AUTH protocol in JGroups 5

[Chintan Mohan Rohila]

Hi,

Till JGroups 4 we have been using the AUTH protocol as follows:

<AUTH 

auth_class="org.jgroups.auth.MD5Token"

auth_value="${jgroups.auth_value}"

token_hash="MD5"/>

But it looks like "org.jgroups.auth.MD5Token" is no longer available in JGroups5.

We have been trying to use "org.jgroups.auth.X509Token" using the following AUTH protocol values, but this is also not working. Please suggest how can AUTH protocol with common auth_value be used in JGroups 5?

<AUTH

       auth_class="org.jgroups.auth.X509Token"

      keystore_path=".../<jgroups_keystore.jks>"

      keystore_password="<password>"

      cert_alias="<alias>"

      cert_password="<password >"

      auth_value="<auth_value>"

      cipher_type="RSA"/>

Error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: JGRP000001: configuration error: the following properties in AUTH are not recognized: {keystore_password= password  , cert_alias= alias  , keystore_path= jgroups_keystore.jks  , cipher_type=RSA, cert_password= password    , auth_value= auth_value  }

The reason why MD5Token was removed is discussed in [1] and [2].

You need to prepend your attributes with "auth_token.", see below.

[1] http://www.jgroups.org/manual5/index.html#AUTH

[2] https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JGRP-2367

  <AUTH auth_class="org.jgroups.auth.X509Token"
        auth_token.auth_value="chris"
        auth_token.keystore_path="/Users/bela/JGroups/keystore/defaultStore.keystore"
        auth_token.keystore_password="changeit"
        auth_token.cert_alias="mykey"
        auth_token.cipher_type="RSA"/>
