3.2. Specifying Trusted CA Certificates
3.2.1. When to Deploy Trusted CA Certificates
Overview
When an application receives an X.509 certificate during an SSL/TLS handshake, the application decides whether or not to trust the received certificate by checking whether the issuer CA is one of a pre-defined set of trusted CA certificates. If the received X.509 certificate is validly signed by one of the application’s trusted CA certificates, the certificate is deemed trustworthy; otherwise, it is rejected.
Which applications need to specify trusted CA certificates?
Any application that is likely to receive an X.509 certificate as part of an HTTPS handshake must specify a list of trusted CA certificates. For example, this includes the following types of application:
- All HTTPS clients.
- Any HTTPS servers that support mutual authentication.
3.2.2. Specifying Trusted CA Certificates for HTTPS
CA certificate format
CA certificates must be provided in Java keystore format.
CA certificate deployment in the Apache CXF configuration file
To deploy one or more trusted root CAs for the HTTPS transport, perform the following steps:
- Assemble the collection of trusted CA certificates that you want to deploy. The trusted CA certificates can be obtained from public CAs or private CAs (for details of how to generate your own CA certificates, see Section 2.5, “Creating Your Own Certificates”). The trusted CA certificates can be in any format that is compatible with the Java
keystoreutility; for example, PEM format. All you need are the certificates themselves—the private keys and passwords are not required. - Given a CA certificate,
cacert.pem, in PEM format, you can add the certificate to a JKS truststore (or create a new truststore) by entering the following command:keytool -import -file cacert.pem -alias CAAlias -keystore truststore.jks -storepass StorePass
Where CAAlias is a convenient tag that enables you to access this particular CA certificate using thekeytoolutility. The file,truststore.jks, is a keystore file containing CA certificates—if this file does not already exist, thekeytoolutility creates one. The StorePass password provides access to the keystore file,truststore.jks. - Repeat step 2 as necessary, to add all of the CA certificates to the truststore file,
truststore.jks. - Edit the relevant XML configuration files to specify the location of the truststore file. You must include the
sec:trustManagerselement in the configuration of the relevant HTTPS ports.For example, you can configure a client port as follows:<!-- Client port configuration --> <http:conduit id="{Namespace}PortName.http-conduit"> <http:tlsClientParameters> ... <sec:trustManagers> <sec:keyStore type="JKS" password="StorePass" file="certs/truststore.jks"/> </sec:trustManagers> ... </http:tlsClientParameters> </http:conduit>Where thetypeattribute specifes that the truststore uses the JKS keystore implementation and StorePass is the password needed to access thetruststore.jkskeystore.Configure a server port as follows:<!-- Server port configuration --> <http:destination id="{Namespace}PortName.http-destination"> <http:tlsServerParameters secureSocketProtocol="TLSv1"> ... <sec:trustManagers> <sec:keyStore type="JKS" password="StorePass" file="certs/truststore.jks"/> </sec:trustManagers> ... </http:tlsServerParameters> </http:destination>ImportantYou must setsecureSocketProtocoltoTLSv1on the server side, in order to protect against the Poodle vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566)WarningThe directory containing the truststores (for example, X509Deploy/truststores/) should be a secure directory (that is, writable only by the administrator).
