The helloworld-mutual-ssl
quickstart is a basic example that demonstrates mutual TLS configuration in {productName}
Mutual TLS provides the same security as TLS, with the addition of authentication and non-repudiation of the client authentication, using digital signatures. When mutual authentication is used, the server requests the client to provide a certificate in addition to the server certificate issued to the client. Mutual authentication requires an extra round trip each time for client certificate exchange. In addition, the client must obtain and maintain a digital certificate.
The out of the box configuration for {productName} has one-way TLS enabled by default. This quickstart shows how to configure {productName} with mutual (two-way) TLS authentication.
Before you run this example, you must create the client certificate and configure the server to use two-way TLS.
-
Open a terminal and navigate to the {productName} server
configuration
directory:$ cd {jbossHomeName}/standalone/configuration/
-
Create the client certificate, which is used to authenticate against the server when accessing a resource through TLS.

-
Export the client certificate and create a truststore by importing this certificate:

[no]: yes Certificate was added to keystore
-
Export client certificate to pkcs12 format
$>keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore client.keystore -srcstorepass secret -destkeystore clientCert.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -deststoretype PKCS12 -deststorepass secret
-
The certificate and keystore are now properly configured.
You configure the SSL context by running JBoss CLI commands. For your convenience, this quickstart batches the commands into a configure-ssl.cli
script provided in the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Before you begin, make sure you do the following:
-
Back up the {productName} standalone server configuration as described above.
-
Start the {productName} server with the standalone default profile as described above.
-
-
Review the
configure-ssl.cli
file in the root of this quickstart directory. Comments in the script describe the purpose of each block of commands. -
Open a new terminal, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command, replacing {jbossHomeName} with the path to your server:
$ {jbossHomeName}/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=configure-ssl.cli
NoteFor Windows, use the {jbossHomeName}\bin\jboss-cli.bat
script.You should see the following result when you run the script:
The batch executed successfully process-state: reload-required
-
Stop the {productName} server.
After stopping the server, open the {jbossHomeName}/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml
file and review the changes.
-
The following
keystore
element was added to theelytron
subsystem:<key-store name="qsTrustStore"> <credential-reference clear-text="secret"/> <implementation type="JKS"/> <file path="client.truststore" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir"/> </key-store>
-
The following
trust-manager
was added to theelytron
subsystem:<trust-managers> <trust-manager name="qsTrustManager" key-store="qsTrustStore"/> </trust-managers>
-
The default
ssl-context
was updated to reference thetrust-manager
to enable two-way TLS:<server-ssl-contexts> <server-ssl-context name="applicationSSC" need-client-auth="true" key-manager="applicationKM" trust-manager="qsTrustManager"/> </server-ssl-contexts>
Note that the
https-listener
in theundertow
subsystem references theapplicationSSC
server-ssl-context
by default.
To test the TLS configuration, access: https://localhost:8443
If it is configured correctly, you should be asked to trust the server certificate.
Before you access the application, you must import the clientCert.p12, which holds the client certificate, into your browser.
-
Click the Chrome menu icon (3 dots) in the upper right on the browser toolbar and choose Settings. This takes you to
link:`chrome://settings/
. -
Click on Privacy and security and then on Security.
-
Scroll down to the Advanced section and on the Manage certificates screen, select the Your Certificates tab and click on the Import button.
-
Select the clientCert.p12 file. You will be prompted to enter the password:
secret
. -
The client certificate is now installed in the Google Chrome browser.
