How to create a SSL client to support https

2007-07-05 Thread Kelvin Lin
Hi all,
   
  I have followed the installation guide to compile source codes including 
ENABLE_SSL=1 successfully. It could support http protocol well but failed to 
support https.
   
  I have checked axis-c-user mail list and found some similar articles to 
handle this problem, like:
   
  
you can give the certificates as a parameter in axis2.xml

|parameter name=SERVER_CERT/path/to/ca/certificate/parameter||
|||

or as properties set in the code.

eg:
ssl_ca_file = axis2_property_create(env);
AXIS2_PROPERTY_SET_VALUE(ssl_ca_file, env,
axis2_strdup(/home/user/cacert.pem, env));
AXIS2_OPTIONS_SET_PROPERTY(options, env, SERVER_CERT, ssl_ca_file);

Note that you have to create a property and set it using the 
AXIS2_OPTIONS_SET_PROPERTY function call.
   
  **
  When using AXIS2_OPTIONS_SET_PROPERTY()
first you need to create an axis2_property_t instance and then set it.

eg.

axis2_property_t *ssl_server_cert_prop =
axis2_property_create_with_args(env, 0, AXIS2_TRUE, 0,
AXIS2_STRDUP(cert_filename, env));

AXIS2_OPTIONS_SET_PROPERTY(options, env, SERVER_CERT,
ssl_server_cert_prop);

  

   
  But it failed in my environment, because I can't find some apis and variable 
name at all, like axis2_property_t and AXIS2_OPTIONS_SET_PROPERTY.
   
  I used official version axis2c-src-1.0.0 and changed axis2.xml like:
   
  transportSender name=https class=axis2_http_sender
parameter name=PROTOCOL locked=falseHTTP/1.1/parameter
/transportSender
parameter name=SERVER_CERT/path/to/ca/certificate/parameter
!--parameter 
name=KEY_FILE/path/to/client/certificate/chain/file/parameter
parameter name=SSL_PASSPHRASEpassphrase/parameter
--
   
  At the same time, I called following apis in my program:
   
  axis2_options_set_soap_version(options, env, AXIOM_SOAP12);
 axis2_options_set_transport_in_protocol(options, env, 
AXIS2_TRANSPORT_ENUM_HTTPS);
   
  But the server I built by myself didn't have any response and get error code 
82, Input stream is NULL in msg_ctx.
   
  What apis should I call to support https and how to config axis2.xml to 
specify pem file both under needing authentication and no needing 
authentication? I am freshman to Axis2/C, so pls. tell me detailedly:)
   
  Thanks a lot.

Those instructions were intended for v0.96. Since v1.0 the util 
declarations were renamed with a axutil_ prefix and the macros were 
dropped. Hence these should be axutil_property_t and 
axis2_options_set_property respectively.



I used official version axis2c-src-1.0.0 and changed axis2.xml like:
 
transportSender name=https class=axis2_http_sender

parameter name=PROTOCOL locked=falseHTTP/1.1/parameter
/transportSender
parameter name=SERVER_CERT/path/to/ca/certificate/parameter
!--parameter 
name=KEY_FILE/path/to/client/certificate/chain/file/parameter

parameter name=SSL_PASSPHRASEpassphrase/parameter

This is all you need in order to get ssl working, usually. :)


At the same time, I called following apis in my program:
 
axis2_options_set_soap_version(options, env, AXIOM_SOAP12);
 axis2_options_set_transport_in_protocol(options, env, 
AXIS2_TRANSPORT_ENUM_HTTPS);


Axis2 engine should set the appropriate protocols according to the epr 
that you use. For example for a https endpoint, axis2 engine would look 
at the https:// uri and understand that the protocol that should be 
used is https. In particular, setting transport_in protocol is not 
useful if you are not using different ports to send and receive messages 
(dual client).


But the server I built by myself didn't have any response and get error 
code 82, Input stream is NULL in msg_ctx.


That is because our simple_axis_server is not capable of handling ssl. 
Please refer to the axis2 manual [1] for more information on deploying 
axis2 in apache2 server. Make sure to have mod_ssl installed.

There are three properties that are related to ssl transport, 
SERVER_CERT, KEY_FILE and SSL_PASSPHRASE. Please refer to [2] for more 
information on each.


This is how you set the SERVER_CERT for expample:

axutil_property_t ssl_ca_file = axutil_property_create(env);
axutil_property_set_value(ssl_ca_file, env,
axutil_strdup(env, /home/dumindu/dummyCA/demoCA/cacert.pem));
axis2_options_set_property(options, env, SERVER_CERT, ssl_ca_file);

You can set the other three properties accordingly, too. These 
properties however, are *not needed* to be set in the code, if you can 
set them in axis2.xml.


Tutorial [2] was written a while back, so there can be a few errors. 
Please let me know if you find any :)

Dumindu.

Hi Dumindu,
   
  Thank you very much. You pull me out from the mess and give me the confidence 
to finish the work.
   
  But because I will be not available in the following three days, I have to 
try your method in next Monday(China Time). And if there are any problems, I 
will tell you.
   
  I skim your reply and I have a question about this paragraph:
   
  That is because our simple_axis_server is not capable of handling ssl. 
Please refer to the axis2 manual [1] for more information on deploying 
axis2 in apache2 server. Make sure to have mod_ssl installed.
   
  I used IBM Websphere as http server. Does it matter to the solution.
   
  Thanks a lot again.
   
  Kelvin.Lin

It's just clumsy advertisement I guess.
