Hi Sergey,
Thanks for that!
So, if we manage to get access to the GSSCredential object, how would we add it
to the request being made so that the SpnegoAuthSupplier finds it?
What method calls do we need to do to the CXF Jax-ws client injected by spring
so that we add the GSSCredential object?
In this case adding the following will do:
<jaxws:properties>
<propery name="org.ietf.jgss.GSSCredential" ref="gssCredential">
</jaxws:properties>
However I typed message.get("org.ietf.jgss.GSSCredential") in the code
to check for the available GSSCredential, may need to change it to
message.getContextualProperty. I've also broken the build with my latest
lame commit, otherwise you'd be able to try CXF 2.6.2-SNAPSHOTS tomorrow
or so
Cheers, Sergey

By the way, SpnegoAuthSupplier now checks for GSSCredential on the CXF message
and will use it if it is there to get a new token - that might simplify a bit
the propagation in the future for cases when no CXF is involved to get the
original in request

Hi Sergey,
In my case the endpoint is a simple<jaxws:client> specified in the
Spring app-context and injected to a few Controllers or similar classes.
The only extra thing is that we want to 'impersonate' or 'delegate'
the user's credentials so that any call we do from the Web Service
client appears as if it is being done by the logged in user (the
Tomcat principal of the web app which is in fact the client of the
web service).
Thanks, that answers my question. Specifically, no CXF is involved to
accept the request, it's only used to make the outbound request.
As I've mentioned in the previous message, a server-side CXF filter is
now available which manages the Negotiate scheme and can be used to
make it pretty easy to propagate the available user credential,
provided it is available, over to the outbound client.
However this filter would be of interest only if CXF also acted as a
receiver of the original request

Hi Sergey and Josef,
in Kerberos there are two kinds of tickets. The Ticket Granting
Ticket
(TGT) together with a session key is the one issued for the user
after he authenticates on his machine. This ticket then allows to
get a Service Ticket (ST) for a certain server. This service ticket
is typically then forwarded to the webserver during SPNEGO.
So on the server side we can use the ST to authenticate the user
but I am not sure how we can use it to get a Service Token for the
next server. In standard Kerberos this is not possible as far as I
know but Microsoft has a Kerberos extension that allows this. I am
not sure though if this can be used from Java.
In any case the username alone is obviously not enough to get
another ticket. What may be possible is to establish an
authentication context using subject.doAs after the authentication
using the ST. In this context it may then be possible to get
another ST but I am not sure how this works.
So using an STS or Fediz may be the more solid way to solve this.
The quick test shows that the the server side validator is capable
of getting GSSCredential using GSSContext.getDelegCred() (the method
name is a bit cryptic I have to say :-)) but only if the initiator
(SpnegoAuthSupplier) sets the cred delegation property to true (or I
assume if the relevant login process say at the Tomcat level allows
for it).
Next, SpnegoAuthSupplier needs to check if GSSCredential is already
available on the message and if yes, just pass it to the context
creation call and let the context populate the token, without
attempting to log in again.
The delegated GSSCredential can be set by the code, before a WS/RS
client is invoked again.
I'm going to do few minor updates (at the JAX-RS level first) and
then push them to CXF interceptors, for cases like the one Josef is
dealing with easily handled at WS call level too
I've done the updates but I'm going to wait with pushing the server
side negotiate handler code to CXF interceptor. Colm has implemented
the advanced WS-Security level Kerberos support, but I'm not sure it
can be needed at the CXF WS end without WS-Sec
Josef, in your case, how the endpoint is implemented ? Is CXF
involved at all, except for the need to do the outbound call with CXF ?

Hi Sergey,
Yes the Principal will be available (i.e. the Username).
I am thinking that we will need to generate the new token for the
remote service (Sharepoint) from the original Token we had
received from the browser. So we would need to do
gsscontext.getDelegCr() to get the Delegate Credentials for the
user and get the new token from that, so that we put it in the outbound HTTP
header.
As far as I know (again I could be mistaken), the old ticket
would be only valid for our URL (SPN), and a new one would be
needed for the Sharepoint URL.
That is pretty interesting. I just happen to have spent few days
only on the subject, so hope our security experts can help :-).
I thought that the tickets that can be 'forwarded' if the kdc
configuration allows for that.
But may be not, may be gsscontext.getDelegCr() has to be called.
I think that a case like this has to be managed in a simpler way
in CXF, though probably at the moment the way you suggest is the
way to go.
I've just added a jaxrs filter but I can definitely push most of
the code to the CXF in interceptor. This filter currently
validates the in service ticket only plus sets a basic
SecurityContext. However it can be configured to propagate the
other useful info for SpnegoAuthSupplier to reuse when this info
is available on the message...
Hope you can make it all work - please share the code when you are
done and we can put some of it at the base CXF level
