Hi,

I am atempting to secure traffic between an Oracle Weblogic 10 and JBOSS 5.1.0 server. Our project is required to both encrypt the traffic and provide mutual authentication.

I know that my aproach does not secure the JNDI lookup, and that it will configure the entire server, and not just my application.

I think however that this is the fastest way to reach our deadline, withour having to add annotations and such to our beans.

So far I have done the following;

• Created a self signed server certificate using keytool:  keytool -genkey -alias server -keyalg RSA -keystore server.keystore
• Configured the invokerLocator of the bean org.jboss.ejb3.RemotingConnector to use sslsocket transport.

<bean name="org.jboss.ejb3.RemotingConnector">
    <property name="invokerLocator">
      <value-factory bean="ServiceBindingManager"
        method="getStringBinding">
        <parameter>
          jboss.remoting:type=Connector,name=DefaultEjb3Connector,handler=ejb3
        </parameter>
        <parameter>
          <null />
        </parameter>
        <parameter>sslsocket://${jboss.bind.address}:${port}</parameter>
        <parameter>
          <null />
        </parameter>
        <parameter>3873</parameter>
      </value-factory>
    </property>
    <property name="serverConfiguration">
      <inject bean="ServerConfiguration" />
    </property>
</bean>

On the client side, I also generate a self signed certificate: keytool -genkey -alias client -keyalg RSA -keystore client.keystore
I then establish mutual authentication
I export the server certificate from the server keystore and import it into what becomes the 
client truststore
I export the client certificate from the client keystore and import it into what becomes 
the server truststore
I then configure both weblogic and JBOSS with the comamnd line arguments
 
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword
 
I have one-way SSL up and running. If I remove the server certificate from the Client trust store, the handshake 
fails.
 
My problem is; JBOSS does not authenticate the client certificate and accepts all incoming traffic. 
It seems to be ignoring the configured truststore. I have searched all documentation and have 
found nothing on EJB3 over SSL & mutual authentication in JBOSS 5.1.0AS
 
Can anyone help?
