Allow digested password when using SIGN_WITH_UT_KEY
---------------------------------------------------
Key: WSS-49
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-49
Project: WSS4J
Issue Type: Improvement
Environment: Java client vs .NET WSE 2.0 SP3 server
Reporter: Nelis Bijl
Assigned To: Davanum Srinivas
Signing with UsernameToken (.NET feature supported through the SIGN_WITH_UT_KEY
flag) hardcodes the password to be 'plain text'.
org.apache.ws.security.action.UsernameTokenSignedAction.java :
...
WSSecUsernameToken builder = new WSSecUsernameToken();
builder.setWsConfig(reqData.getWssConfig());
/* proposal: allow digested passwords when using UsernameToken signing
*
* replace:
*
* builder.setPasswordType(WSConstants.PASSWORD_TEXT);
*
* with:
*/
builder.setPasswordType(reqData.getPwType());
builder.setUserInfo(reqData.getUsername(), password);
builder.addCreated();
...
In case of a digested password however the signing is not recognized as valid
by .NET WSE 2.0. This is caused by the fact that
'org.apache.ws.security.message.token.UsernameToken.getSecretKey(int keylen,
String labelString)' uses the digested password for hashing whereas the 'plain
text' password should be used to satisfy .NET.
public byte[] getSecretKey(int keylen, String labelString) {
byte[] key = null;
try {
Mac mac = Mac.getInstance("HMACSHA1");
/* proposal: use 'plain text' password for hashing
*
* replace:
*
* byte[] password = getPassword().getBytes("UTF-8");
*
* with:
*/
byte[] password = plainTextPwd.getBytes("UTF-8");
...
where plainTextPwd is a private String member that is set in 'setPassword'.
These changes work for me. However I can not oversee the full impact. I hope
this feature will be implemented because customers won't like to be needing
customized JARs to call our webservice.
