[[configure-authentication-with-a-properties-file-based-identity-store]]
=== Configure Authentication with a Properties File-Based Identity Store

[[create-properties-files]]
==== Create properties files:

You need to create two properties files: one that maps user to passwords
and another that maps users to roles. Usually these files are located in
the _jboss.server.config.dir_ directory and follow the naming convention
_*-users.properties_ and _*-roles.properties_, but other locations and
names may be used. The _*-users.properties_ file must also contain a
reference to the _properties-realm_, which you will create in the next
step: _#$REALM_NAME=YOUR_PROPERTIES_REALM_NAME$_

*Example user to password file: example-users.properties*

....
#$REALM_NAME=examplePropRealm$
user1=password123
user2=password123
....

*Example user to roles file: example-roles.properties*

....
user1=Admin
user2=Guest
....

----

The name of the _properties-realm_ is _examplePropRealm_, which is used
in the previous step in the _example-users.properties_ file. Also, if
your properties files are located outside of _jboss.server.config.dir_,
then you need to change the _path_ and _relative-to_ values
appropriately.

Your application's _web.xml_ and _jboss-web.xml_ must be updated to use
the _application-security-domain_ you configured in WildFly. An example
of this is available in the
<<configure-applications-to-use-elytron-or-legacy-security-for-authentication,Configure
Applications to Use Elytron or Legacy Security for Authentication>>
section.

[[configure-authentication-with-a-filesystem-based-identity-store]]
=== Configure Authentication with a Filesystem-Based Identity Store

[[chose-a-directory-for-users]]
==== Chose a directory for users:

You need a directory where your users will be stored. In this example,
we are using a directory called _fs-realm-users_ located in
_jboss.server.config.dir_.

[[configure-a-filesystem-realm-in-wildfly]]
==== Configure a filesystem-realm in WildFly:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm:add(path=fs-realm-users,relative-to=jboss.server.config.dir)
----

If your directory is located outside of _jboss.server.config.dir_, then
you need to change the _path_ and _relative-to_ values appropriately.

[[add-a-user]]
==== Add a user:

When using the _filesystem-realm_, you can add users using the
management CLI.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm:add-identity(identity=user1)

/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm:add-identity-attribute(identity=user1, name=Roles, value=["Admin","Guest"])
----

[[add-a-simple-role-decoder]]
==== Add a simple-role-decoder:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/simple-role-decoder=from-roles-attribute:add(attribute=Roles)
----

This _simple-role-decoder_ decodes a principal's roles from the _Roles_
attribute. You can change this value if your roles are in a different
attribute.

[[configure-a-security-domain-1]]
==== Configure a security-domain:

[source,options="nowrap"]

[[configure-your-applications-web.xml-and-jboss-web.xml.-1]]
==== Configure your application's web.xml and jboss-web.xml.

Your application's _web.xml_ and _jboss-web.xml_ must be updated to use
the _application-security-domain_ you configured in WildFly. An example
of this is available in the
<<configure-applications-to-use-elytron-or-legacy-security-for-authentication,Configure
Applications to Use Elytron or Legacy Security for Authentication>>
section.

Your application is now using a filesystem-based identity store for
authentication.

[[configure-authentication-with-a-database-identity-store]]
=== Configure Authentication with a Database Identity Store

[[determine-your-database-format-for-usernames-passwords-and-roles]]
==== Determine your database format for usernames, passwords, and roles:

To set up authentication using a database for an identity store, you
need to determine how your usernames, passwords, and roles are stored in
that database. In this example, we are using a single table with the
following sample data:

[cols=",,",options="header"]
|=========================
|username |password |roles
|user1 |password123 |Admin
|user2 |password123 |Guest
|=========================

[[configure-a-datasource]]
==== Configure a datasource:

To connect to a database from WildFly, you must have the appropriate
database driver deployed as well as a datasource configured. This
example shows deploying the driver for postgres and configuring a
datasource in WildFly:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
deploy /path/to/postgresql-9.4.1210.jar
 
data-source add --name=examplePostgresDS --jndi-name=java:jboss/examplePostgresDS --driver-name=postgresql-9.4.1210.jar  --connection-url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgresdb --user-name=postgresAdmin --password=mysecretpassword
----

[[configure-a-jdbc-realm-in-wildfly]]
==== Configure a jdbc-realm in WildFly:

----

*NOTE:* The above example shows how to obtain passwords and roles from a
single _principal-query_. You can also create additional
_principal-query_ with _attribute-mapping_ attributes if you require
multiple queries to obtain roles or additional authentication or
authorization information.

[[configure-a-security-domain-2]]
==== Configure a security-domain:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/security-domain=exampleDbSD:add(realms=[{realm=exampleDbRealm,role-decoder=groups-to-roles}],default-realm=exampleDbRealm,permission-mapper=default-permission-mapper)

[[configure-your-applications-web.xml-and-jboss-web.xml.-2]]
==== Configure your application's web.xml and jboss-web.xml.

Your application's _web.xml_ and _jboss-web.xml_ must be updated to use
the _application-security-domain_ you configured in WildFly. An example
of this is available in the
<<configure-applications-to-use-elytron-or-legacy-security-for-authentication,Configure
Applications to Use Elytron or Legacy Security for Authentication>>
section.

[[configure-authentication-with-an-ldap-based-identity-store]]
=== Configure Authentication with an LDAP-Based Identity Store

[[determine-your-ldap-format-for-usernames-passwords-and-roles]]
==== Determine your LDAP format for usernames, passwords, and roles:

To set up authentication using an LDAP server for an identity store, you
need to determine how your usernames, passwords, and roles are stored.
In this example, we are using the following structure:

[source,java,options="nowrap"]
----
dn: dc=wildfly,dc=org
dc: wildfly
objectClass: top
objectClass: domain
 
dn: ou=Users,dc=wildfly,dc=org
objectClass: organizationalUnit

dn: cn=Admin,ou=Roles,dc=wildfly,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfNames
cn: Admin
member: uid=jsmith,ou=Users,dc=wildfly,dc=org
----

[[configure-a-dir-context]]
==== Configure a dir-context:

To connect to the LDAP server from WildFly, you need to configure a
_dir-context_ that provides the URL as well as the principal used to
connect to the server.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/dir-context=exampleDC:add(url="ldap://127.0.0.1:10389",principal="uid=admin,ou=system",credential-reference={clear-text="secret"})
----

[[configure-an-ldap-realm-in-wildfly]]

----

This example shows creating an _http-authentication-factory_ using
_BASIC_ authentication, but it could be updated to other mechanisms such
as _FORM_.

[[configure-an-application-security-domain-in-the-undertow-subsystem-3]]
==== Configure an application-security-domain in the Undertow subsystem:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=undertow/application-security-domain=exampleApplicationDomain:add(http-authentication-factory=example-ldap-http-auth)
----

[[configure-your-applications-web.xml-and-jboss-web.xml.-3]]
==== Configure your application's web.xml and jboss-web.xml.

Your application's _web.xml_ and _jboss-web.xml_ must be updated to use
the _application-security-domain_ you configured in WildFly. An example
of this is available in the
<<configure-applications-to-use-elytron-or-legacy-security-for-authentication,Configure
Applications to Use Elytron or Legacy Security for Authentication>>
section.

*IMPORTANT:* In cases where you configure an LDAP server in the
_elytron_ subsystem for authentication and that LDAP server then becomes
unreachable, WildFly will return a _500_, or internal server error,
error code when attempting authentication using that unreachable LDAP
server. This behavior differs from the legacy _security_ subsystem,
which will return a _401_, or unauthorized, error code under the same
conditions.

[[configure-authentication-with-certificates]]
=== Configure Authentication with Certificates

*IMPORTANT:* Before you can set up certificate-based authentication, you
must have two-way SSL configured.

[[configure-a-key-store-realm.]]
==== Configure a key-store-realm.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/key-store-realm=ksRealm:add(key-store=twoWayTS)
----

You must configure this realm with a truststore that contains the
client's certificate. The authentication process uses the same
certificate presented by the client during the two-way SSL handshake.

[[create-a-decoder.]]
==== Create a Decoder.

You need to create a _x500-attribute-principal-decoder_ to decode the
principal you get from your certificate. The below example will decode
the principal based on the first _CN_ value.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/x500-attribute-principal-decoder=CNDecoder:add(oid="2.5.4.3",maximum-segments=1)
----

For example, if the full _DN_ was
_CN=client,CN=client-certificate,DC=example,DC=jboss,DC=org_,
_CNDecoder_ would decode the principal as _client_. This decoded
principal is used as the _alias_ value to lookup a certificate in the
truststore configured in _ksRealm_.

*IMPORTANT:* The decoded principal * *MUST** must be the _alias_ value
you set in your server's truststore for the client's certificate.

[[add-a-constant-role-mapper-for-assigning-roles.]]
==== Add a constant-role-mapper for assigning roles.

This is example uses a _constant-role-mapper_ to assign roles to a
principal from _ksRealm_ but other approaches may also be used.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/constant-role-mapper=constantClientCertRole:add(roles=[Admin,Guest])
----

[[configure-a-security-domain.]]
==== Configure a security-domain.

----

[[configure-your-applications-web.xml-and-jboss-web.xml.-4]]
==== Configure your application's web.xml and jboss-web.xml.

Your application's _web.xml_ and _jboss-web.xml_ must be updated to use
the _application-security-domain_ you configured in WildFly. An example
of this is available in the
<<configure-applications-to-use-elytron-or-legacy-security-for-authentication,Configure
Applications to Use Elytron or Legacy Security for Authentication>>
section.

In addition, you need to update your _web.xml_ to use _CLIENT-CERT_ as
its authentication method.

[[configure-authentication-with-a-kerberos-based-identity-store]]
=== Configure Authentication with a Kerberos-Based Identity Store

*IMPORTANT*: The following steps assume you have a working KDC and
Kerberos domain as well as your client browsers configured.

[[configure-a-kerberos-security-factory.]]
==== Configure a kerberos-security-factory.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/kerberos-security-factory=krbSF:add(principal="HTTP/host@REALM",path="/path/to/http.keytab",mechanism-oids=[1.2.840.113554.1.2.2,1.3.6.1.5.5.2])
----

[[configure-the-system-properties-for-kerberos.]]
==== Configure the system properties for Kerberos.

Depending on how your environment is configured, you will need to set
some of the system properties below.

[cols=",",options="header"]
|======================================================================
|System Property |Description
|java.security.krb5.kdc |The host name of the KDC.
|java.security.krb5.realm |The name of the realm.

----

[[configure-an-eltyron-security-realm-for-assigning-roles.]]
==== Configure an Eltyron security realm for assigning roles.

The the client's Kerberos token will provide the principal, but you need
a way to map that principal to a role for your application. There are
several ways to accomplish this, but this example creates a
_filesystem-realm_, adds a user to the realm that matches the principal
from the Kerberos token, and assigns roles to that user.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm:add(path=fs-realm-users,relative-to=jboss.server.config.dir)
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm/identity=user1@REALM:add()
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm/identity=user1@REALM:add-attribute(name=Roles, value=["Admin","Guest"])

[[add-a-simple-role-decoder.]]
==== Add a simple-role-decoder.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/simple-role-decoder=from-roles-attribute:add(attribute=Roles)
----

This _simple-role-decoder_ decodes a principal's roles from the _Roles_
attribute. You can change this value if your roles are in a different
attribute.

[[configure-a-security-domain.-1]]
==== Configure a security-domain.

[source,options="nowrap"]

[[configure-your-applications-web.xml-jboss-web.xml-and-jboss-deployment-structure.xml.]]
==== Configure your application's web.xml, jboss-web.xml and
jboss-deployment-structure.xml.

Your application's _web.xml_ and _jboss-web.xml_ must be updated to use
the _application-security-domain_ you configured in WildFly. An example
of this is available in the
<<configure-applications-to-use-elytron-or-legacy-security-for-authentication,Configure
Applications to Use Elytron or Legacy Security for Authentication>>
section.

In addition, you need to update your _web.xml_ to use _SPNEGO_ as its
authentication method.

[[configure-authentication-with-a-form-as-a-fallback-for-kerberos]]
=== Configure Authentication with a Form as a Fallback for Kerberos

[[configure-kerberos-based-authentication.]]
==== Configure kerberos-based authentication.

Configuring kerberos-based authentication is covered in a previous
section.

[[add-a-mechanism-for-form-authentication-in-the-http-authentication-factory.]]
==== Add a mechanism for FORM authentication in the
http-authentication-factory.

You can use the existing _http-authentication-factory_ you configured
for kerberos-based authentication and and an additional mechanism for
_FORM_ authentication.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/http-authentication-factory=example-krb-http-auth:list-add(name=mechanism-configurations, value={mechanism-name=FORM})
----

[[add-additional-fallback-principals.]]
==== Add additional fallback principals.

The existing configuration for kerberos-based authentication should
already have a security realm configured for mapping principals from
kerberos token to roles for the application. You can add additional
users for fallback authentication to that realm. For example if you used
a _filesystem-realm_, you can simply create a new user with the
appropriate roles:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm/identity=fallbackUser1:add()
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm/identity=fallbackUser1:set-password(clear={password="password123"})
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm/identity=fallbackUser1:add-attribute(name=Roles, value=["Admin","Guest"])
----

[[update-the-web.xml-for-form-fallback.]]
==== Update the web.xml for FORM fallback.

You need to update the _web.xml_ to use the value _SPNEGO,FORM_ for the
_auth-method_, which will use _FORM_ as a fallback authentication method
if _SPNEGO_ fails. You also need to specify the location of your login
and error pages.

[source,xml,options="nowrap"]
----
<login-config>

[[configure-applications-to-use-elytron-or-legacy-security-for-authentication]]
=== Configure Applications to Use Elytron or Legacy Security for
Authentication

After you have configured the _elytron_ or legacy _security_ subsystems
for authentication, you need to configure your application to use it.

[[configure-your-applications-web.xml.]]
==== Configure your application's web.xml.

Your application's _web.xml_ needs to be configured to use the
appropriate authentication method. When using _elytron_, this is defined
in the _http-authentication-factory_ you created. When using the legacy
_security_ subsystem, this depends on your login module and the type of
authentication you want to configure.

Example _web.xml_ with _BASIC_ Authentication

[source,xml,options="nowrap"]
----
<web-app>
  <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>secure</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/secure/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
      <role-name>Admin</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
  </security-constraint>
  <security-role>
    <description>The role that is required to log in to /secure/*</description>
    <role-name>Admin</role-name>
  </security-role>
  <login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>exampleApplicationDomain</realm-name>
  </login-config>
</web-app>
----

_BASIC_ Authentication can be configured to be silent
[source, xml]
----
<auth-method>BASIC?silent=true</auth-method>
----
Basic authentication in silent mode will send challenge to authenticate only if the request
contained authorization header, otherwise it is assumed another method will send the challenge.

[[configure-your-application-to-use-a-security-domain.]]
==== Configure your application to use a security domain.

You can configure your application's _jboss-web.xml_ to specify the
security domain you want to use for authentication. When using the
_elytron_ subsystem, this is defined when you created the
_application-security-domain_. When using the legacy _security_
subsystem, this is the name of the legacy security domain.

Example _jboss-web.xml_

[source,xml,options="nowrap"]
----
<jboss-web>
  <security-domain>exampleApplicationDomain</security-domain>
</jboss-web>
----

Using _jboss-web.xml_ allows you to configure the security domain for a
single application only. Alternatively, you can specify a default
security domain for all applications using the _undertow_ subsystem.
This allows you to omit using _jboss-web.xml_ to configure a security
domain for an individual application.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=undertow:write-attribute(name=default-security-domain, value="exampleApplicationDomain")
----

*IMPORTANT*: Setting _default-security-domain_ in the _undertow_
subsystem will apply to *ALL* applications. If _default-security-domain_
is set and an application specifies a security domain in a
_jboss-web.xml_ file, the configuration in _jboss-web.xml_ will override
the _default-security-domain_ in the _undertow_ subsystem.

[[using-elytron-and-legacy-security-subsystems-in-parallel]]
==== Using Elytron and Legacy Security Subsystems in Parallel

You can define authentication in both the _elytron_ and legacy
_security_ subsystems and use them in parallel. If you use both
_jboss-web.xml_ and _default-security-domain_ in the _undertow_
subsystem, WildFly will first try to match the configured security
domain in the _elytron_ subsystem. If a match is not found, then WildFly
will attempt to match the security domain with one configured in the
legacy _security_ subsystem. If the _elytron_ and legacy _security_
subsystem each have a security domain with the same name, the _elytron_
security domain is used.

[[override-an-applications-authentication-configuration]]
=== Override an Application's Authentication Configuration

You can override the authentication configuration of an application with
one configured in WildFly. To do this, use the
_override-deployment-configuration_ property in the
_application-security-domain_ section of the _undertow_ subsystem:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=undertow/application-security-domain=exampleApplicationDomain:write-attribute(name=override-deployment-config,value=true)
----

For example, an application is configured to use _FORM_ authentication
with the _exampleApplicationDomain_ in its _jboss-web.xml_.

_Example jboss-web.xml_

[source,xml,options="nowrap"]
----
<login-config>
  <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
  <realm-name>exampleApplicationDomain</realm-name>
</login-config>
----

By enabling _override-deployment-configuration_, you can create a new
_http-authentication-factory_ that specifies a different authentication
mechanism such as _BASIC_.

_Example http-authentication-factory_

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/http-authentication-factory=exampleHttpAuth:read-resource()
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => {
        "http-server-mechanism-factory" => "global",
        "mechanism-configurations" => [{
            "mechanism-name" => "BASIC",
            "mechanism-realm-configurations" => [{"realm-name" => "exampleApplicationDomain"}]
        }],
        "security-domain" => "exampleSD"
    }
}
----

This will override the authentication mechanism defined in the
application's _jboss-web.xml_ and attempt to authenticate a user using
_BASIC_ instead of _FORM_.

[[silent-authentication]]
=== Silent Authentication

By default, WildFly provides an authentication mechanism for local
users, also know as silent authentication, through the _local_ security
realm.

Silent authentication must be used via a _sasl-authentication-factory_.

*IMPORTANT*: When enabling silent authentication, you must ensure the
security domain referenced by your _sasl-authentication-factory_
references a security realm that contains the _$local_ user. By default,
WildFly provides the _local_ identity realm that provides this user.

/subsystem=elytron/key-store=httpsKS:add(path=/path/to/keystore.jks,credential-reference={clear-text=secret},type=JKS)
----

The previous command uses an absolute path to the keystore.
Alternatively you can use the _relative-to_ attribute to specify the
base directory variable and _path_ specify a relative path.
Also, in case of file-based keystore the _type_ attribute can be omitted and
the keystore type will be automatically detected.

The above command shows that the _https-listener_ is configured to use
the _ApplicationRealm_ legacy security realm for its SSL configuration.
Undertow cannot reference both a legacy security realm and an
_ssl-context_ in Elytron at the same time so you must remove the
reference to the legacy security realm. Also there has to be always
configured either _ssl-context_ or _security-realm_. Thus when changing
between those, you have to use batch operation:

There are a couple ways to enable two-way SSL/TLS for the management interfaces.

[[two-way-ssl-management-interfaces-using-security-command]]
==== Using a security command:

The _security enable-ssl-management_ command can be used to enable two-way
SSL/TLS for the management interfaces. Example of wizard usage:

[source,java,options="nowrap"]
----
security enable-ssl-management --interactive
Please provide required pieces of information to enable SSL:
Key-store file name (default management.keystore): server.keystore.jks
Password (blank generated): secret
What is your first and last name? [Unknown]: localhost
What is the name of your organizational unit? [Unknown]:
What is the name of your organization? [Unknown]:
What is the name of your City or Locality? [Unknown]:
What is the name of your State or Province? [Unknown]:
What is the two-letter country code for this unit? [Unknown]:
Is CN=Unknown, OU=Unknown, O=Unknown, L=Unknown, ST=Unknown, C=Unknown correct y/n [y]?
Validity (in days, blank default): 365
Alias (blank generated): localhost
Enable SSL Mutual Authentication y/n (blank n): y
Client certificate (path to pem file): /path/to/client.cer
Validate certificate y/n (blank y):
Trust-store file name (management.truststore): server.truststore.jks
Password (blank generated): secret

SSL options:
key store file: server.keystore.jks
distinguished name: CN=localhost, OU=Unknown, O=Unknown, L=Unknown, ST=Unknown, C=Unknown
password: secret
validity: 365
alias: localhost
client certificate: /path/to/client.cer
trust store file: server.trustore.jks
trust store password: secret
Server keystore file server.keystore.jks, certificate file server.pem and server.csr file will be generated in server configuration directory.
Server truststore file server.trustore.jks will be generated in server configuration directory.
Do you confirm y/n: y
----
NB: Once the command is executed, the CLI will reload the server and
attempt to reconnect to it. To complete the two-way SSL/TLS authentication,
you need to <<import-server-certificate-into-client-truststore-management,import the server certificate>>
into the client truststore and
<<configure-your-client-to-use-the-client-certificate-management,configure your client>>
to present the client certificate.

[[two-way-ssl-management-interfaces-using-elytron-subsystem-commands]]
==== Using Elytron subsystem commands:

Elytron subsystem commands can also be used to enable two-way SSL/TLS for the
management interfaces.

[[obtain-or-generate-your-key-stores-management]]
===== Obtain or generate your key stores.

Before enabling HTTPS in WildFly, you must obtain or generate the server
key store and trust store you plan on using. To generate an example key
store and trust store, use the following commands.

Configure a key-store.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/key-store=twoWayKS:add(path=server.keystore.jks,relative-to=jboss.server.config.dir,credential-reference={clear-text=secret},type=JKS)

/subsystem=elytron/key-store=twoWayKS:generate-key-pair(alias=localhost,algorithm=RSA,key-size=1024,validity=365,credential-reference={clear-text=secret},distinguished-name="CN=localhost")

/subsystem=elytron/key-store=twoWayKS:store()
----

*NOTE:* The above command uses _relative-to_ to reference the location
of the keystore file. Alternatively, you can specify the full path to
the keystore in _path_ and omit _relative-to_.

Export your server certificate.

[[configure-your-client-to-use-the-client-certificate-management]]
==== Configure your client to use the client certificate.

You need to configure your client to present the trusted client
certificate to the server to complete the two-way SSL/TLS
authentication. For example, if using a browser, you need to import the
trusted certificate into the browser's trust store.

Two-way SSL/TLS is now enabled for the management interfaces.

[[using-an-ldap-key-store]]
=== Using an ldap-key-store

An _ldap-key-store_ allows you to use a keystore stored in an LDAP
server. You can use an _ldap-key-store_ in same way you can use a
_key-store_.

To create and use an _ldap-key-store_:

[[configure-a-dir-context.]]
==== Configure a dir-context.

To connect to the LDAP server from WildFly, you need to configure a
_dir-context_ that provides the URL as well as the principal used to
connect to the server.

*Example dir-context*

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/dir-context=exampleDC:add( \
  url="ldap://127.0.0.1:10389", \
  principal="uid=admin,ou=system", \
  credential-reference={clear-text=secret} \
)
----

[[configure-an-ldap-key-store.]]
==== Configure an ldap-key-store.

When configure an _ldap-key-store_, you need to specify both the
_dir-context_ used to connect to the LDAP server as well as how to
locate the keystore stored in the LDAP server. At a minimum, this
requires you specify a _search-path_.

*Example ldap-key-store*

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/ldap-key-store=ldapKS:add( \
  dir-context=exampleDC, \
  search-path="ou=Keystores,dc=wildfly,dc=org" \
)
----

[[use-the-ldap-key-store.]]
==== Use the ldap-key-store.

Once you have defined your _ldap-key-store_, you can use it in the same
places where a _key-store_ could be used. For example, you could use an
_ldap-key-store_ when configuring HTTPS and Two-Way HTTPS for
applications.

[[using-a-filtering-key-store]]
=== Using a filtering-key-store

A _filtering-key-store_ allows you to expose a subset of aliases from an
existing _key-store_, and use it in the same places you could use a
_key-store_. For example, if a keystore contained _alias1_, _alias2_,
and _alias3_, but you only wanted to expose _alias1_ and _alias3_, a
_filtering-key-store_ provides you several ways to do that.

To create a _filtering-key-store_:

[[configure-a-key-store.]]
==== Configure a key-store.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/key-store=myKS:add( \
  path=keystore.jks, \
  relative-to=jboss.server.config.dir, \
  credential-reference={ \
    clear-text=secret \
  }, \
  type=JKS \
)
----

[[configure-a-filtering-key-store.]]
==== Configure a filtering-key-store.

When you configure a _filtering-key-store_, you specify which
_key-store_ you want to filter and the _alias-filter_ for filtering
aliases from the _key-store_. The filter can be specified in one of the
following formats:

* _alias1,alias3_, which is a comma-delimited list of aliases to expose.
* _ALL:-alias2_, which exposes all aliases in the keystore except the
ones listed.
* _NONE:+alias1:+alias3_, which exposes no aliases in the keystore
except the ones listed.

This example uses a comma-delimted list to expose _alias1_ and _alias3_.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/filtering-key-store=filterKS:add( \
  key-store=myKS, \
  alias-filter="alias1,alias3" \
)
----

[[use-the-filtering-key-store.]]
==== Use the filtering-key-store.

Once you have defined your _filtering-key-store_, you can use it in the
same places where a _key-store_ could be used. For example, you could
use a _filtering-key-store_ when configuring HTTPS and Two-Way HTTPS for
applications.

[[reload-a-keystore]]
=== Reload a Keystore

You can reload a keystore configured in WildFly from the management CLI.
This is useful in cases where you have made changes to certificates
referenced by a keystore.

To reload a keystore.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/key-store=httpsKS:load
----

[[reinitialize-a-key-manager]]
=== Reinitialize a Key Manager

You can reinitialize a key-manager configured in WildFly from the management CLI.
This is useful in cases where you have made changes in certificates provided by keystore
resource and you want to apply this change to new SSL connections without restarting the server.

If the key-store is file based then it must be loaded first.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/key-store=httpsKS:load()

[[reinitialize-a-trust-manager]]
=== Reinitialize a Trust Manager

You can reinitialize a trust-manager configured in WildFly from the management CLI.
This is useful in cases where you have made changes to certificates provided by keystore
resource and you want to apply this change to new SSL connections without restarting the server.

If the key-store is file based then it must be loaded first.

[source,options="nowrap"]

[[check-the-content-of-a-keystore-by-alias]]
=== Check the Content of a Keystore by Alias

If you add a keystore to the _elytron_ subsystem using the _key-store_
component, you can check the keystore's contents using the _alias_ child
element and reading its attributes.

For example:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/key-store=httpsKS/alias=localhost:read-attribute(name=certificate-chain)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => [{
        "type" => "X.509",
        "algorithm" => "RSA",
        "format" => "X.509",
        "public-key" => "30:81:9f:30:0d:06:09:2a:8......
----

The following attributes can be read:

[cols=",",options="header"]
|=======================================================================
|Attribute |Description

|certificate |The certificate associated with the alias. If the alias
has a certificate chain this will always be undefined.

|certificate-chain |The certificate chain associated with the alias.

|creation-date |The creation date of the entry represented by this
alias.

|entry-type |The type of the entry for this alias. Available types:
PasswordEntry, PrivateKeyEntry, SecretKeyEntry, TrustedCertificateEntry,
and Other. Unrecognized types will be reported as Other.
|=======================================================================

[[custom-components]]
=== Custom Components

When configuring SSL/TLS in the _elytron_ subsystem, you can provide and
use custom implementations of the following components:

* _key-store_
* _key-manager_
* _trust-manager_
* _client-ssl-context_
* _server-ssl-context_
* _certificate-authority-account_

When creating custom implementations of Elytron components, they must
present the appropriate capabilities and requirements.

=== Default SSLContext

Many libraries that can be used within deployments may require SSL configuration for any connections they establish, these libraries tend to be configurable by the caller or if no configuration is provided fall back to using the default `SSLContext` for the process available from: -

[source,java,options="nowrap"]
----
javax.net.ssl.SSLContext.getDefault();
----

By default this `SSLContext` is configured using system properties, however within the WildFly Elytron subsystem it is possible to specify that one of the configured contexts should be associated and used as the default.

To make use of this feature configure your `SSLContext` as normal, the following command can then be used to specify which `SSLContext` should be used as the default.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron:write-attribute(name=default-ssl-context, value=client-context)
----

As existing services and deployments could have cached the default `SSLContext` prior to this being set a reload is required to ensure the default gets set before the deployments are activated.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
:reload
----

*Note:* If the `default-ssl-context` attribute is subsequently 'undefined' the standard APIs do not provide us with a mechanism to revert the default so in this situation the Java process would need be restarted.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron:undefine-attribute(name=default-ssl-context)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "response-headers" => {
        "operation-requires-restart" => true,
        "process-state" => "restart-required"
    }
}
----

=== Configuring SNI

Using the WildFly Elytron subsystem it is possible to configure an SSL context which supports SNI.  By supporting SNI if an SNI host name is available whilst the SSLSession is being negotiated a host specific SSLContext will be selected.  If no host specific SSLContext is identified either because no host name was received or because there is no match a default SSLContext will be used instead.  By identifying a host specific SSLContext it means that a certificate appropriate for that host can be used.

The following command demonstrates how an SNI aware SSLContext can be added: - 

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
[standalone@localhost:9990 /] ./subsystem=elytron/server-ssl-sni-context=test-sni:add(default-ssl-context=jboss,host-context-map={localhost=localhost, wildfly.org=wildfly})
{"outcome" => "success"}
----

This example assumes that three SSLContexts have been previously defined following the steps available previously in this document, those contexts are `jboss`, `localhost`, and `wildfly`.

During negotiation of the SSLSession if the SNI host name received is `localhost` then the `localhost` SSLContext will be used, if the SNI host name is `wildfly.org` then the `wildfly` SSLContext will be used.  If no SNI host name is received or if we receive a name that does not match this will fallback and use the `jboss` SSLContext.

The resulting resource looks like: -

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
[standalone@localhost:9990 /] ./subsystem=elytron/server-ssl-sni-context=test-sni:read-resource
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => {
        "default-ssl-context" => "jboss",
        "host-context-map" => {
            "localhost" => "localhost",
            "wildfly.org" => "wildfly"
        }
    }
}
----

Within the `host-context-map` it is also possible to define wildcard mappings such as `&#42;` and `&#42;.wildfly.org`.

[[use-the-elytron-and-security-subsystems-in-parallel]]
=== Use the Elytron and Security Subsystems in Parallel

By default the _elytron_ and _security_ subsystems will run in parallel
if both are enabled. For authentication in applications, you can use the
_application-security-domain_ property in the _undertow_ subsystem to
configure a security domain in the _elytron_ subsystem.

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=undertow/application-security-domain=exampleApplicationDomain:add(http-authentication-factory=example-http-auth)
----

*NOTE:* This must match the _security-domain_ configured in the
_jboss-web.xml_ of your application.

If the _application-security-domain_ is not set, WildFly will look for a
security domain configured in the _security_ subsystem that matches the
_security-domain_ configured in the _jboss-web.xml_ of your application.

For enabling HTTPS using a legacy security realm, you can use the
_security-realm_ attribute in the _https-listener_ section of the
_undertow_ subsystem:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/https-listener=https:read-attribute(name=security-realm)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => "ApplicationRealm"
}
----

For enabling HTTPS using _elytron_, you need to undefine the
_security-realm_ attribute and set the _ssl-context_ attribute. As there
has to be always configured either _ssl-context_ or _security-realm_ you
have to use batch operation when changing between those:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----

Security realms in the Elytron subsystem, when used in conjunction with
security domains, are use for both core management authentication as
well as for authentication with applications. Security realms are also
specifically typed based on their identity store, for example
_jdbc-realm_, _filesystem-realm_, _properties-realm_, etc.

Adding a security realm takes the general form:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/permission-set=PermissionSetName:add(permissions=[{class-name="...", module="...", target-name="...", action="..."}...])
----

where _permissions_ consists of a set of permissions, where each permission has the following attributes:

* _class-name_ is the fully qualified class name of the permission. This is the only permission attribute that is required.

* _module_ is the optional module to use to load the permission.

* _target-name_ is the optional target name to pass to the permission as it is constructed.

* _action_ is the optional action to pass to the permission as it is constructed.

=== Create an Elytron Permission Mapper

In addition to roles being assigned to a identity, permissions may also
be assigned. A permission mapper assigns permissions to an identity.
Permission mappers are also specifically typed based on their
functionality, for example _logical-permission-mapper_,
_simple-permission-mapper_, and _custom-permission-mapper_.

Adding a permission mapper takes the general form:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/simple-permission-mapper=PermissionMapperName:add(...)

[[create-an-elytron-role-mapper]]
=== Create an Elytron Role Mapper

A role mapper maps roles after they have been decoded to other roles.
Examples include normalizing role names or adding and removing specific
roles from principals after they have been decoded. Role mappers are
also specifically typed based on their functionality, for example
_add-prefix-role-mapper_, _add-suffix-role-mapper_, and
_constant-role-mapper_.

Adding a role mapper takes the general form:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/ROLEM-MAPPER-TYPE=roleMapperName:add(...)

[[create-an-elytron-security-domain]]
=== Create an Elytron Security Domain

Security domains in the Elytron subsystem, when used in conjunction with
security realms, are use for both core management authentication as well
as for authentication with applications.

Adding a security domain takes the general form:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/security-domain=domainName:add(realms=[{realm=realmName,role-decoder=roleDecoderName}],default-realm=realmName,permission-mapper=permissionMapperName,role-mapper=roleMapperName,...)
----

[[create-an-elytron-authentication-factory]]
=== Create an Elytron Authentication Factory

An authentication factory is an authentication policy used for specific
authentication mechanisms. Authenticaion factories are specifically
based on the authentication mechanism, for example
_http-authentication-factory_ and +
_sasl-authentication-factory_ and _kerberos-security-factory_.

Adding an authentication factory takes the general form:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/AUTH-FACTORY-TYPE=authFactoryName:add(....)
----

[[create-an-elytron-policy-provider]]
=== Create an Elytron Policy Provider

Elytron subsystem provides a specific resource definition that can be
used to configure a default ruby Policy provider. The subsystem allows
you to define multiple policy providers but select a single one as the
default:

[source,options="nowrap"]
----
/subsystem=elytron/policy=policy-provider-a:add(custom-policy=\[{name=policy-provider-a, class-name=MyPolicyProviderA, module=x.y.z}\])
----
