I try to use keycloak as the authentication service in my design. In my case, when the keycloak starts, I need one more realm besides default master realm. Assuming the new agency is called "demo".
So it means when keycloak starts, it should have two realms (master and demo).
In addtion, in the realm demo, I need to configure the default client "admin-cli" to enable "Full Scope Allowed". Also need to add some buildin mapper to this client.
In this case, I wonder whether I can use something like initialization file which keycloak can load when starting ?
Or I need to use keycloak client APIs to do this operations (e.g., Java keycloak admin client)?
Thanks in advance.
You can try the following:
Create the Realm;
Set all the options that you want;
Go to Manage > Export;
Switch Export groups and roles to ON;
Switch Export clients to ON;
Export.
That will export a .json file with the configurations.
Then you can tested it be deleting your Demo Realm and:
Go to Add Realm;
Chose the .json file that was exported;
Click Create.
Check if the configurations that you have changed are still presented on the Demo Realm, if there are then it means that you can use this file to import the Realm from. Otherwise, for the options that were not persistent you will have to create them via the Admin Rest API.
I am building a multi-tenant system fronted by Nginx.
I want all requests hitting Nginx to first be 'filtered' on whether they have a valid JWT. If not, there should be a 'call out' to an external authentication server which will do SAML/SSO and return a JWT or 'false'. If false, then a 401 is returned.
If there is a valid JWT, it needs to be interpreted and the tenant name extracted. Then, depending on the request path, the url/POST body will need to be modified to include the correct tenant (we are hitting an Elasticsearch and need to make sure that a tenant is only allowed to query their own indexes)
The Authentication server will be built in php, so what we need is just the 'filter' part and a valid way of calling the Auth server. Is there any off-the-shelf nginx module which will solve this requirement? Or is Lua my best bet here? I'm a relatively novice Nginx-er.
There is much better and simpler JWT based authentication module for nginx.

Use https://github.com/auth0/nginx-jwt, for me it was easier to install Openresty, since I didn't have that much time to install manually lua module on nginx, and all it's dependencies.
At https://github.com/auth0/nginx-jwt/blob/master/nginx-jwt.lua at the line 114 the library adds the sub to the header which should be an Id, you may change this if you need anything alse.
ngx.header["X-Auth-UserId"] = jwt_obj.payload.sub
I am trying to create Client Certificates Authentication for my asp.net Website.
In order to create client certificates, I need to create a Certificate Authority first:
makecert.exe -r -n “CN=My Personal CA” -pe -sv MyPersonalCA.pvk -a
sha1 -len 2048 -b 01/01/2013 -e 01/01/2023 -cy authority
MyPersonalCA.cer
Then, I have to import it to IIS 7, but since it accepts the .pfx format, i convert it first
pvk2pfx.exe -pvk MyPersonalCA.pvk -spc MyPersonalCA.cer -pfx MyPersonalCA.pfx
After importing MyPersonalCA.pfx, I try to add the https site binding to my Web Site and choose the above as SSL Certificate, but I get the following error:
Any suggestions?
I ran across this same issue, but fixed it a different way. I believe the account I was using changed from the time I initially attempted to set up the certificate to the time where I returned to finish the work, thus creating the issue. What the issue is, I don't know, but I suspect it has to do with some sort of hash from the current user and that is inconsistent in some scenarios as the user is modified or recreated, etc.
To fix it, I ripped out of both IIS and the Certificates snap-in (for Current User and Local Computer) all references of the certificate in question:
Next, I imported the *.pfx file into the certs snap-in in MMC, placing it in the Local Computer\Personal node:
Right-click the Certificates node under Personal (under Local Computer as the root)
All Tasks -> Import
Go through the Wizard to import your *.pfx
From that point, I was able to return to IIS and find it in the Server Certificates. Finally, I went to my site, edited the bindings and selected the correct certificate. It worked because the user was consistent throughout the process.
To the point mentioned in another answer, you shouldn't have to resort to marking it as exportable as that's a major security issue. You're effectively allowing anyone who can get to the box with a similar set of permissions to take your cert with them and import it anywhere else. Obviously that's not optimal.
Security warning: what the checkbox really means is that the certificate can be read by users that shouldn't be able to read it. Such as the user running the IIS worker process. In production use the other answer instead.
Happened to me too, and was fixed by ensuring that "Allow this certificate to be exported" is checked when you import it:
(thanks to this post!)
This must be some kind of IIS bug, but I found the solution.
1- Export MyPersonalCA.pfx from IIS.
2- Convert it to .pem:
openssl pkcs12 -in MyPersonalCA.pfx -out MyPersonalCA.pem -nodes
3- Convert it back to .pfx:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in MyPersonalCA.pem -inkey MyPersonalCA.pem -out MyPersonalCA.pfx
4- Import it back to IIS.
We had the same issue due to incorrectly importing the certificate into the Current User Personal certificate store. Removing it from the Current User Personal store and importing it into the Local Machine Personal certificate store solved the problem.
Nobody probably cares about this anymore, but I just faced this issue with my IIS 7 website binding. The way I fixed it was going to the Certificate Authority and finding the certificate issued to the server with the issue. I verified the user account that requested the certificate. I Then logged into the IIS server using RDP with that account. I was able to rebind the https protocol using that account only. No exports, reissuing, or extension changing hacks were needed.
Instead of importing the cert from IIS, do it from MMC.
Then goto IIS for binding.
In our case this problem occurred because we have installed the certificate in a Virtual Machine and made an image of it for further use.
When creating another VM from the image previously created the certificate sends the message.
To avoid this be sure to install the certificate on every new VM installed.
According to the MSDN blog post, this can happen when the current user account doesn't have permission to access the private key file which is under the folder "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys". Apparently this can be resolved by granting the user account / user group Full Access permission to the above folder.
I've come across the same issue, and was able to resolve it by simply re-importing the .pfx file with the Allow this certificate ti be exported checkbox selected.
However, this method imposes a security risk - as any user who has
access to your IIS server will be able to export your certificate with
the private key.
In my case, only I have access to my IIS server - therefore it was not a huge risk.
I got this error due to wrong openssl command-line during export PKCS #12 certificate. -certfile key was wrong. I exported certificate again and it was imported successfully.
We found another cause for this. If you are scripting the certificate install using PowerShell and used the Import-PfxCertificate command. This will import the certificate. However, the certificate imported cannot be bound to a website in IIS with the same error as this question mentions. You can list certificates using this command and see why:
certutil -store My
This lists the certificates in your Personal store and you will see this property:
Provider = Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider
This storage provider is a newer CNG provider and is not supported by IIS or .NET. You cannot access the key. Therefore you should use certutil.exe to install certificates in your scripts. Importing using the Certificate Manager MMC snap-in or IIS also works but for scripting, use certutil as follows:
certutil -f -p password -importpfx My .\cert.pfx NoExport

Guys after trying almost every single solution to no avail i ended up finding my solution to '“A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.” when using https" below
Verify your pfx cert is healthy with correct private key
Run certutil and locate the certs 'unique Container name' - i used certutil -v -store my
3.Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys and locate the system file that corresponds to your Container name found above
Check permissions and ensure 'system' has full control to file.
Once applied i then checked IIS and was able to apply to https without error
I had the same issue. Solved by removing the certificate from de personal store (somebody put in it) and from the webhosting. All done through the IIS manager. Then I added again to the webhosting store (with everything checked) and I can use HTTPS again...
In my case it was because the World Wide Publishing Service user didn't have permissions to the certificate. After installing the certificate, access the certificates module in MMC and right-click the certificate with the issue. Select "Manage Private Keys..." from the "All Tasks" menu and add the above user. This was SYSTEM user in my case.
I was getting a this error when trying to bind localhost pfx cert for my development machine.
Before i tried any of this above, tried something simpler first.
Closed any localhost dev site i had openned.
Stopped my IIS server and closed the manager
run the manager as Admin
Added all my https bindings, no errors or issues this time.
restarted iis
Everything seems to work after that.
I was getting same error whilst binding the certificate, but fixed after deleting the certificate and importing again through mmc console.
In my case, it has been fixed by using certutil -repairstore command. I was getting following error, when trying to add certificate to Web Binding on IIS using powershell:
A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.
I fixed it by running:
certutil.exe -repairstore $CertificateStoreName $CertThumbPrint
where CertificateStoreName is store name, and CertThumbPrint is the thumbprint of imported certificate.
I recieved this error message when trying to use the following powershell command:
(Get-WebBinding -Port 443 -Name
"WebsiteName").AddSslCertificate("<CertificateThumbprint>", "My")
The solution for me was to go into certificate manager and give IIS_IUSRS user permission to see the certificate.
These are the steps I followed:
Move the certificate into [Personal > Certificates]
Right click [All Tasks > Manage Private Keys]
Add the IIS_IUSRS user (which is located on the local computer not in your domain if you're attached to one)
Give read permission
I managed to fix this problem by importing the SSL certificate PFX file using Windows Certificate Manager.

I just had this issue today and feel compelled to post my solution in the hope that you will lose less hair than I've just done.
After trying the solutions above, we had to re-issue the SSL certificate from the SSL provider (RapidSSL issuing as a reseller for GeoTrust).
There was no cost with this process, just the five minute wait while the confirmation emails (admin#) arrived, and we gained access again.
Once we had the response, we used IIS > Server Certificates to install it. We did not need the MMC snap-in.
https://knowledge.rapidssl.com/support/ssl-certificate-support/index?page=content&id=SO5757
We kept a remote desktop window to the server open throughout, to avoid any issues with differing login accounts/sessions, etc. I do believe it is an IIS bug as another expert believes, as we only have one RDC account. What is most infuriating is that the very same certificate has been working perfectly for two months before suddenly "breaking".
In my case I imported a newer version of a certificate (PFX for IIS) from StartSSL just recently and forgot to remove the old one, which somehow caused this error (now two certs sort of the same). I removed both of them, imported the proper one, and now it works.
I was able to fix this problem by removing the then importing it by double clicking the certificate.
For me, the fix was to delete the cert from IIS and re-import it, but into the "personal" certificate store instead of "web hosting"
According to the below, this is fine, at least for my own circumstances.
What's the difference between the Personal and Web Hosting certificate store?
Also, should it make any difference, I imported the certificate via the wizard after double clicking on it on the local machine, instead of via the IIS import method. After this the certificate was available in IIS automatically.
Here's what worked for me:
Step 1: Open up a Run window and type "mmc"
Step 2: Click File > Add/Remove Snap In
Step 3: Add > Certificates, Click OK
Step 4: Choose "Computer Account", then "Local Computer" and proceed.
Step 5: Hit OK
Step 6: Right click the Certificates folder on: Console Root > Certificates (Local Computer) > Personal > Certificates
Step 7: Select All Tasks > Import (Please note that the "Local Machine" is selected on the next window)
Step 8: Browse your .pfx file
Step 9: Then go to the IIS and create https binding
Try :
Go into IIS and delete "VSTS Dev Router" web site and "VSTS Dev Router Pool" application pool.
Run “certlm.msc” and open Personal/Certificates
Delete any cert named “*.vsts.me” and "vsts.me"

I'm running a Symfony2 web application on AWS, and am using an Elastic Load Balancer.
In a controller method, I need to do the following to get the IP of a user requesting a web page:
$request->trustProxyData();
$clientIp = $request->getClientIp(True);
Does this present any security risks? I'm not using the client IP for privilege escalation, I'm just logging it.
Is there some way to force trustProxyData() always, or otherwise reconfigure $request->getClientIp() to DWIM? My app will always be behind a load balancer (except while I do development on my desktop).
Related: http://fabien.potencier.org/article/51/create-your-own-framework-on-top-of-the-symfony2-components-part-2 (but it doesn't say if there's some global config so I don't have to call trustProxyData() everywhere).
You can configure the framework bundle to do this: http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/reference/configuration/framework.html#trust-proxy-headers
framework:
trust_proxy_headers: true
I am not sure about any general security risks, but I can give you a tip how to avoid calling this method in each controller action.
In your app.php just before the $kernel->handle(...); you should set:
Request::trustProxyData();
Cheers ;)
Note:
The trust_proxy_headers option is deprecated and will be removed in Symfony 2.3.
See a trusted_proxies and a Trusting Proxies for details on how to properly trust proxy data.
I used
Request::setTrustedProxies(array($request->server->get('REMOTE_ADDR')));
in web/app.php to solve the problem.

If your elb is behind a cloudfront proxy you should take a look at this package too:

I would like to have my application running exclusively with SSL turned on.
I am using the Spring Security core plugin.
This is how I attempt to do it in Config.groovy:
grails.plugins.springsecurity.portMapper.httpPort = 8080
grails.plugins.springsecurity.portMapper.httpsPort = 8443
grails.plugins.springsecurity.secureChannel.definition = [ '/**' : 'REQUIRES_SECURE_CHANNEL']
I was expecting this to cause redirects every time I would try to access a Url using HTTP.
However, I am never redirected, and can navigate through both HTTP and HTTPS. I may add I am starting my application using grails run-app -https
Am I getting this all wrong ?
Any suggestion is most welcome.
Do you have a custom filterchain declared in your config?
you might need to add 'channelProcessingFilter' to your chain in that case
http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/docs/3.0.x/reference/security-filter-chain.html
You can also try using the forceHttps option
grails.plugins.springsecurity.auth.forceHttps = true
You don't have any wildcards, so the definition is literally matching the root URL (/), but nothing below it (/foo). What you want is:
grails.plugins.springsecurity.secureChannel.definition = [ '/**' : 'REQUIRES_SECURE_CHANNEL']
^^
(You can clearly see the wildcards in the documentation :-)
Finally, if your server is behind a load balancer or other firewall that hides the protocol, check that same page for instructions on checking the header.
