Question

I have created a web service in netbeans with METRO. I modified my web service wsit config for using Usernametoken authentication (without encryption).

My PasswordValidator

package org.test;
import com.sun.xml.wss.impl.callback.PasswordValidationCallback;
import com.sun.xml.wss.impl.callback.PasswordValidationCallback.PasswordValidationException;
import com.sun.xml.wss.impl.callback.PasswordValidationCallback.Request;
public class MyAuth implements PasswordValidationCallback.PasswordValidator
{
    @Override
    public boolean validate(Request request) throws PasswordValidationException {
        PasswordValidationCallback.PlainTextPasswordRequest ptreq 
            = (PasswordValidationCallback.PlainTextPasswordRequest)request;
        //Database query
        return CheckUserInDateBase(ptreq.getPassword(), ptreq.getUsername());
    }
}

Now i need authorize user with his username and password and check his role (every method of web service has annotation RolesAllowed). I have created SOAP handler for my web service where I trying to get username and password from soap headers, but header doesnt contains this information (when i get this header in handler).
Actually SOAP message looks like

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <S:Header>
        <macAddress xmlns="http://ws.mkyong.com/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP-ENV:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next">F8-D1-11-01-36-20</macAddress>
        <wsse:Security S:mustUnderstand="1">
            <wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:ns15="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2006/02/addressingidentity" xmlns:ns14="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-secureconversation/200512" xmlns:ns13="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" wsu:Id="uuid_48e60f1c-aea9-4bcc-897f-ef661fe2895b">
                <wsse:Username>myusername</wsse:Username>
                <wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">mypass</wsse:Password>
            </wsse:UsernameToken>
        </wsse:Security>
    </S:Header>
    <S:Body>
        <ns2:hello xmlns:ns2="http://test.org/">
            <name>aaaa</name>
        </ns2:hello>
    </S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

When I trying to extract header’s child elements I’m getting only macAddress header (my custom header)

@Override  
public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext context) {  
    Iterator i = context.getMessage().getSOAPPart().getEnvelope().getHeader().getChildElements();
    return true;
} 

So. How can I access to wssecurity headers? Or maybe has another way to check user role before execution web service method?

Answer 1

Instead of checking at your validator, store the username and password using ThreadLocal then apply your authentication roles within the service implementation as below. In my case, I used this approach to throw a custom exception.

My Validator:

/**
* @author SaudAlajmi
*
*/
public class PasswordValidator implements PasswordValidationCallback.PasswordValidator {
/* I used this approach because they need to throw a custom exception in case of authentication failure, as far as I know there is no such way
 * to do it especially since the validator does not have access to the WebServiceContext, but this way and it is safe because every thread has
 * it is own copy and that's why I used ThreadLocal;
 */
private static final ThreadLocal<String> username = new ThreadLocal<String>();
private static final ThreadLocal<String> password = new ThreadLocal<String>();

public boolean validate(Request request) throws PasswordValidationException {
    PasswordValidationCallback.PlainTextPasswordRequest ptreq = (PasswordValidationCallback.PlainTextPasswordRequest) request;
    password.set(ptreq.getPassword());
    username.set(ptreq.getUsername());
    return true;
}
public static String getUsername() {
    String user = username.get();
    username.remove();
    return user;
}
public static String getPassword() {
    String pwd= password.get();
    password.remove();
    return pwd;
}

}

My Service Impl:

String username = PasswordValidator.getUsername();
String password = PasswordValidator.getPassword();
if(username == null || !"test".equals(username) || password == null ||!"test".equals(password)){
faultInfo = new CommonErrorStructure();
faultInfo.setCode("KFSH000401");
faultInfo.setErrorText("Username/Password is incorrect");
faultInfo.setRaisedBy("PatientRecordService");
throw new GetPatientRecordError("Authentication Failure", faultInfo);
}
