and Decrypting Data in Custom Assertion

The Encryption and Decryption Custom Assertion sample uses a set of custom assertions to encrypt data from an inbound message, which makes it unreadable from consoles, audit trails, or logs. The encrypted data is decrypted for outbound messages for downstream services that require access to the data.

This section includes the following topics:

3.3.1 Encrypting and Decrypting Data Using Custom Assertion Executor

Follow the sample custom assertion executor for encryption and decryption of data.

The following is the sample custom assertion executor. For more information on the implementation, see Performing Data Encryption and Decryption in Custom Assertion.

3.4 Performing Data Encryption and Decryption in Custom Assertion

You can perform data encryption and decryption in custom assertion by creating custom assertion policy file and JAR file, adding the custom policy to the policy store, updating the CLASSPATH and finally attaching the custom policy to the web service.

To perform data encryption and decryption in custom assertion:

  1. Create the custom assertion policy file and custom assertion executor with the sample codes as described in Encrypting and Decrypting Data in Custom Assertion. These samples demonstrate the following key features:
    • Specify the properties encryption_key and debugFlag in the encrypt property set for the encryption custom assertion:

              <orawsp:PropertySet orawsp:name="encrypt">
                <orawsp:Property orawsp:contentType="constant"
                                 orawsp:name="encryption_key"
      orawsp:type="string">
                  <orawsp:Value>MySecretKey</orawsp:Value>
                </orawsp:Property>
                <orawsp:Property orawsp:contentType="constant"
                                 orawsp:name="debugFlag" orawsp:type="string">
                  <orawsp:Value>true</orawsp:Value>
                </orawsp:Property>
              </orawsp:PropertySet>
      

      For more information, see Supplying Parameters for Custom Assertions.

    • Set the properties decryption_key and debugFlag in the property set decrypt for decryption custom assertion:

              <orawsp:PropertySet orawsp:name="decrypt">
                <orawsp:Property orawsp:contentType="constant"
                                 orawsp:name="decryption_key"
       orawsp:type="string">
                  <orawsp:Value>MySecretKey</orawsp:Value>
                </orawsp:Property>
                <orawsp:Property orawsp:contentType="constant"
                                 orawsp:name="debugFlag" orawsp:type="string">
                  <orawsp:Value>true</orawsp:Value>
                </orawsp:Property>
              </orawsp:PropertySet>

      For more information, see Supplying Parameters for Custom Assertions.

    • Extract the node specified by XPath expressions with defined namespaces from the custom assertion class:

      NamespaceContext ctx = new NamespaceContext()
            {
              public String getNamespaceURI(String prefix)
              {
                return namespaces.get(prefix);
              }
              // Dummy implementation - not used
              public Iterator getPrefixes(String val)
              {
                return null;
              }
              // Dummy implemenation - not used
              public String getPrefix(String uri)
              {
                return null;
              }
            };
            XPathFactory xpathFact = XPathFactory.newInstance();
            XPath xpath = xpathFact.newXPath();
            xpath.setNamespaceContext(ctx);
            
            node = (Node)xpath.evaluate(xpathStr, payload, XPathConstants.NODE);
          }
      
      

      For more information, see Accessing Parts of a Message Using XPath.

  2. Create the JAR file as described in Creating the Custom Assertion JAR File.
  3. Add the custom policy to the policy store as described in Adding the Custom Policy to the Policy Store.
  4. Update the CLASSPATH as described in Deploying the Custom Assertion.
  5. Attach the custom policy to the web service by any one of the methods described in Attaching the Custom Policy to a Web Service.

3.5 Authenticating a User in Custom Assertion

The authentication custom assertion sample is used to authenticate a user using WebLogic authentication providers. The credentials (user name and password) are read from incoming SOAP message and are authenticated against WebLogic authentication provider using a custom login module.

This section includes the following topics:

3.5.1 Authenticating Using Custom Assertion Executor

Follow the sample executor to understand how it invokes the custom login module to perform the authentication.

The following example describes it.

package sampleAssertion;
/**
 * <Description>
 * <p>
 * CustomAuthExecutor class. This class is invoked for custom_auth_policy
 * This class expects that wss_username_token_client_policy is attached to the 
* calling client
 * This class fetches credentials from incoming SOAP message and performs
 * authentication against a configured login module as specified by the Login 
* Config file.
 * </p>

3.5.3 Implementing User Authentication Using Files

You can authenticate a user using the login configuration file and the implement various classes as specified in the file.

It contains the following topics:

3.5.3.1 Authenticating Using Login Configuration File

The following sample describes a Login configuration file that contains an entry specifying the Login Module that is to be used to do the user authentication.

/** Login Configuration for the Sample Application 
JAAS authentication is performed in a pluggable fashion, so Java applications can
 remain independent from 
underlying authentication technologies. Users can plugin there custom loginmodule
 implementations which 
can integrate with corresponding authentication provider.
 
The name for an entry in a login configuration file is the name that applications
 use to refer to the entry when 
they instantiate a LoginContext. The specified LoginModules (described below) are
 used to control the authentication process.
 
As part of this sample we are using CustomLoginModule and SimpleLoginModule
1. CustomLoginModule - integrates with weblogic authentication provider
2. SimpleLoginModule - simply returns
 
You can also provide implementation of javax.security.auth.login.Configuration
 interface
Refer http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/security/auth/login/Config
uration.html and 
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jaas/tutorials/LoginC
onfigFile.html for more details.

3.5.3.4 Implementing a Callback Handler Class

Follow the sample CallbackHandler class that provides an implementation of javax.security.auth.callback.Callback interface.

The following is the sample CallbackHandler class:

package sampleAssertion;
/**
 * <Description>
 * <p>
 * MyCallbackHandler class implements the 
 *  <code>javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler </code> interface.  
 * An application implements its owm implementation of CallbackHandler.
 * An instance of CallbackHandler is passed as an argument to the LoginContext
 * instantiation. 
 * The LoginContext forwards the CallbackHandler directly to the underlying
 * LoginModules
 * so that they may interact with the application to retrieve specific
 * authentication data, 
 * such as usernames and passwords.
 * </p>
 * </Description>
 *

import java.io.IOException;
 
import javax.security.auth.callback.Callback;
import javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler;
import javax.security.auth.callback.NameCallback;
import javax.security.auth.callback.PasswordCallback;
import javax.security.auth.callback.UnsupportedCallbackException;
 
public class MyCallbackHandler implements CallbackHandler {
    
    private String userName = null;
    
    private String password = null;
    
    public void setUserName(String userName) {
        this.userName = userName;
    }
 
    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }
    
    @Override
    /**
     * sets user name and password into callback
     */
    public void handle(Callback[] callbacks) throws IOException,

        for (int i = 0; i < callbacks.length; i++) {
            Callback c = callbacks[i];
            if (c instanceof NameCallback) {
                ((NameCallback) c).setName(this.userName);
            } else if (c instanceof PasswordCallback) {
                char[] password = this.password.toCharArray();
                ((PasswordCallback) c).setPassword(password);
            } else {
                throw new UnsupportedCallbackException(callbacks[i],

3.6 Performing User Authentication in Custom Assertion

You can perform user authentication in custom assertion by creating the necessary files, specifying the login configuration file and by invoking the request from the client for authentication.

To perform user authentication in custom assertion:

  1. Create the custom assertion and custom assertion executor with the sample codes as described in Authenticating a User in Custom Assertion. These samples demonstrate the following key features:
    • Define the custom assertion implementation class:

            <orawsp:bindings>    
      <orawsp:Implementation>sampleAssertion.CustomAuthExecutor
      </orawsp:Implementation>
            </orawsp:bindings>
      

      For more information, see orawsp:Implementation

    • View the execution stage in the custom assertion executor:

      oracle.wsm.common.sdk.IMessageContext.STAGE stage =
       ((oracle.wsm.common.sdk.IMessageContext) context).getStage(); 
      

      For more information, see Accessing OWSM Custom Security Assertion.

    • In order to authenticate a user, you first need a javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext. Obtain a LoginContext. Use the LoginModule implementation specified by the entry named "CustomLoginModule" in the JAAS login configuration file and use the specified CallbackHandler as follows:

      Subject subject = new Subject();
      LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("CustomLoginModule", subject,
      callbackhandler);
      

      Once the caller has instantiated a LoginContext, it invokes the login method to authenticate a subject. If authentication is successful, the CustomLoginModule populates the Subject with a Principal representing the user.

      For more information, see http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jgss/tutorials/index.html.

      initializerCallbackHandler (from Authenticating Using Custom Assertion Executor) is used to check if incoming SOAP message contains UsernameToken, retrieve credentials from the incoming SOAP message and pass them to Login module class

    • In the event of success, set the result to success:

      result.setStatus(IResult.SUCCEEDED);
      
    • In the event of failure, set the fault that caused the request execution to fail:

      result.setStatus(IResult.FAILED);
                      throw new WSMException(
                          WSMException.FAULTCODE_QNAME_FAILED_AUTHENTICATION, e);
      

      For more information, see Handling Exceptions in Custom Assertions.

  2. Create the JAR file as described in Creating the Custom Assertion JAR File.
  3. Add the custom policy to the policy store as described in Adding the Custom Policy to the Policy Store.
  4. Update the CLASSPATH as described in Deploying the Custom Assertion.
  5. Attach the custom policy to the web service by any one of the methods described in Attaching the Custom Policy to a Web Service.
  6. Create a client for the web service. This sample custom policy uses wss_username_token_client_policy on the client side. Attach the wss_username_token_client_policy to the client.
  7. Create a configuration file and the class files that implement authentication as described in Implementing a Custom Login Module Class. For more information on the configuration file, refer to the JAAS API at http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jgss/tutorials/index.html.
  8. Specify the Login configuration file created in Authenticating Using Login Configuration File. You can specify the file in any one of the following ways:
    • Edit the script you use to start WebLogic Server to add the following option after the java command and restart the server:

      -Djava.security.auth.login.config==<path of LoginConfig file>

    • The Java security properties file is located in the file named <JAVA_HOME>/lib/security/java.security, where <JAVA_HOME> refers to the directory where the JDK was installed. In this file, change the value of the "login.configuration.provider" security property to the fully qualified name of the Login configuration file.

  9. Invoke request from the client. The user name and password set into client will be authenticated against configured login module which integrates with Weblogic authentication provider.
