Hi Maxim,

Right now it is not possible to do this with an arbitrary key with Rampart.

But if you explain your requirement in detail (message samples will be
great) I can have a look at how to support this scenario.

Thanks,

Hi

So? Is it possible to configure rampart?

I'd like to read something about how to configure, pass my key,...

Thanx
Maxim

Hi folks,

In cases where we have to use a symmetric key and ensure integrity of a
message we use hmac-sha1 and compute the MAC value over the
canonicalized SignedInfo element and use that MAC value (base64ed) as
the SignatureValue:

<ds:Signature xmlns:ds='http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#' >
<ds:SignedInfo> <ds:CanonicalizationMethod
Algorithm='http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#' />
<ds:SignatureMethod
Algorithm='http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#hmac-sha1' /> ...
...
</ds:SignedInfo>
...
...
</ds:Signature>

I support this is the scenario that Maxim mentioned.

Do you have a scenario where you should be able to do this with an
arbitrary key that you have? Can you also let us know how you are
planning to refer to the shared key used in the signature structure.
Specifically how the "KeyInfo" element of the Signature should be setup.

Right now rampart supports this approach only with the WS-SecConv
implementation where we have to use the derived key to generate
signature as above.

Thanks,
Ruchith
