Getting a X509Certificate from a SOAP Security Header

Question

Everybody, Hello!

I have a simple stub client for the cxf web-service (spring app). It uses a WSS4JOutInterceptor with action = "Signature" So that, the soap request message is (header):

Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
Accept: */*
SOAPAction: ""
User-Agent: Apache CXF 2.4.3
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Host: 127.0.0.1:8888
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 1890

< /soap:Header>

Can I somehow create a certificate from this data? There is no any data about validation dates or a public key. May be there is a way to insert a certificate inside a header (not via a Reference/SecurityTokenReference tag)???

Progress:

I've read that to embedd a certificate into a request it is needded to use <entry key="signatureKeyIdentifier" value="DirectReference"/> . So that the request changed to:

Maybe it is simplier to get a certificate from that type of request. But how to do that?

Answer 1

The solution is to use a BinarySecurityToken header's element:

SoapMessage soapMessage = (SoapMessage) message;
SOAPMessage doc = getSOAPMessage(soapMessage);

Element elem = WSSecurityUtil.getSecurityHeader(doc.getSOAPPart(), "");
// get a BinarySignature tag
Node binarySignatureTag = elem.getFirstChild();
BinarySecurity token = new X509Security((Element) binarySignatureTag);

// a X509Certificate construction
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(token.getToken());
CertificateFactory certFactory = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)certFactory.generateCertificate(in);

as you can see, you also need to use the org.apache.ws.security package.
