Certificate Revocation Configuration

Enabling Revocation

Place the CRL in <ddf.home>/etc/keystores.
Uncomment the following line in <ddf.home>/etc/ws-security/server/encryption.properties and replace the filename with the CRL file used in step 1.

#org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.x509crl.file=etc/keystores/crlTokenissuerValid.pem

Adding Revocation to a new Endpoint

This guide assumes that the endpoint being created uses CXF and is being started via Blueprint from inside the OSGi container. If other tools are being used the configuration may differ. The CXF WS-Security Page contains additional information and samples.

Add the following property to the jasws endpoint in the endpoint's blueprint.xml:

<entry key="ws-security.enableRevocation" value="true"/>

Example xml snippet for the jaxws:endpoint with the property:

    <jaxws:endpoint id="Test" implementor="#testImpl"
                    wsdlLocation="classpath:META-INF/wsdl/TestService.wsdl"
                    address="/TestService">

        <jaxws:properties>
            <entry key="ws-security.enableRevocation" value="true"/>
        </jaxws:properties>
    </jaxws:endpoint>

Verifying Revocation is taking place

A warning similar to the following will be displayed in the logs of the source and endpoint showing the exception encountered during certificate validation:
