Enabling client authentication for SSL
To exchange certificates and allow only "trusted" clients to use the Talend Runtime Container HTTP service, you need to follow the following instructions.
-
Enable the HTTP client auth support in the Karaf-based Talend Runtime Container.
When you install the HTTP feature, the container leverages Pax-Web to provide HTTP OSGi service:
karaf@trun> feature:install http
-
Add a custom etc/org.ops4j.pax.web.cfg file with the following content:
org.osgi.service.http.port=8181 org.osgi.service.http.port.secure=9001 org.osgi.service.http.secure.enabled=true org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.keystore=./etc/keystores/keystore.jks org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.password=password org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.keypassword=password #org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.clientauthwanted=false org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.clientauthneeded=true
The clientauthwanted and clientauthneeded properties are valid for Karaf 2.2.x which uses Pax Web 1.0.x. For more information about the version of Karaf your Talend Runtime Container is based on, see the Talend Installation Guide or the Release Notes.
Thanks to the clientauthneeded property, the client is "forced" to be trusted.
