SSL: Tomcat and Apache some handy links

Introduction

I know there has been written a lot already about SSL configuration on Tomcat and Apache, but for my own registration I store some links I used to setup SSL.
It also contains some handy commands I used to generate certificates.

Links

Client Certificate Authentication with Apache
Apache webserver and SSL configuration

Nice overview of SSL and OpenSSL

OpenSSL and PKCS#12 FQA

Description of Java keytool
Most common keytool commands

Configuration of Hermes2 (ebXML framework) with SSL

X.509
In cryptography, X.509 is an ITU-T standard for a public key infrastructure (PKI) for single sign-on (SSO) and Privilege Management Infrastructure (PMI). X.509 specifies, amongst other things, standard formats for public key certificates, certificate revocation lists, attribute certificates, and a certification path validation algorithm.

PKCS#12
PKCS#12 is a standard for storing private keys and certificates securely. It defines a file format commonly used to store X.509 private keys with accompanying public key certificates, protected with a password-based symmetric key, and is the successor to PFX from Microsoft. PFX has received heavy criticism of being one of the most complex cryptographic protocols, but nevertheless remains the only standard way today to store private keys and certificates in a single encrypted file.
Note: There are other PKCS standards described here.

OpenSSL
OpenSSL is an open source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols. The core library (written in the C programming language) implements the basic cryptographic functions and provides various utility functions.

RSA
In cryptography, RSA (which stands for Rivest, Shamir and Adleman who first publicly described it) is an algorithm for public-key cryptography. It is the first algorithm known to be suitable for signing as well as encryption, and was one of the first great advances in public key cryptography. RSA is widely used in electronic commerce protocols, and is believed to be secure given sufficiently long keys and the use of up-to-date implementations.

  1. Thanks for going through all the keywords and there meanings i have an exam on all this stuff in a couple of weeks so i have to scram it all in my head some how :(

Microservices mindmap

"The tree" - See also   my photo page When you are fairly new within the Microservices land, there are a lot of terms fired at you. So also for my own understanding i have made a mindmap. I think it has a good status now, so that i can share it with you. As always feedback is very welcome ! You can download the mindmap here .

OSB 10gR3 and SWA and MTOM

This blog is about using soap with attachments and the use of MTOM within the OSB (10gR3). A service is created that accepts a soap with attachment (DocumentService) and translates it to a service that accepts a binary element. MTOM is used for performance reasons for the second. Some notes: * For the use of attachments you need RPC-style document instead of the usual document-style. This due to the fact that the document-style limits a message to a single . * A service can not have both SWA and MTOM within OSB. First a WSDL is setup for the DocumentService: The $attachments variable holds the attachments and the body holds the attachment data. Also other data is stored within the attachment element (see h

Installing Oracle SOA Suite/JDeveloper 11g

This post guides you through the installation of the Oracle SOA Suite 11g with JDeveloper 11 with the use of Oracle XE database (for Windows). Note: It is assumed that Oracle XE database is already installed. Required downloads Oracle Weblogic Server 10.3.1   SOA Suite   Repository Creation Utility JDeveloper Studio The detailed steps are nicely described here . The next picture gives a nice overview of the directory structure created. Step1 -  Create Schemas for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BAM (RCU) Unzip the files Run bin/rcu.bat At the Database Connection Details fill in the XE details. If you encounter the next fault you have probably not started the XE database.   Ignore all warnings Click OK Select all components I ran into the following problem: When you click Ok you see the following error: And this is about the Processes DB Init parameter that is wrong. To fix this goto the Database Home page, Sql Editor and execute the following statements: a
