I need to digitally sign a soap message in a client. A PEM file with both private key and certificate has been given to me. I thought to test with SoapUI.
Configuration for signature is done OK in Outgoing WS Security configuration - see the picture, as well, pem is added OK in Keystore/Certificate tab, but the soap message sent to a service is not signed.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
In your SOAP Request TestStep you have a tab called Aut. (First tab on the left)
There you have to add your Outgoing WSS Configuration.

I was asked to secure my stateless api endpoint using cert based authentication. I read about the subject, and realized I needed to create a middleware to inspect the request, and then check for the x-ARR-ClientCert header, to check whether the certificate is valid or not, based on some thumbprint. So far, so good.
The problem is that I can't test the middleware, because I don't have idea on how to send such a header. I already have a self signed certificate(.crt) and a key(.key). I tried with postman, but I can't see the x-ARR-ClientCert being sent while debugging on VS2017.
Any Help?
Edit 1
I'm following this tutorial: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/kaevans/2016/04/13/azure-web-app-client-certificate-authentication-with-asp-net-core-2/
I know it's a bit old, but at the end the writer shows the browser asking for a certificate, but I just can't manage for the browser to ask for the certificate.
One thing I forgot to mention here, is that my API is on a local Service Fabric Cluster, so that might be the problem
Edit 2
For Postman, I've followed this tutorial: Postman Tutorial, but had no luck: first I had to turn off ssl check, and then when added the certificate to Postman, the x-ARR-ClientCert header wasn't being sent.
I've also tried curl: > curl --cert cert.crt --key client.key https://localhost/api/values --insecure but still the x-ARR-ClientCert isn't being sent.
I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish...
In a mutual certificate authentication, the browser handles the authentication\certificate exchange, and when the user tries to access an endpoint secured by client certificate, the server tells the client(browser) that it requires a certificate to accept the connection and the browser popup a message to the user asking for a certificate to be used, there is a nice write about it here.
If the plan is to do it for automation, the postman blog has an article on how you setup client certificates for this scenario. The other option is trying to send the certificate using CURL as described here.
Secondly, you are reinventing the wheel, there are already some ready to use implementations in kestrel using HttpsConnectionAdapterOptions.ClientCertificateMode = RequireCertificate and some authorization middlewares here and here.
And finally, make sure that there is no proxy in the middle or that the proxy or gateway is not removing the certificate from the client connection.
For the communication with a server API in my iOS app I have to include a client certificate (crt + key file) with every http request. So no ssl pinning, just include a certificate. My customer tells me to send the certificate with the session but don't know how to do this.
How can I do this in Swift ? Any advice / code snippet / example etc appreciated.
Thanks for your help

I have deployed liberty app on IBM cloud. I have setup custom domain and selected "request client certificate" so that clients have to send certificate to access app over TLS. I see client authentication does work, but I do not get any client certificate information in my app. This makes client certificate authentication a bit useless, as I would want to know the id of client which accessed my app. Any help/pointers appreciated.
I looked at attributes of request. Two attributes are passed in request _com.ibm.websphere.servlet.uri_non_decoded_ with value /dummyRelPath and _javax.servlet.request.cipher_suite_ with value of ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 There's no attribute with name javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate passed in request.
Does:
X509Certificate[] certs = (X509Certificate[])
request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate");`
not return any certificates?
In cloud foundry on bluemix, your client should be handshaking with a DataPower proxy. That proxy adds a custom header to indicate the TLS client cert that was provided, then it is passed through the CF gorouter, then finally passed to the JVM.
WebSphere Liberty then surfaces that through the API above.
This is communicated through the $WSCC request header. If the API returns null, it's most likely that header was dropped or never set by the infrastructure, rather than making it all the way there and the API mysteriously losing track of it. You could dump the request headers, looking for this one in particular, and maybe something will stand out (some surprise hop/proxy).
I am trying to send out a WebRequest request like https://identityserver.github.io/Documentation/docsv2/advanced/clientCerts.html specifies with a handler containing the Client Certificate.
I've gotten to the point that i have determined that the ClientCertificate is just not being sent through fiddler, so it is not read in the ServerVariables["CERT_FLAGS"] when the Owin LoadCertificate is called.
So i have removed all the steps from the process except (IdentityServer3.Samples/source/Clients/ClientCertificateConsoleClient/Program.cs)
async Task<TokenResponse> RequestTokenAsync()
{
var cert = new X509Certificate2("Client.pfx");
var handler = new WebRequestHandler();
handler.ClientCertificates.Add(cert);
var client = new TokenClient(
Constants.TokenEndpoint,
"certclient",
handler);
return await client.RequestClientCredentialsAsync("read write");
}
but I am still not seeing in fiddler in the raw request the certificate. I have looked at the source code for HttpWebRequest and only see it handles the ClientCertificate in the GetConnectionGroupLine, and then its a hash code which i also don't see in fiddler. I'm working with Windows 7 and i have turned on the iis client certificate mapping authentication and enabled the setting in iis express applicationhost in the 2015 .vs subfolder and the primary one in my docuemnts. What am I missing here?

TLDR: Your problem (at this point) is Fiddler not HttpWebRequest/dotnet. (Edited to clarify.)
Fiddler doesn't display TLS info including certs. Fiddler works on, and displays in numerous formats, the HTTP-level data (requests and responses, including application data). When HTTPS transports this HTTP data over SSL/TLS, Fiddler does not display the SSL/TLS-specific data, which in addition to server and optional client certificates (currently) includes version, suite, possibly compression, curve, format and next-protocol negotiation, nonces, ephemeral keys, renegotiation control, signature algorithm control, server name indication, ticket, and other crypto options like encrypt-then-mac and extended-master-secret. The "raw" tab displays all the HTTP data without interpretation, but not the SSL/TLS data.
Fiddler doesn't request client auth. An SSL/TLS session uses a client certificate to perform client authentication only when requested by the server, and when your client connects to the real IdentityServer it presumably requests this. But when Fiddler is used, there is one SSL/TLS session from the client to Fiddler, and an entirely separate SSL/TLS session from Fiddler to the server. On the session from your client to Fiddler, Fiddler does not request client authentication, so your client doesn't and can't send or use its certificate.
Client auth can't be relayed anyway. If Fiddler did request client auth on the session from your client, it couldn't use that information to authenticate the session to the real server. Client auth doesn't just send the client cert, it also uses the private key to sign the concatenation (called a transcript) of the handshake messages. Since the handshake between your client and Fiddler and between Fiddler and the server are quite different, this signature is invalid for the server-side handshake and sending it would (correctly) be rejected as invalid by the server.
Instead Fiddler can do the client auth. If you want to route HTTPS traffic using client auth through Fiddler, you need to instead configure Fiddler to do the client auth on the session with the server; for a fixed setting you can just drop the identifying certificate in Fiddler's config directory, for per-session settings you need to write some FiddlerScript. The private key (and chain) needs to be in the Windows cert store, not (just) in a file. See:
http://docs.telerik.com/fiddler/Configure-Fiddler/Tasks/RespondWithClientCert
https://www.fiddlerbook.com/fiddler/help/httpsclientcerts.asp

If your actual problem is getting the client to support client auth when NOT using Fiddler, you need to take Fiddler out of the situation and use other debugging tools like a network trace.
We have Rest web services on a glassfish4 (payara) server
Our rest client is based on httpClient Lib
As Authentication we use certificate and basic auth.
The client work well getting and posting infos to WS
But when we send a multipart post with file bigger than few bytes, parsing the request hang until a timeout
If we disable the certification auth, all is working
Thanks to payara blog, we address the problem: we needed to change a configuration in payara, "Max Save Post Size" in Network Config->Network Listener -> http-listener-2 (the one using ssl) - http tab
