I followed the following example https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-mutual-tls/
In this example two quarkus applications are created, a "server" and a "client". Additionally two java keystores are created, each for one of them.
On the server the server.keystore is used to enable SSL. The resources are reachable via https on the set port.
Now I want to use postman to query these resources. I know that I can add client certificates to postman. For that I need an crt and key file or an pfx file, which is a container like java keystores if I am right. I used keystore explorer (gui tool) to export crt and key file from the server.keystore and added it as client certificate on postman.
But every request I do with postman fails with "Error: error:1e000065:Cipher functions:OPENSSL_internal:BAD_DECRYPT".
Any help or advice?

Good day,
My web application need to connect to IBM third party to get some response. Thus, IBM give me a .p12 file which contain of client certificate.
At first I import this .p12 file into my existing CellDefaultKeyStore, and it will hit certificate chain error.
com.ibm.jsse2.util.j: PKIX path building failed: java.security.cert.CertPathBuilderException: PKIXCertPathBuilderImpl could not build a valid CertPath.; internal cause is:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: The certificate issued by xxx is not trusted; internal cause is:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Certificate chaining error
Then I go import this .p12 file into NodeDefaultKeyStore, and surprisingly its work. My application able to call to the third party and get reponse code 200.
I am not understand how to explain to my client on this.
As my understanding, management scope in CellDefaultKeyStore is bigger because its in cell, NodeDefaultKeyStore should consider part of cell only, suppose CellDefaultKeyStore should work.
Anyone can advise on this?
Just to shortly explain few concepts:
CellDefaultTrustStore - is store for signer certificates, for the servers that you connect to, to be trusted. It is shared by all the nodes and servers by default
NodeDefaultKeyStore - is store for private certs, so the certs that are used for client authentication. Each node by default has its own store and private cert to authenticate.
CellDefaultKeyStore - is store for private certs associated with the cell. Used by deployment manager, not nodes serving apps. It is NOT used by federated nodes.
NodeDefaultSSLSettings - this manages SSL config for the given node, you can check it. By default it is using NodeDefaultKeyStore (not CellDefaultKeyStore), and CellDefaultTrustStore
But back to your question.
If you need to connect to some service using client certificate authentication, what you should do is:
create new keystore with cert from the p12 file
create new truststore with all signer certs required to connect to that service
create new SSL Config that will point to these stores
create Dynamic outbound endpoint SSL configuration settings, pointing to your ssl config, select correct client cert, and specify connection info in the form protocol,host,port
This configuration will be picked up when you will be doing outbound ssl connection that matches info you entered.
I am trying to wrap my head around how this should be set up correctly. I have two certificates, a client certificate and a service certificate. I've placed these in the MMC, on the service account for the host instance that handles the send port. So the client certificate is placed in the Personal folder and the service certificate is placed in the Trusted People folder.
I've tried using several "Find" methods to locate these certificates, such as thumbrprint and serial number, but I always get a "Certificate not found" exception back.
My current settings on the adapter.
Client certificate:
Service certificate:
My settings for Authentication:
SSL Certificate Authentication settings:
What is the correct way to add the certificates to the different stores, so that they can be located by Biztalk? I've found the MSDN documentation on the topic, but it doesn't really provide any answers: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/wcf/clientcertificate-of-clientcredentials-element
You have to be logged in as the BizTalk Service Account to manage Certificates. Run As doesn't typically work.
Other than that, the instructions should be correct.
I need to configure an application to accept connection only from client with a certificate, the client should be ApiGateway.
I followed this step by step tutorial. But when I should upload a certificate and enable a checkbox called "Enable request of client certificate" in upload dialog box it disappear.
I tried with many browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) on a Mac. I'm quite that this not depend on browser, so now how can do the same thing?
Thanks for every answer.
From my understanding, the given task needs to be separated into two activities.
Client with certificate
A client with DNS APIgateway
Client with Certificate
In general, when we create an API, we expose with a gateway via HTTP protocol which has some signed certificate (Production). Please provide that public certificate to the consumer of your API. And you can test this using postman, we have an option of SSL certificate upload in Postman, make a use of it for testing.
Client with DNS Name
For this, in Datapower (API Gateway), you can create an Access control list following this IBM documentation. Access control list is something, we allow or restrict the host that we consume the services exposed using Datapower.
In order to secure my Rest Services, I have enabled SSL in IIS and Created a Self-Signed Certificate and assigned it to the HTTPS binding in IIS. I exported the same as pfx file and added the same in IE also but when I try to access the Services, I get the following error on Windows 7, Enterprise edition
HTTP Error 403.7 - Forbidden
The page you are attempting to access requires your browser to have a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client certificate that the Web server recognizes.
And on Windows Server 2003, this is
HTTP Error 403.7 - Forbidden: SSL client certificate is required.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
I am not sure what shall I do except adding the certificate in IE under “Personal” and “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”? Could you please suggest me some step, in order to make this work.
Note: I have tried with “Self-Signed Certificates” as well as with Certificates generated from Microsoft “Certificate Services” also.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
SSL is used to verify the identity of the server, not the identity of the client. The error suggests (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/199215, "This is used for authenticating you as a valid user of the resource. ") the server wants to identify the client. Which of the two are you trying to do?
Edit: SSL requires the public part of the SSL certificate to be available to the client. Adding it to the trusted root certificates seems to me to be the only way to make the public part of a self-signed certificate available to the browser.
I'm working on Jboss 5 and WAS 7.
I was able to run my application via Mutual Authentication on Jboss following this doc,
https://community.jboss.org/wiki/SSLSetup/
Following the above doc I created server.keystore and server.truststore files that I injected into the Jboss server and everything works fine.
Now, I want to run the same application via Mutual Auth on WAS.
On WAS, the trust store and keystore are specified by navigating to
Security > SSL certificate and key management > SSL configurations > New > Key
stores and certificates
But there I don't see any type related to .keystore and .truststore.(snap below)
My question - what is the equivalent of .keystore and .truststore that can be used in WAS OR what's the way to set up a Browser based Mutual Authentication on a WAS server.
I'm using WAS 7.0.0.21.
Keystores and truststores are the same format in WebSphere. You choose the file format, but any of those formats can be used for either store.
You then point a configuration at specific files.
Security > SSL certificate and key management > Manage endpoint security configurations
Alternatively, what has been simpler for us is to use the existing default stores WebSphere already has and add our certificates to those.
Security > SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates > CellDefaultKeyStore
Or CellDefaultTrustStore or NodeDefaultKeyStore, etc.
The link helped me setup SSL on WAS. I just had to add a couple of steps to enable it for Browser based Mutual Authentication.
Since, I had to do a POC hence I'm using Self Signed Certificates.
In a ideal scenario Certificates will be signed by a Certificate Authority and the Certificate of Certificate Authority will be imported to the Trust Store of a WAS Server.
Here are the steps,
Change the password for Default KeyStore and Default TrustStore in WAS
Create a Client Certificate in WAS
Create a Server Certificate in WAS
Export the Client Certificate in PKCS format, e.g. client.p12
Export the Server Certificate in PKCS format, e.g. server.p12
Import the Client Certificate to Default TrustStore
Import the Server Certificate to Default TrustStore
Enable SSL on WAS.
i. Make sure the to select server certificate for both Default server certificate alias and the Default client certificate alias.
ii. In the Quality of protection (QoP) settings, choose Client Authentication as Required.
Create a Web Container Transport Chain with a new SSL port, e.g. 9444.
Add the newly created SSL port to the virtual Host.
Restart the Server.
Import the Client Certificate created in Step 4 client.p12 to the Browser.
