NPKD Installation with Wildfly 10

This NPKD Installation guide covers how to install NPKD with Wildfly 10:

Set up Wildfly

1. Edit /opt/primekey/wildfly/bin/standalone.conf to increase the memory and force using 2048-bit DH keys

   1. Increase the memory by setting JAVA_OPTS variable to

      CODE

      JAVA_OPTS="-Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"

   2. Force use of 2048-bit DH keys in order to mitigate https://weakdh.org/ by adding the following line:

      CODE

      JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048"

2. If an HSM is to be used, add the following patches to Wildfly in the file /opt/primekey/wildfly/modules/system/layers/base/sun/jdk/main/module.xml after all paths.

   CODE

       <path name="sun/security/pkcs11"/>
       <path name="sun/security/pkcs11/wrapper"/>

3. Add the MariaDB Java Client mariadb-java-client-1.5.2.jar into Wildfly directory

   Run as primekey

   BASH

   cp mariadb-java-client-1.5.2.jar /opt/primekey/wildfly/standalone/deployments/
   

4. Copy the keystore file as /opt/primekey/wildfly/standalone/configuration/keystore/keystore.jks and the trust store as /opt/primekey/wildfly/standalone/configuration/keystore/truststore.jks.

   CODE

   mkdir /opt/primekey/wildfly/standalone/configuration/keystore
   cp truststore.jks keystore.jks /opt/primekey/wildfly/standalone/configuration/keystore/

Configure Wildfly

1. Start Wildfly

   BASH

   sudo systemctl restart wildfly

2. Start JBoss CLI on a different terminal to configure data source:

   BASH

   /opt/primekey/wildfly/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect

3. Add a datasource as follows and make sure to use the right database name, username and password, and the correct date-source name as configured in /opt/primekey/npkd/conf/npkd_deploy.properties:

   Run in JBoss CLI

   XML

   data-source add --name=npkdds --driver-name="mariadb-java-client.jar" --connection-url="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/npkddb" --jndi-name="java:/NpkdDS" --use-ccm=true --driver-class="org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver" --user-name="npkd" --password="npkd" --validate-on-match=true --background-validation=false --prepared-statements-cache-size=50 --share-prepared-statements=true --min-pool-size=5 --max-pool-size=150 --pool-prefill=true --transaction-isolation=TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED --check-valid-connection-sql="select 1;"
   :reload

   If the data source was configured successfully, the output will be similar to:

   CODE

   "outcome" => "success"

4. Configure Wildfly remoting

   CODE

   /subsystem=remoting/http-connector=http-remoting-connector:remove
   /subsystem=remoting/http-connector=http-remoting-connector:add(connector-ref="remoting",security-realm="ApplicationRealm")
   /socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/socket-binding=remoting:add(port="4447")
   /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/http-listener=remoting:add(socket-binding=remoting)
   :reload

5. Configure logging

   CODE

   /subsystem=logging/logger=se.primekey.npkd:add
   /subsystem=logging/logger=se.primekey.npkd:write-attribute(name=level, value=INFO)
   /subsystem=logging/logger=org.cesecore:add
   /subsystem=logging/logger=org.cesecore:write-attribute(name=level, value=INFO)

6. Remove existing TLS and HTTP configuration

   CODE

   /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/http-listener=default:remove
   /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/https-listener=https:remove
   /socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/socket-binding=http:remove
   /socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/socket-binding=https:remove
   :reload

7. Configure TLS

   CODE

   /interface=http:add(inet-address="0.0.0.0")
   /interface=httpspub:add(inet-address="0.0.0.0")
   /interface=httpspriv:add(inet-address="0.0.0.0")
   /socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/socket-binding=http:add(port="8080",interface="http")
   /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/http-listener=http:add(socket-binding=http)
   /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/http-listener=http:write-attribute(name=redirect-socket, value="httpspriv")
   :reload

8. Configure identities and socket bindings:

   CODE

   /core-service=management/security-realm=SSLRealm:add()
   /core-service=management/security-realm=SSLRealm/server-identity=ssl:add(keystore-path="${jboss.server.config.dir}/keystore/keystore.jks", keystore-password="serverpwd", alias="localhost")
   /core-service=management/security-realm=SSLRealm/authentication=truststore:add(keystore-path="${jboss.server.config.dir}/keystore/truststore.jks", keystore-password="changeit")
   /socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/socket-binding=httpspriv:add(port="8443",interface="httpspriv")
   /socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/socket-binding=httpspub:add(port="8442", interface="httpspub")

9. Exit the JBoss CLI:

   CODE

   exit

10. Restart Wildfly

    CODE

    sudo systemctl restart wildfly

11. Connect to the JBoss CLI again to continue configuration

    CODE

    /opt/primekey/wildfly/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect

12. Continue configuring TLS

    CODE

    /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/https-listener=httpspriv:add(socket-binding=httpspriv, security-realm="SSLRealm", verify-client=REQUIRED)
    /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/https-listener=httpspriv:write-attribute(name=max-parameters, value="2048")
    /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/https-listener=httpspub:add(socket-binding=httpspub, security-realm="SSLRealm")
    /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/https-listener=httpspub:write-attribute(name=max-parameters, value="2048")
    :reload

13. Optionally increase the maximum Wildfly upload size (default is 10MB)

    CODE

    /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/https-listener=httpspriv/:write-attribute(name=max-post-size,value=209715200)

14. Finalize Wildfly configuration with some important items:

    CODE

    /system-property=org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH:add(value=true)
    /system-property=org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.ALLOW_BACKSLASH:add(value=true)
    /system-property=org.apache.catalina.connector.URI_ENCODING:add(value="UTF-8")
    /system-property=org.apache.catalina.connector.USE_BODY_ENCODING_FOR_QUERY_STRING:add(value=true)
    /subsystem=webservices:write-attribute(name=wsdl-host, value=jbossws.undefined.host)
    /subsystem=webservices:write-attribute(name=modify-wsdl-address, value=true)
    :reload

15. Since some transactions (like full listing download or rerunning revocation checks) can take a lot of time, default-timeout should be increased from default value 300 seconds. Recommended is half an hour.

    CODE

    /subsystem=transactions:write-attribute(name="default-timeout", value="1800")

16. Exit the CLI

    CODE

    exit

17. Restart Wildfly

    CODE

    sudo systemctl restart wildfly

Deploy NPKD

1. Edit /opt/primekey/npkd/conf/npkd_deploy.properties and set the following properties (please adjust the database properties if not using MariaDB):

   CODE

   datasource.jndi-name=NpkdDS
   datasource.jndi-name-prefix=java:/
   database.name=mysql
   database.driver=org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver

2. Deploy NPKD:

   BASH

   cd /opt/primekey/npkd
   ant deploy-ear

   Make sure that Wildfly deployed without errors

3. Restart Jboss:

   BASH

   sudo systemctl restart wildfly

4. Verify that NPKD has deployed correctly:


   BASH

   tail -n20 /opt/primekey/wildfly/standalone/log/server.log | grep "npkd.ear"

5. Install your SuperAdmin certificate in the web browser.

6. Connect to NPKD in the web browser using the URL: https://localhost:8443/npkd

7. The first time you login to the system, the following message is shown: "Access Control Module is NOT initialized. Error accessing NPKD <SUBJECT DN> is not authorized to access the NPKD GUI". Click Register.
8. Confirm by clicking Yes in the pop-up window.
9. Re-load/refresh the browser.
