Login problem when using custom keystore with WSO2 ESB 4.0.3

Problem when using custom keystore in WSO2 ESB 4.0.3


Problem 

I faced following exception[1] when i try to log in to ESB after introduce a new keystore to my ESB. When i introduce the keystore , i generated the keystore with following command which i got from Hasini's blog.


keytool -genkey -alias mycert -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -keypass mypkpassword -keystore mykeystore.jks -storepass mypkpassword

Then i added the keystore name and changed the passwords accordingly as described in above blog post in following files.


  • Axis2.xml - Transport Sender/ Transport Receiver
  • Carbon.xml - Keystore
  • mgt-transports.xml - Https transport

Then i started the ESB and try to log in to the admin console and in the admin console it says

"Login failed! Please recheck Server URL and try again."

When checked the back end log of ESB, i could observe the exception [1]. 

When i am adding the new keystore as mykeystore.jks file and removed the default keystore wso2carbon.jks from the  directory wso2esb-4.0.3/repository/resources/security

Solution

In ESB 4.0.3 , we had the Front end - Back end separation concept. According to that Browser will hit the front end and then front end will do another authentication call to the back end ask illustrated bellow

Browser ---> Front End ---> Back End

In the above sceario, Front end acts as the client and Back end acts as the server. So , in the client server scenario,  Clients trust store needs to have the public certificate of the server. In this case, we need to import the public certificate of my new key to the trust store. 

We can export the public certificate to a .pem file with following command


keytool -export -alias mycert -keystore mykeystore.jks -storepass mypkpassword -file mycert.pem

Then we need to import the above public key to the trust store. We can do it with following command.

keytool -import -alias mynewcert -file mycert.pem -keystore client-truststore.jks -storepass wso2carbon

We can get more clear understanding on this by referring to Hasini's blog. 


Once we do the above change , we can successfully log in to the ESB server. Please note that this scenario is tested for ESB 4.0.3.
