Weblogic OSB 2-way SSL connection - ssl

I have an OSB service which communicates with a bank by 2way SSL connection. OSB_server configured to use "Custom Identity and Java Standard Trust keystores". Identity keystore has server certificate and trust keystore CA certificates. Private alias set to use "key" -
Ive added client sertificate received by bank to identity keystore, CA to "cacerts" and changed SSL private alias to received one "800345" and set UseServerCerts to true.
Communication with bank working fine, but.. other services doesn't work because of wrong private SSL certificate.
Found solution where I can use WLST scripting to change private key, but it requires restart or module redeploy.
Another solution found was with PKI provider/credential mapping. In weblogic noted that this is deprecated technology, but anyway tried it... received exception that my created provider didn't find in weblogic home domain (it is there).
In general I have:
key pair from Bank CA cert from Bank
Could you please help with this? Where I should insert this keys to make OSB service working? Any other solution would be nice to hear.. or any tutorials..

Tomcat/Java Truststore confusion

I am rather confused by the purpose of the trustore file in a tomcat server.
I.e use of the truststoreFile parameter when setting up a TLS enabled connector.
According to the tomcat docs:
truststoreFile
The trust store file to use to validate client certificates. The
default is the value of the javax.net.ssl.trustStore system property.
If neither this attribute nor the default system property is set, no
trust store will be configured.
To me this is telling me that for an inbound connection to my tomcat server, this is where I would store certificates that a client would present. (e.g. a users browser)
Would I really put in 3rd party CA certificates here or other 3rd party server certificates, if my tomcat server wants to make an outbound connection to a TLS enabled server (e.g. an LDAPS server)
As per my understanding the place to do this is the cacerts file.
Is my understanding of the truststore wrong?
Yes, you are right, it is quite confusing.
If you need to make an outbound connection a 3rd party, you need to add the certificates to cacerts.
There is a very popular "signing, validation, etc." service for government-owned companies here in Spain, #firma, that just changed its wildcard server certificate and we had to add it to cacerts.

How sim800 get ssl certificate?

Sim800 supports SSL protocol. AT command "AT+CIPSSL" sets TCP to use SSL function.
In the "sim800_series_ssl_application_note_v1.01.pdf" is noted that: "Module will automatic begin SSL certificate after TCP connected."
My Problem: What is the exact meaning of the begin SSL certificate? what does sim800 do exactly? Does sim800 get SSL certificate from website? where does sim800 save SSL certificate?
As far as I know, SIM800 has some certificates in it and when you use a TCP+SSL or HTTP+SSL connection it will automatically use those certificates.
If those certificates are not ok for you, you will need to use an SD card, save there the certificates you want and use the command AT+SSLSETCERT to set the certificate you saved on your SD card. Here you can find how to use the File System.
Usually the certificates that come with the module are enough and you won't need this. But for example they didn't work for me when I tried to communicate with Azure via MQTT. I had to encrypt the data myself using wolfSSL library and send it using TCP without SSL.
Note: Not all SIM800 modules have SD card support.
There are a very few information about sim800 and ssl certificate on the web, and like you i got a lot of questions about it.
About your questions on how does sim800 get certificate and where does it save it, it seems, according to sim800_series_ssl_application_note_v1.01.pdf, that you can create (defining your own path), write and import a ssl certificate on your own with the AT+FSCREATE, AT+FSWRITE and AT+SSLSETCERT commands. An example is provided at the paragraph 3.10.
I'm sorry, i can't answer your other questions.
Anyway, if you get further informations about sim800 and ssl, i would be grateful if you share it with me.
When you use AT+CIPSSL you tell the SIM-module to use the SSL connection with TCP. When you use +CIPSTART command->
SIM module requests the TCP connection with the server through SSL.
Server sends the Server SSL certificate.
The authenticity of that certificate is checked with internal certificate authority certificate (The one that resides inside SIM-module) which is cryptographically connected with server certificate.
If the authenticity of certificate can not be confirmed SIM-module will close the connection unless you use the command AT+SSLOPT=0,0 (which forces the SIM-module to ignore invalid certificate authentication) prior to AT+CIPSSL command.
//Key exchange
SIM-module then encrypts it's master key (already inside SIM-module cannot be changed or read) with the public key (Which is part of the already sent server certificate) and sends it back to server.
Server then encrypts it's master key with SIM-module's master-key and sends it back to SIM-module. Key exchange is now complete as both (server and SIM-module) recieved master keys.
SIM-module currently doesn't support Client authentication which means that server cannot authenticate the client. That means there must be some other option of authentication (For example in MQTT that can be username and password that only client knows)
If you want your module to be able to authenticate server you will need to create the self-signed certificate for server and certificate authority certificate (for SIM-module) which is cryptographically connected to self-signed certificate and upload them to server and SIM-module (through AT+SSLSETCERT command from SD card).
If you only want to encrypt the data traffic you can ignore invalid certificate (AT+SSLOPT=0,0) as you will recieve publickey nevertheless. But if you want to be sure about server authenticity you will need to upload right certificate to module.

Biztalk send port cannot find certificate

Good afternoon,
I'm getting the following error trying to use a BizTalk send port to talk to a web service:
"System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot find the X.509 certificate using the following search criteria: StoreName 'My', StoreLocation 'CurrentUser', FindType 'FindByThumbprint'
The send port is configured as type 'WCF-WShttp', 'Transport' security mode, 'Certificate' credential type.
I have a self signed certificate that has the same thumbprint value as shown in the bizTalk configuration dialog. I've checked the file shows the correct thumbprint and it is not expired.
I've tried installing it in the all the following stores:
"Current User": Personal, Trusted Publishers, Trusted People, Trusted CA's
"Local Computer": Personal, Trusted Publishers, Trusted People, Trusted CA's.
When I go to the wcf send port configuration in the BizTalk management console it allows me to browse available certs. Our cert appears and lets me select it.
I made sure the service account for biztalk is added to the cert permissions.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
The client certificate needs to be installed in BizTalk host user account certificate "Personal Store", also make sure any root certificate (if any) is in trusted store and then set it on adapter configuration.
Following these procedures should work. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg634534(v=bts.70).aspx. Probably the most important thing to note is that you must be logged on to the server with the actual account that is running the adapter handler's host instance service. And for a self-signed certificate I think you just need to add it to the Trusted Root CAs for that account too.
Did you copy the thumbprint directly from the mmc to your BizTalk Send Port.
First try to copy it to notepad++ and check if you see any special characters.
If that's the case remove the special characters and then copy that thumbprint to your BizTalk Send Port.

Issuer details are not valid. Issuer details should be registered in advance

I am trying to run a test of the SAML2 SSO using WSO2 Identity Server 4.0.0 M7 but am not successful.
I tried to use the 3.2.3 binary but ran into the bug about long hostnames and the identity.xml file (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9600392/unable-to-configure-wso2-identity-server-for-openid).
These are the examples I'm using:
http://sureshatt.blogspot.com/2012/08/saml20-sso-with-wso2-identity-server.html
http://wso2.org/library/articles/2010/07/saml2-web-browser-based-sso-wso2-identity-server
I've stood up a new Tomcat7 server and configured it for HTTPS, which works cleanly in the browser. The certs are signed by our trusted enterprise CA and both the private key and chain certs are installed.
Same for the WSO2-IS host which has a new wso2carbon.jks with the private key signed by the same CA. I've exported the host cert from wso2carbon.jks and imported same into the client-truststore.jks. The trusted CA-signed certs are also in client-truststore.jks (at this point just to be sure). They are also in wso2carbon.jks (used to trust the CA reply).
I've changed the HostName and MgtHostName in carbon.xml to match the CN in the private key; the Carbon console comes up cleanly with no SSL issues and I can log in using the 'admin' user with no problem. From there I've updated the SSO configuration using the above example links as guides. That works with no errors.
When I go to each site (e.g., saml2.demo, avis.com, etc.) they redirect perfectly to IS to authenticate. However when I log in I get the error in the log "Issuer details are not valid. Issuer details should be registered in advance". And then I'm stuck.
What have I missed?
Have you done the 5th step of the topic 2 Configuring the WSO2 Identity Server ? Please check the value you've registered as the Issuer is as same as the one that comes in the SAML Authentication Request message.

Access client certificate properties from WCF Service

I am writing a WCF service where I need to access the Hash Code of client certificates that are used to connect to the service.
I am looking for a property or method similar to Request.ClientCertificate from ASP.NET 2.0 days but cannot find anything that allows easy access to the client certificate.
Our service is set up such that it is running with SSL using basicHttpBinding and security mode of "Transport".
IIS has been set up to Require SSL and Accept certificates.
One thing to note is that our server certificate used to secure the endpoint is from a different CA to that of the client certificates - the client certificates are intended to be validated solely through custom code (thus the need to get the hash code of a connecting certificate).
I have created a custom implementation of the IDispatchMessageInspector to see if there is any access to a client certificate from there but to no avail.
Has anyone attempted this and had success before?
Looks like what the best option for you would be to implement a custom Certificate Validator for your service. This is basically a class that derives from X509CertificateValidator and is then registered through the config file.
There's more complete information on how to do this on this article.
For reference if anyone else attempts to apply client certificate authentication the following steps were required to get it to work (we are using basicHttpBinding within WCF for this instance and running in a local instance of IIS):
Set up IIS to use a HTTPS binding for the site and secure this in IIS with a server certificate
Within IIS change the SSL Settings for your site to Require SSL and Require client certificates (It must be Require - Accept will not work)
Within the WCF configuration ammend the basicHttpBinding and set security mode to "Transport" and the transport clientCredentialType to "Certificate"
Ensure that the root certificate (the one used to create any client certificates) is within the "Trusted Root Cerrtification Authorities" for the Local Computer on which IIS is running.
NOTE If you are in a development environment you may need to generate your own root certificate, the makecert command line application is very useful for this; simply run the following command:
makecert -n "CN=My Test Auth" -r -cy authority -a sha1 -sv "My Private Key.pvk" TestAuth.cer
This creates a certificate called TestAuth.cer (which needs to be added to the Computer's "Trusted Root Cerrtification Authorities") and a private key file called "My Private Key.pvk".
Now to generate a client certificate you can run this command:
makecert -a sha1 -n "CN=myConnectionCert" -ic "TestAuth.cer" -iv "My Private Key.pvk" -ss My
This created a certificate with a subject of myConnectionCert and adds it to your personal certificate store - when you now access the site (to view the service page for example) IE should prompt you to select the certificate - chose the one you have just created and you should see the service page as normal.
