Hi,

I had setup a strong key server using sun app server and my strong key application has properly deployed.I created a client pogram that request to SKS to get keys.This works fine for me as both client and server are on same machine.

I tried to create a new web application that will request for keys using servet and deployed to jboss server which is on other machine.
I am not able to request to SKS server and follwing error was thrown:

I am new to webservice and strong.Please help regarding this issues.Also i tried to run xenc from the machine where jboss is running and it runs fine.

Hi Jayant,

While I'm glad that you got StrongKey working with the Sun AppServer, I'm sorry that you're facing problems with your web application on JBoss.  You shouldn't have to since a web-application that follows the xenc model is no different from xenc requesting a symmetric key from the SKS server.  It is not required that the client be on the same machine as the SKS server - it should work from another machine just as it does from the local machine. 

Based on the error you've shown, it appears that your KeyCachePolicy has expired.  Technically, when this happens, the SKCL will automatically go out and get a new KCP from the server.  If xenc is not seeing a problem with the same key-cache directory, then something is missing in your web-servlet.  I am assuming you've linked in the SKCL jar file into your web application and deployed it like any other servlet/J2EE application.

Try deleting everything from the cache directory (except the cache directory itself) and run the servlet.  See if it is actually getting a new KCP from the SKS server.  It must and will.  If it does not, post the messages from your servlet log that includes the SKCL messages.  You might want to consider taking your log-level to a slightly more fine-grained level to get more detail on the sequence of activities as it passes from your servlet into the SKCL.

Hi Arshad,

Thanks for an immediate reply regarding my query.I tried deleting all the client specific directories but still facing the same problem.One thing i missed to specify that my jboss is running on linux machine.I tried switching to windows machine and it works file.

There is a problem while invoking the code " SOAPMessage secureMsg = xwsp.secureOutboundMessage(pc);".Is there any extra configuration one needs to do while using strong key cleint on linux.Please see below the detailed log:

Apart from this,i have one more question.When a new key is generated and for requesting that new key through a specific end entity,I need to add a key grant for that end entity from strong key GUI.Is it possible to provide a key grant for an end entity for all key that are generated.

Hi Jayant,

It is possible that you're running into an issue that others have seen with the SOAP libraries from Sun.  Take a look at the last message on this thread: http://www.strongauth.com/forum/index.php?topic=54.0  and download the alternate SOAP libraries and see if they solve the problem on Linux.

Another trick you might try is to copy the saaj-impl.jar and saaj-api.jar from your Windows implementation to the Linux machine and see if that makes a difference.  It could be that your Linux jars are corrupt.

Apart from this,i have one more question.When a new key is generated and for requesting that new key through a specific end entity,I need to add a key grant for that end entity from strong key GUI.Is it possible to provide a key grant for an end entity for all key that are generated.

Yes, it is possible.  What you need to do is first create a KeyGroup and add the end-entity to the KeyGroup.  Then you create a KeyGrant that gives the KeyGroup access to all keys created by a specific end-entity.  If you want the end-entity to have access to ALL keys created by all end-entities, then create a Group (which is different from a KeyGroup) and add the end-entities that create symmetric keys to that Group.  Finally, give the KeyGroup a grant to all keys created by the Group.    The end result is that any end-entity within that KeyGroup will have access to all keys created by end-entities within the Group.

I hope you don't find this confusing.  Just remember that a Group is nothing more than a collection of end-entities.  A KeyGroup is a collection of end-entities (again) who have access to keys generated by end-entities or Groups.

Hi Arshad,

Got the problem and now my App was running fine.

There was a problem with jboss classloader which overrides classes in the jars used for strong key.There is an attribute in jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml  named "UseJBossWebLoader" which is set to true causing my strong key App not working.When i set this attribute to false,my app runs fine.So i found an alternative solution to deploy my servelt in different jboss instance which has this attribute set to false.

And thanks for your immediate replys.Will ask more quereis as i get involved more in strong key.
