Hi Mickael,

You are right, in current version SimpleAuthorizingInterceptor works only with 
prepared SecurityContext (with resolved roles).

Yes, the precondition is that SecurityContext holds all the information - if it does not then it can not be overridden

Configured user roles map is checked only additionally to roles in context. You 
can restrict access in configuration, but could not extend it.

Yes. I've added 'userRolesMap' while working on SAML authorization tests (in scope of the JAX-RS security project).

We have an assertion coming in with claims allocating one or more roles to the current Subject, these claims/roles are captured within the current SecurityContext - and SimpleAuthorizingInterceptor will only let the request pass if the current SecurityContext returns true from its isUserInRole. Now, given that all the claims are coming from the remote entity (IDP, possibly indirectly) and these roles belong to Subject irespectively of what resource method the Subject ultimately invokes, it may make sense to restrict the roles info in the context of the given resource method invocation to a limited sub-set - guess something like that can be done in the future with the access management tool.

So, userRolesMap is there to restrict the current SecurityContext

 From my perspective it makes sense to add Boolean configuration option into 
SimpleAuthorizingInInterceptor ( like checkConfiguredRolesOnly). If it is 
activated, SimpleAuthorizingInterceptor will check only configured roles, not 
Security Context. By default option should be switched off.


I wonder, should the original SecurityContext properly populated instead ? If it is a 2-way TLS, should the roles population be managed at say the Tomcat level ?

Now you have following options:
1) Set up your SecurityContext with appropriate roles.
      1.1) In SecurityTokenService
      1.2) In your interceptor (like JAASLoginInterceptor.java)
2) Subclass  AbstractAuthorizingInInterceptor with own one, and implement 
isUserInRole() method that doesn't call super.isUserInRole().

Indeed, it's always possible to override/customize

Thanks, Sergey

Andrei.

Hi Andrei,

The statement List<String>  userRoles = 
userRolesMap.get(sc.getUserPrincipal().getName()); present in 
SimpleAuthorizingInterceptor at line 44 is never called in my configuration. This is 
because the method isUserInRole defined in AbstractAuthorizingInterceptor is called 
just before (line 39 of SimpleAuthorizingInterceptor) and return false, so the 
isUserInRole method of SimpleAuthorizingInterceptor always returns false at line 40.

In fact, the map userRolesMap is never used in my configuration because 
isUserInRole returns before using it.

Hi Mickael,

After authentication takes place using the WSS4JInInterceptor, the
handleMessage method of SimpleAuthorizingInterceptor is invoked. I
don't understand why this configuration doesn't work. After
authentication is done, we know who is the caller according the the
information present in its certificate. Then, I would expect the
userRolesMap to be used, so that we can know what is(are) the role(s)
associated to this caller. And then, according to these caller's
associated roles and the invoked method's associated role, we are able
to say that the caller is authorized or not. I don't
  >understand what SAML comes to solve here. Also, I still don't understand 
what is the meaning of sending my role(s) as a caller, this is something
that should be determined by the server.

Basically your configuration should work.
Possible issue is that sc.getUserPrincipal().getName() is not the same as configured user names: 
"client" and "admin".
It causes empty userRoles list from configured map in 
SimpleAuthorizingInInterceptor:
             List<String>  userRoles = 
userRolesMap.get(sc.getUserPrincipal().getName());
Could you check it in debugger?

Regards,
Andrei.

Hi Mickael,

I know that I'm missing something here related to the
TAG_SAML_ASSERTION. Maybe the caller has to provide its role inside the
SOAP message? If yes, I don't understand why, the caller should only know its 
identity, the roles is more for the server side which checks if the caller's 
identity is associated to an expected roles.

Yep, correct.
SAML has extensions mechanism, where it is possible to define additional 
attribute statements.
In some scenarios it is really the case that STS service not only authenticate 
the user and issues SAML token with Authentication statement, but also maps 
user to role and inserts role as attribute statement in SAML. STS service has 
appropriate claims/attribute statements extensions points to do it (see as 
sample 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/services/sts/sts-core/src/test/java/org/apache/cxf/sts/common/CustomClaimsHandler.java
 ).
Therefore WSS4JInInterceptors tries to get roles from the SAML.

You can follow this approach and extend STS to do user ->  roles mapping.
Other option is to do it in own interceptor. As basis you can look 
JAASLoginInterceptor and RolePrefixedSecurityContextImpl that just adds ROLE_ 
prefix to user name and interprets it as role 
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/rt/core/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/interceptor/security/JAASLoginInterceptor.java
 ).

Regards,
Andrei.

Hi Andrei,

Thanks for your helpful answer.

I'm trying to use the Interceptors provided by CXF but I get the following 
issue:

In the WSS4JInInterceptor, when the method doResults is called to construct the 
security result, at line 482, the condition 
o.get(WSSecurityEngineResult.TAG_SAML_ASSERTION) != null is false for me, so 
the createSecurityContext method is called without the roles (which causes to 
call createSecurityContext with null roles). So, when sc.isUserInRole(role) is 
called in AbstractAuthorizingInterceptor at line 100, it always returns false, 
so the call to isUserInRole(sc, expectedRoles, false) in 
AbstractAuthorizingInterceptor at line 84 also returns false, and the client is 
then never authorized.

I know that I'm missing something here related to the TAG_SAML_ASSERTION. Maybe 
the caller has to provide its role inside the SOAP message? If yes, I don't 
understand why, the caller should only know its identity, the roles is more for 
the server side which checks if the caller's identity is associated to an 
expected roles.

Thanks,
Mickael

Hi Mickael,

You can use CXF AbstractAuthorizingInInterceptor and 
SimpleAuthorizingInInterceptor as basis:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/cxf/trunk/rt/core/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/interceptor/security/AbstractAuthorizingInInterceptor.java
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/cxf/trunk/rt/core/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/interceptor/security/SimpleAuthorizingInterceptor.java

Idea is the following: SimpleAuthorizingInInterceptor is configured with 
methods-roles map. Interceptor validates does user in given role have 
permissions to accessing method.

There is the sample configuration in
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/cxf/trunk/systests/jaxrs/src/test/resources/jaxrs_jaas_security/WEB-INF/beans.xml

It can be a good starting point for your task.

Regards,
Andrei.

Subject: Authorization with CXF and WSS4J?

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to implement web service authorization with CXF but I 
can't find anything on the CXF documentation, nor on the web. I would like to 
define roles, and to specify for each web method which roles are authorized...
I've looked at the different WS-* support in the doc, especially WS-Security, 
WS-SecurityPolicy and WS-Policy but I don't understand how these can be use for 
authorization.

Please, provide me some links in the case it is possible.

Thanks
