CamundaBPM SSO JBoss

This project integrates a Single Sign On (SSO) mechanism into the CamundaBPM cockpit. The main mechanic is done by the JBoss implementation. Therefore, it is needed to configure an Active Directory and the JBoss installation.

Problem

The camunda cockpit have to be secured.

Business Requirements

  • Login once via a SSO mechanic
  • Security has to be implemented by standard JBoss configuration

Technical Requirements

  • Windows Active Directory (AD)
  • JBoss AS7 / EAP 6
  • AD User and Groups for integration in Camunda
  • Dedicated AD User for JBoss Service

Solution

  • Add Kerberos and AD Security-Negotiation to JBoss
  • Configure Camunda-Webapp

Acceptance tests

  • AD User can login into CamundaBPM
  • All GUIs and Restapis are only accessible via AD Login

Get started

Configuration AD

A fully configured AD is needed, because the authentication needs users and groups. Therefore we use the test users eh, TestUser, Administrator and the test group TestGroup. They can be created with the AD standard tooling of a windows server.

  1. Create an AD User (Example: eh)
  2. Create an AD Group (Example: TestGroup)
  3. Execute on cmd Line with admin rights: Create the User Principal:
setspn -A HTTP/nbookeh2.novaDomain.local eh

Create the KeyTab file:

ktpass /out krb5.keytab /mapuser [email protected] /princ HTTP/[email protected] /pass 
    jessica_4321 /kvno 0 /crypto all`

JBoss Configuration

Therefore, we using JBoss AS7/EAP6 is a requirement. So it is needed to add a few configuration lines.

  1. Modify the standalone.xml and add your specific AD information!

  1. Create a login.conf and link it in the JBoss property configuration
com.sun.security.jgss.login {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required client=TRUE useTicketCache=true debug=true renewTGT=true;
};
com.sun.security.jgss.initiate {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required client=TRUE useTicketCache=true debug=true renewTGT=true;
};
com.sun.security.jgss.accept {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required client=TRUE useTicketCache=true debug=true renewTGT=true;
};

Camunda Webapp Configuration

For getting the authentication and authorization from AD, it is needed to modify the camunda webapp. There are 3 configuration steps and a copy step with an adapted security filter of camunda. In this changes, it is important to add the specific authorization group to the web.xml.

Configuration of Windows Kerberos

Kerberos now needs the connection information. This krb5.ini is the standard configuration file of a java kerberos client. It is needed to add the specific AD configuration information.

[appdefaults]
    validate=false
[domain_realm]
    novadDmain.local = "NOVADOMAIN.LOCAL"
    .novaDomain.local = "NOVADOMAIN.LOCAL"
[libdefaults]
    ticket_lifetime = 600
    default_tkt_enctypes = aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 aes256-cts aes128-cts des3-cbc-sha1 rc4-hmac des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc
    default_tgt_enctypes = aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 aes256-cts aes128-cts des3-cbc-sha1 rc4-hmac des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc
    default_tgs_enctypes = aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 aes256-cts aes128-cts des3-cbc-sha1 rc4-hmac des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc
    dns_lookup_kdc = "true"
    forwardable = true
    default_realm = "NOVADOMAIN.LOCAL"
[logging]
[realms]
    NOVADOMAIN.LOCAL = {
        admin_server = "192.168.0.1"
        kdc = "192.168.0.1"
        }

Modify JRE/JDK

The standard JRE/JDK only supports a standard encryption of 128 bit. For getting more security install the other policys. Install UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK7.zip from oracle webpage into the jre/jdk installation dir.
