Slave host unable to connect to master with SSL set up (Elytron Configuration)

XMLWordPrintable

      As part of EAP7-632, I'm trying to set up SSL for master-slave communication in a managed domain. I've attached my current setup (XML files), because the files have been stripped of things I don't need, but I'll also describe the elytron mgmt commands that I used to get there:

      First, I created keystores and truststores as I was instructed in upstream documentation. No issues with this. The keystores are in /tmp/keystores/ and I'm using absolute paths to reference them.

      # generate server keystore
      keytool -genkeypair -alias localhost -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -validity 365 -keystore server.keystore.jks -dname "CN=localhost" -keypass secret -storepass secret
      # generate client keystore
      keytool -genkeypair -alias client -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -validity 365 -keystore client.keystore.jks -dname "CN=client" -keypass secret -storepass secret
      # export server certificate
      keytool -exportcert  -keystore server.keystore.jks -alias localhost -keypass secret -storepass secret -file server.cer
      # export client certificate
      keytool -exportcert  -keystore client.keystore.jks -alias client -keypass secret -storepass secret -file client.cer
      # create server truststore (trusts client certificate)
      keytool -importcert -keystore server.truststore.jks -storepass secret -alias client -trustcacerts -file client.cer
      # create client truststore (trusts server certificate)
      keytool -importcert -keystore client.truststore.jks -storepass secret -alias localhost -trustcacerts -file server.cer
      

      Then, I configured the following on my master node:

      /host=master/subsystem=elytron/key-store=twoWayKS:add(path=/tmp/keystores/server.keystore.jks,credential-reference={clear-text=secret},type=JKS)
      /host=master/subsystem=elytron/key-store=twoWayTS:add(path=/tmp/keystores/server.truststore.jks,credential-reference={clear-text=secret},type=JKS)
      /host=master/subsystem=elytron/key-managers=twoWayKM:add(key-store=twoWayKS,algorithm="SunX509",credential-reference={clear-text=secret})
      /host=master/subsystem=elytron/trust-managers=twoWayTM:add(key-store=twoWayTS,algorithm="SunX509")
      /host=master/subsystem=elytron/server-ssl-context=twoWaySSC:add(key-managers=twoWayKM,protocols=["TLSv1.2"],trust-managers=twoWayTM,want-client-auth=true,need-client-auth=true)
      /host=master/core-service=management/management-interface=native-interface:write-attribute(name=ssl-context, value=twoWaySSC)
      

      If I reload the master node now, slave won't be able to connect and will repeatedly throw [1] until slave gives up.

      Then I configured the following on my slave node:

      /host=slave/subsystem=elytron/key-store=twoWayKS:add(path=/tmp/keystores/client.keystore.jks,credential-reference={clear-text=secret},type=JKS)
      /host=slave/subsystem=elytron/key-store=twoWayTS:add(path=/tmp/keystores/client.truststore.jks,credential-reference={clear-text=secret},type=JKS)
      /host=slave/subsystem=elytron/key-managers=twoWayKM:add(key-store=twoWayKS,algorithm="SunX509",credential-reference={clear-text=secret})
      /host=slave/subsystem=elytron/trust-managers=twoWayTM:add(key-store=twoWayTS,algorithm="SunX509")
      /host=slave/subsystem=elytron/client-ssl-context=twoWayCSC:add(key-managers=twoWayKM,protocols=["TLSv1.2"],trust-managers=twoWayTM)
      

      Then I added an authentication-context with a match-rule to the created client-ssl-context:

      /host=slave/subsystem=elytron/authentication-context=slaveHostAContext:write-attribute(name=match-rules,value=[{match-host=127.0.0.1,ssl-context=twoWayCSC}])
      

      and tied the authentication context to the domain-controller in the configuration file:

      <remote host="localhost" port="9999" authentication-context="slaveHostAContext"/>
      

      I think this should be all the configuration that's required. If there's something missing, the upstream documentation doesn't mention it (in fact, it only says how to set up the server-side SSL, not the authentication-context for the slave).

      When I now reload the master and the slave, they throw [1], resp. [2] until slave gives up because it can't connect.

      Note that this blocks EAP7-632, for which SSL setup between master and slave is one of its parts.
