CryptoBase.getAliasForX509Cert(String, BigInteger) fails when issuer string
contains OIDs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WSS-87
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-87
Project: WSS4J
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Mario A. Rodriguez
Assignee: Davanum Srinivas
I'm attempting to validate a signature generated using a self-signed
certificate. The issuer DN looks like the following:
CN=xxxx.yyyy.com,OU=MYOU,O=Some Company,ST=NORTH
CAROLINA,2.5.4.17=#13053237353630,C=US
This was generated by invoking X509Certificate.getX500Principal.getName() which
returns a string formatted according to RFC2253 rules.
The problem is that when org.apache.ws.security.processor.SignatureProcessor
parses the SecurityTokenReference element in the signature, it feeds it through
the XMLX509IssuerSerial class first. And when you invoke the getIssuerName()
method on this class it returns the following:
CN=xxxx.yyyy.com,OU=MYOU,O=Some Company,ST=NORTH
CAROLINA,2.5.4.17=\#13053237353630,C=US
Note the extra "\". This alone would cause the lower-level getAlias(Vector
subjectRDN, KeyStore store) method to fail the comparison between the two DNs.
However, the problem is compounded by the fact the getAlias() relies on the
X509Certificate.getIssuerDN().getName() routine to make its comparisons. And
the DN string returned by that method doesn't appear to comply with RFC2253.
I also looked at the signing code and it is also relying on
X509Certificate.getIssuerDN().getName() to format "Issuer Serial" signatures.
The code should rely on X500Principal.getName() instead since that function
guarantees RFC2253 compliant strings as recommended by the digital signature
specification.
