Providing security to JAX-RS Web Service - authentication

Our project implemented using WAS Server 8.5/Struts 2 application.
javax.ws.rs.core.SecurityContext is just an interface.
Which can be used as below.
#javax.ws.rs.GET
#javax.ws.rs.Path("/{abc}")
#javax.ws.rs.Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
#Secured
public List<Object> getReport(#PathParam("abc") String abc,#Context SecurityContext securityContext) {
System.out.println("securityContext.isSecure() "+securityContext.isSecure());
if(securityContext.isSecure()!=true){
throw new SecurityException("User is unauthorized.");
}
}
My servlet configuration file looks like this.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>JAXRSRestConfig</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.ibm.websphere.jaxrs.server.IBMRestServlet</servlet-class>

//If no authorization information present; block access
if(authorization == null || authorization.isEmpty())
{
requestContext.abortWith(ACCESS_DENIED);
return;
}
//Get encoded username and password
final String encodedUserPassword = authorization.get(0).replaceFirst(AUTHENTICATION_SCHEME + " ", "");
//Decode username and password
//String usernameAndPassword = new String(Base64.decode(encodedUserPassword.getBytes()));;
String usernameAndPassword = new String(Base64.decode(encodedUserPassword));;
//Split username and password tokens
final StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(usernameAndPassword, ":");
final String username = tokenizer.nextToken();
final String password = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Verifying Username and password
System.out.println(username);
System.out.println(password);
//Verify user access
if(method.isAnnotationPresent(RolesAllowed.class))
{
RolesAllowed rolesAnnotation = method.getAnnotation(RolesAllowed.class);
Set<String> rolesSet = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(rolesAnnotation.value()));
//Is user valid?
if( ! isUserAllowed(username, password, rolesSet))
{
requestContext.abortWith(ACCESS_DENIED);
return;
}
}
}
}
private boolean isUserAllowed(final String username, final String password, final Set<String> rolesSet)
{
System.out.println("filter isUserAllowed");
boolean isAllowed = false;
//Step 1. Fetch password from database and match with password in argument
//If both match then get the defined role for user from database and continue; else return isAllowed [false]
//Access the database and do this part yourself
//String userRole = userMgr.getUserRole(username);
if(username.equals("password") && password.equals("password"))
{
isAllowed = true;
}
return isAllowed;
}
}
All the authentication related code goes into AuthenticationFilter class.
I need some idea about registering AuthenticationFilter to our project.
Whenever getReport() method is called, AuthenticationFilter should be intercepted for security purposes. How to do it?
Any help really appreciated!!

MvvmCross HTTP DownloadCache with authentication

In my app, the user need to be authenticated on the server to download data using WebAPIs.
The MvvmCross DownloadCache plugin seems to handle only basic HTTP GET queries. I can't add my authentication token in the url as it's a big SAML token.
How can I add a HTTP header to queries done through DownloadCache plugin ?
With the current version I think I should inject my own IMvxHttpFileDownloader but I'm looking for an easier solution. Injecting my own MvxFileDownloadRequest would be better (not perfect) but it doesn't have an interface...
I'm able to do it registering a custom IWebRequestCreate for a custom scheme (http-auth://).
It's a bit ugly to transform urls from my datasource but it does the job.
public class AuthenticationWebRequestCreate : IWebRequestCreate
{
public const string HttpPrefix = "http-auth";
public const string HttpsPrefix = "https-auth";
private static string EncodeCredential(string userName, string password)
{
Encoding encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
string credential = userName + ":" + password;
return Convert.ToBase64String(encoding.GetBytes(credential));
}
public static void RegisterBasicAuthentication(string userName, string password)
{
var authenticateValue = "Basic " + EncodeCredential(userName, password);
AuthenticationWebRequestCreate requestCreate = new AuthenticationWebRequestCreate(authenticateValue);
Register(requestCreate);
}
public static void RegisterSamlAuthentication(string token)
{
var authenticateValue = "SAML2 " + token;
AuthenticationWebRequestCreate requestCreate = new AuthenticationWebRequestCreate(authenticateValue);
Register(requestCreate);
}
private static void Register(AuthenticationWebRequestCreate authenticationWebRequestCreate)
{
WebRequest.RegisterPrefix(HttpPrefix, authenticationWebRequestCreate);
WebRequest.RegisterPrefix(HttpsPrefix, authenticationWebRequestCreate);
}
private readonly string _authenticateValue;
public AuthenticationWebRequestCreate(string authenticateValue)
{
_authenticateValue = authenticateValue;
}
public WebRequest Create(System.Uri uri)
{
UriBuilder uriBuilder = new UriBuilder(uri);
switch (uriBuilder.Scheme)
{
case HttpPrefix:
uriBuilder.Scheme = "http";
break;
case HttpsPrefix:
uriBuilder.Scheme = "https";
break;
default:
break;
}
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uriBuilder.Uri);
request.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization] = _authenticateValue;
return request;
}
}

OAuth2 and DotNetOpenAuth - implementing Google custom client

I'm having an issue implementing custom OAuth2Client for google using DotNetOpenAuth and MVC4.
I've got to the point where I can successfully make the authorization request to the google endpoint
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth
and Google asks if the user will allow my application access to their account. All good so far. When the user clicks 'OK', google then calls my callback URL as expected.
The problem is when I call the VerifyAuthentication method on the OAuthWebSecurity class (Microsoft.Web.WebPages.OAuth)
var authenticationResult = OAuthWebSecurity.VerifyAuthentication(Url.Action("ExternalLoginCallback", new { ReturnUrl = returnUrl }));
It's always returning an AuthenticationResult with IsSuccessful = false and Provider = ""
I've looked into the code for this, and the OAuthWebSecurity class tries to get the Provider name from
Request.QueryString["__provider__"]
but Google is not sending this information back in the querystring. The other provider I have implemented (LinkedIn) is sending the provider name back and it all works just fine.
I'm not sure what I can do from this point, apart from abandon the Microsoft.Web.WebPages.OAuth classes and just use DotNetOpenAuth without them, but I was hoping someone might have another solution I can try...
I've searched extensively, but can't seem to find anything to help ... I've found it really difficult even just to find examples of people doing the same thing, which has really surprised me.
Any help much appreciated!
Update: As Matt Johnson mentions below he has packaged up a solution to this which you can get from GitHub: https://github.com/mj1856/DotNetOpenAuth.GoogleOAuth2
As he notes:
DNOA and OAuthWebSecurity for ASP.Net MVC 4 ship with only an OpenId provider for Google. This is an OAuth2 client that you can use instead.
IMPORTANT - If you are using ASP.Net MVC 5, this package is not applicable. You should use Microsoft.Owin.Security.Google instead. (It also ships with the MVC 5 starter templates in VS 2013.)
I got round this in the end by catching the request when it comes in, and doing my own check to see which provider it has come from. Google allow you to send a parameter to the OAuth request called 'state', which they simply pass straight back to you when they make the callback, so I'm using this to pass the provider name for google, and I check for this in the absence of the "__provider__".
something like this:
public String GetProviderNameFromQueryString(NameValueCollection queryString)
{
var result = queryString["__provider__"];
if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(result))
{
result = queryString["state"];
}
return result;
}
I've then implemented a custom OAuth2Client for Google, and I manually call the VerifyAuthentication method on that myself, bypassing the Microsoft wrapper stuff.
if (provider is GoogleCustomClient)
{
authenticationResult = ((GoogleCustomClient)provider).VerifyAuthentication(context, new Uri(String.Format("{0}/oauth/ExternalLoginCallback", context.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority).ToString())));
}
else
{
authenticationResult = OAuthWebSecurity.VerifyAuthentication(returnUrl);
}
This has allowed me to keep the stuff I already had in place for the other providers using the Microsoft wrappers.
As requested by #1010100 1001010, here is my custom OAuth2Client for Google (NOTE: IT NEEDS SOME TIDYING! I HAVEN'T GOT ROUND TO TIDYING THE CODE UP YET. It does work though) :

You can add a provider query parameter to the end of your callback url.
e.g. https://mywebsite.com/Account/ExternalLoginCallback?provider=google
The you will get it and you don't need the work around.

Access to security headers in JAX-WS custom handler

I want to implement custom handler that will check if request contains all required security headers.
The "head" part of the request looks as follows:
<soapenv:Header xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<header1>value of header one</header1>
<header2>value of header two</header2>
<wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:UsernameToken>
<wsse:Username>X</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password>X</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
</soapenv:Header>
I tried to get access to the seciurity header and I can't.
First way which I tried was:
public class MyCustomHandler implements
SOAPHandler<SOAPMessageContext> {
public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext smc) {
SOAPMessage message = smc.getMessage();
SOAPHeader header = message.getSOAPHeader();
Iterator iterator = header.getChildElements();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
SOAPElement element = (SOAPElement) iterator.next();
log.debug(element.getValue());
log.debug(element.getLocalName());
}
return true;
}
public boolean handleFault(SOAPMessageContext smc) {
logToSystemOut(smc);
return true;
}
public void close(MessageContext messageContext) {
}
...
Unfortunetaly the "while" loop logged only header1 and header2 but there is nothing about "Seciurity".
I tried also getChilds(Qname) but it also does not work.
You might want to try using the SOAPPart of the message:
if (!((Boolean) messageContext.get(SOAPMessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY)).booleanValue()) {
SOAPPart msg = messageContext.getMessage().getSOAPPart();
XPathFactory xPathFactory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xPath = xPathFactory.newXPath();
final Map<String, String> namespaceMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
namespaceMap.put("soap", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
namespaceMap.put("wsse", "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd");
NamespaceContext nsContext = new NamespaceContext() {
#Override
public Iterator<String> getPrefixes(String namespaceURI) {
List<String> prefixes = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String url : namespaceMap.values()) {
if (url.equals(namespaceURI)) {
prefixes.add(url);
}
}
return prefixes.iterator();
}
#Override
public String getPrefix(String namespaceURI) {
return getPrefixes(namespaceURI).next();
}
#Override
public String getNamespaceURI(String prefix) {
return namespaceMap.get(prefix);
}
};
xPath.setNamespaceContext(nsContext);
String userName = (String) xPath.evaluate("/soap:Envelope/soap:Header/wsse:Security/wsse:UsernameToken/wsse:Username/text()", msg,
XPathConstants.STRING);
String password = (String) xPath.evaluate("/soap:Envelope/soap:Header/wsse:Security/wsse:UsernameToken/wsse:Password/text()", msg,
XPathConstants.STRING);
}
I also added a check for "only inbound" messages. You don't want to check for security-stuff on you replies I assume.
Does this work for you (I just typed this down. Didnt really test it so you might have a compile issue)?

Is anything wrong with my manual implementation of Basic HTTP Authentication?

I am using WCF to develop a RESTful Web Service that acts as a proxy to a set of stored procedures that, for security reasons, cannot be directly accessed by Internet-facing applications.
The class implementing the service's DataContract has a helper property that retrieves the name of the currently logged-in user, or generates an HTTP 401 Unauthorized response if no user is currently logged in.
[ServiceContract]
public class MyService
{
// The helper property
string UserName
{
get
{
WebOperationContext context = WebOperationContext.Current;
if (context != null)
{
string authHeader = context.IncomingRequest.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization];
if (authHeader != null && authHeader.StartsWith("Basic "))
{
string string64 = authHeader.Substring(6);
byte[] array64 = Convert.FromBase64String(string64);
string decoded = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(array64);
string[] authParts = decoded.Split(':');
if (ValidateLogin(authParts[0] /*userName*/,
authParts[1] /*password*/))
return authParts[0];
}
}
OutgoingWebResponseContext outgoing = context.OutgoingResponse;
outgoing.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized;
outgoing.Headers[HttpResponseHeader.WwwAuthenticate] = "Basic";
return null;
}
}
[OperationContract]
public int LengthOfUserName()
{
return UserName.Length;
}
}
However, when I attempt to log in with a valid user name and password, I still get an Unauthorized error. What's wrong with my code?

reporting service network credentials

receiving the error:
"Property or indexer
'Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.IReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials'
cannot be assigned to-- it is read only"
within this line:
reportviewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials
= new System.Net.NetworkCredential("someaccount",
"somepassword");
When I hover the cursor on NetworkCredentials, it says: "Gets or sets the network credentials that are used for authentication with report server"..
what the heck is going on here?
thanks
this.rpv.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials is not read-only. Read this post:
http://www.visualstudiodev.com/visual-studio-report-controls/reportviewerserverreportreportservercredentialsnetworkcredentials-readonly-24629.shtml
it is still read only, that ReportServerCredentials field is still read only, it has only getter but not a setter !
add this class to the same namespace:
public class CustomReportCredentials : IReportServerCredentials
{
private string _UserName;
private string _PassWord;
private string _DomainName;
public CustomReportCredentials(string UserName, string PassWord, string DomainName)
{
_UserName = UserName;
_PassWord = PassWord;
_DomainName = DomainName;
}
public System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity ImpersonationUser
{
get { return null; }
}
public ICredentials NetworkCredentials
{
get { return new NetworkCredential(_UserName, _PassWord, _DomainName); }
}
public bool GetFormsCredentials(out Cookie authCookie, out string user,
out string password, out string authority)
{
authCookie = null;
user = password = authority = null;
return false;
}
}
Then set your credentials like this:
IReportServerCredentials Creds = new CustomReportCredentials("Administrator", "password", "domain"); //to actual values
myReportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = Creds;
in .NET core as well in .NET 5.0 replace "reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials" with "reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Username,Password,Domain);"
also you Should install "Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms" NuGet
