This document describes detailed steps to perform to secure DILIGENT services.
+
This document is the main entry point of the DILIGENT security documentations.
  
=Configure DHN security=
+
The [DILIGENT Security Model] page describes the security model adopted in the DILIGENT infrastructure.
  
This step must be performed only once when the DHN is installed. With this step CA certificates and DHN credentials are installed. At the end the container is ready to host secure services.
+
The [How To Configure Security] page contains useful information about configuration of DHN and services to comply with the DILIGENT Security Model
  
==Install credentials==
+
The [Security Troubleshooting] page can helps you to solve common issues related to DILIGENT security.
 
+
===Install CA certificates===
+
 
+
Follows [http://glite.web.cern.ch/glite/packages/R3.0/R20060502/doc/installation_guide_3.0-2.html#_Toc135537472 this] document to install trusted CA certificates in your new DHN node.
+
 
+
You have now to install certificates of the CA trusted in DILIGENT. You can find these certificates in rpm format [http://dlib.sns.it/bscw/bscw.cgi/0/19457 here]
+
It is always a good idea to (periodically) refresh Certificates Revocation Lists (CRL), these lists contains certificates revoked by trusted CAs. To refresh these certificate execute this command: <code>/usr/sbin/fetch-crl -o /etc/grid-security/certificates</code>
+
 
+
===Install host credentials===
+
 
+
copy host certificate and private key respectively in:
+
 
+
* <code>/etc/grid-security/hostpubliccert.pem</code> (please check that the certificate file has -rw-r--r-- permissions)
+
* <code>/etc/grid-security/hostprivatekey.pem</code> (please check that the private key file has -r-------- permissions).
+
 
+
You can obtain host credentials (certificate and private key from an official Certification Authority)
+
 
+
===Configure container security===
+
 
+
Set Global security descriptor of Java-WS-Core container contained in file <code>$GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus_wsrf_core/global_security_descriptor.xml</code>.
+
 
+
See [[Media:global_security_descriptor.xml]] example.
+
 
+
Modify the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus_wsrf_core/server-config.wsdd file adding following lines inside the <code><globalConfiguration></code> tag:
+
 
+
<parameter name="logicalHost" value="yourHostName.yourDomain">
+
<parameter name="publishHostName" value="true"/>
+
+
<parameter name="containerSecDesc" value="etc/globus_wsrf_core/global_security_descriptor.xml"/>
+
 
+
(of course you have to replace yourHostName and yourDomain properties with correct values, E.g: grids15.eng.it)
+
 
+
==Deploy required libraries and services==
+
 
+
Following libraries must be copied in the local <code>$GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib</code> directory
+
 
+
* bcprov-jdk14-122.jar : bouncycastle encryption library
+
* glite-security-util-java.jar : gLite security libraries
+
* dvos.authentication-api.jar : authentication utility classes
+
* dvos.delegation-stubs.jar : delegation stubs
+
* dvos.authorization-stubs.jar : authorization stubs
+
* dvos.authorization-api.jar : authorization API
+
 
+
Following gar files must be deployed in your DHN
+
 
+
* dvos.common.gar : common DVOS classes and XML data types
+
* dvos.delegation-service.gar : delegation service
+
 
+
All these packages are available [http://grids17.eng.it/engrepository/ here] except for the bouncycastle one (the first one) you can find [http://www.bouncycastle.org/download/bcprov-jdk14-122.jar here]
+
 
+
Please install the 0_1_1 version of DVOS components (most stable versions).
+
 
+
Then start contianer using the <code>-nosec</code> option (This disable HTTPS transport and enbale GSISecureConversation support)
+
 
+
=Configure service authentication=
+
 
+
This configuration protect the service against unauthenticated access, setting it each client is forced to present valid credentials. Please notice that authorization is still not enforced on the service (every authenticated client is entitled to use service operations).
+
 
+
==Create Web Service Security Descriptor (WSSD)==
+
 
+
Create the Web Service Security Descriptor. A different security descriptor file should be created for each interface of your service in the <code>etc/</code> directory of your service. See [[Media:YourService-security-config-1.xml]] for an example.
+
 
+
==Modify Web Service Deployment Descriptor (WSDD)==
+
 
+
Modify the Web Service Deployment Descriptor to refer the Web Service Security Descriptor. Add following line to the service tag:
+
 
+
<parameter name="securityDescriptor" value="@config.dir@/YourService-security-config.xml"/>
+
 
+
(of course the value must be set to the name of the WSSD you just created) See [[Media:deploy-server-1.wsdd]] for an example
+
 
+
Then redeploy your service in the DHN container.
+
 
+
=Access a service using authentication=
+
 
+
In this step you'll try to access the deployed service with a client using authentication First of all try to contact your service using an unauthenticated client, you should get following Axis fault:
+
 
+
... GSI Secure Conversation authentication required for
+
&quot;{<nowiki>http://www.diligentproject.org/namespaces/</nowiki>...&quot; operation.
+
 
+
This means that the GSI Secure Conversation mechanism is required to invoke the service. To enable it perform following steps.

This document is the main entry point of the DILIGENT security documentations.

The [DILIGENT Security Model] page describes the security model adopted in the DILIGENT infrastructure.

The [How To Configure Security] page contains useful information about configuration of DHN and services to comply with the DILIGENT Security Model

The [Security Troubleshooting] page can helps you to solve common issues related to DILIGENT security.
