Hi all,
I am trying to secure communications via SSL/TLS for one of our Web Service using CXF 2.2.5. I am wondering how to update client and server Spring configuration file to activate this feature. I found some information on CXF's website (CXF Wiki) for the client configuration, here is the given example:
<http:conduit name="{http://apache.org/hello_world}HelloWorld.http-conduit">
<http:tlsClientParameters>
<sec:keyManagers keyPassword="password">
<sec:keyStore type="JKS" password="password"
file="src/test/java/org/apache/cxf/systest/http/resources/Morpit.jks"/>
</sec:keyManagers>
<sec:trustManagers>
<sec:keyStore type="JKS" password="password"
file="src/test/java/org/apache/cxf/systest/http/resources/Truststore.jks"/>
</sec:trustManagers>
<sec:cipherSuitesFilter>
<!-- these filters ensure that a ciphersuite with
export-suitable or null encryption is used,
but exclude anonymous Diffie-Hellman key change as
this is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks -->
<sec:include>.*_EXPORT_.*</sec:include>
<sec:include>.*_EXPORT1024_.*</sec:include>
<sec:include>.*_WITH_DES_.*</sec:include>
<sec:include>.*_WITH_NULL_.*</sec:include>
<sec:exclude>.*_DH_anon_.*</sec:exclude>
</sec:cipherSuitesFilter>
</http:tlsClientParameters>
<http:authorization>
<sec:UserName>Betty</sec:UserName>
<sec:Password>password</sec:Password>
</http:authorization>
<http:client AutoRedirect="true" Connection="Keep-Alive"/>
</http:conduit>
Concerning this configuration, the
Concerning the server side configuration I am unable to launch the server properly, here is the configuration I have:
<http:destination name="{urn:ihe:iti:xds-b:2007}DocumentRepository_Port_Soap12.http-destination">
</http:destination>
<httpj:engine-factory>
<httpj:engine port="9043">
<httpj:tlsServerParameters>
<sec:keyManagers keyPassword="changeit">
<sec:keyStore type="JKS" password="changeit" file="security/keystore.jks" />
</sec:keyManagers>
<sec:trustManagers>
<sec:keyStore type="JKS" password="changeit" file="security/cacerts.jks" />
</sec:trustManagers>
<sec:cipherSuitesFilter>
<!--

-->
<sec:include>.*_EXPORT_.*</sec:include>
<sec:include>.*_EXPORT1024_.*</sec:include>
<sec:include>.*_WITH_DES_.*</sec:include>
<sec:include>.*_WITH_NULL_.*</sec:include>
<sec:exclude>.*_DH_anon_.*</sec:exclude>
</sec:cipherSuitesFilter>
<sec:clientAuthentication want="true" required="true" />
</httpj:tlsServerParameters>
</httpj:engine>
</httpj:engine-factory>
But when I run my application server (JOnas) with this configuration I have the following error message:
Line 20 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/beans.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'httpj:engine-factory'.
Do you guys know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
