Introduction

  • Connections from the user's browsers to the JOC Cockpit JS7 - REST Web Service API (that ships with JOC Cockpit) to the Controller can be secured by HTTPS and TLS/SSL certificates.
      Connections from the JS7 - REST Web Service API to the Controller can

      • Should JOC Cockpit and Controller be operated on the same server and network interface then no HTTPS connection between both components is required.

      • Should JOC Cockpit and Controller be operated on different servers or network interfaces then this connection should be secured by HTTPS

      TLS/SSL certificates

      • .

    • This article describes the steps required to set up secure HTTPS communication with from JOC Cockpit and with to the Controller.

    Prerequisites

    • Certificate stores can be managed from the command line and by use of tools that provide a GUI for this purpose:
      • the Java Keytool is available from the Java JRE or JDK,
      • the Keystore Explorer is an open source utility to graphically manage certificate stores. 

    Certificate Management

    Certificate Management for secure connections of clients to JOC Cockpit

    To secure the JOC Cockpit user interface for HTTPS access by clients (user browsers or REST API clients) the following private key Private keys and certificates should be in placedistributed as follows:

    Should JOC Cockpit and Controller be operated on the same server and network interface then no HTTPS connection between both components is required.

    Should JOC Cockpit and Controller be operated on different servers then this connection should be secured by HTTPS.

    Private keys and certificates should be distributed as follows:

JOC -> Controller

    The Controller's private key and certificate are added to the Controller's keystore. In case of a self-signed certificate the certificate is added to the JOC Cockpit truststore as well. This step can be skipped if a CA-signed certificate is used as the Root Certificate in the JOC Cockpit truststore is sufficient to verify Controller certificates.

    Secure Connection Setup

    ...

    This configuration is applied in order to enable clients (user browser, REST API client) to access the JOC Cockpit by use of HTTPS.

    In the following the placeholders JOC_HOME, JETTY_HOME and JETTY_BASE are used which locate three directories. If you install Jetty with the JOC installer then

    • JOC_HOME is the installation path which is specified during the JOC Cockpit installation:
      • /opt/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc (default on Linux)
      • C:\Program Files\sos-berlin.com\js7\joc (default on Windows)
    • JETTY_HOME = JOC_HOME/jetty
    • JETTY_BASE is Jetty's base directory which is specified during the JOC Cockpit installation:
      • /home/<setup-user>/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc (default on Linux)
      • C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\joc (default on Windows)

    Step 1: Add the HTTPS module to Jetty

    ...

    On the JOC Cockpit server run the following command and replace the JETTY_HOME and JETTY_BASE placeholders as specified above:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleAdd HTTPS module to Jetty
    java -jar "JETTY_HOME/start.jar" -Djetty.home="JETTY_HOME" -Djetty.base="JETTY_BASE" --add-to-start=https

    ...

JOC -> JOC_Truststore
JOC_Truststore -> JOC_Truststore_CA_RootCertificate [label="&nbsp;add to truststore&nbsp;"] 

JOC -> Controller


    The Controller's private key and certificate are added to the Controller's keystore. In case of a self-signed certificate the certificate is added to the JOC Cockpit truststore as well. This step can be skipped if a CA-signed certificate is used as the Root Certificate in the JOC Cockpit truststore is sufficient to verify Controller certificates.

    Secure Connection Setup

    ...

    Warning

    Jetty doesn't start if it doesn't find a keystore corresponding its settings.

    ...

    Step 2: Create the Keystore and Truststore for Jetty

    ...

    • create a Keystore, e.g. https-keystore.p12, in PKCS12 format and import:
      • JOC Cockpit private key and certificate
      • Root CA certificate
      • Intermediate CA certificates
    • create a Truststore, e.g. https-truststore.p12, in PKCS12 format and import:
      • Root CA certificate

    ...

    Example for import of CA signed certificate to a PKCS12 keystore:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleExample how to add a CA signed certificate to a PKCS12 Keystore
    # should the JOC Cockpit's private key and certificate be provided with a .jks keystore (keypair.jks) then temporarily convert the keystore to pkcs12 (keystore.p12)
#   for later use with openssl, assuming the alias name of the JOC Cockpit private key being "joc-https"
# keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keypair.jks -destkeystore keystore.p12 -deststoretype PKCS12 -srcalias joc-https

# assuming your JOC Cockpit private key from a pkcs12 keystore (keystore.p12), store the JOC Cockpit private key to a .key file in PEM format (joc-https.key)
openssl pkcs12 -in keystore.p12 -nocerts -out joc-https.key

# concatenate CA Root certificate and CA Intermediate certificates to a single CA Bundle certificate file (ca-bundle.crt)
cat RootCACertificate.crt > ca-bundle.crt
cat CACertificate.crt >> ca-bundle.crt

# Export JOC Cockpit private key (joc-https.key), JOC Cockpit certificate (joc-https.crt) and CA Bundle (ca-bundle.crt) in PEM format to a new keystore (https-keystore.p12)
#   assume the fully qualified hostname (FQDN) of the JOC Cockpit server being "joc.example.com"
openssl pkcs12 -export -in joc-https.crt -inkey joc-https.key -chain -CAfile ca-bundle.crt -name joc.example.com -out "JETTY_BASE/resources/joc/https-keystore.p12"

# should you require use of a .jks keystore type then convert the pkcs12 keystore assuming the alias name of the JOC Cockpit private key being "joc-https"
# keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore https-keystore.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore https-keystore.jks -deststoretype JKS -srcalias joc-https

    ...

    Example for use of self-signed certificate with a PKCS12 keystore

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleExample how to generate a self-signed certificate for import into a PKCS12 Keystore
    # generate JOC Cockpit private key with alias name "joc-https" in a keystore (https-keystore.p12)
#   use the fully qualified hostname (FQDN) and name of your organization for the distinguished name
#   consider that PKCS12 keystores require to use the same key password and store password
keytool -genkey -alias "joc-https" -dname "CN=hostname,O=organization" -validity 1461 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keypass jobscheduler -keystore "JETTY_BASE/resources/joc/https-keystore.p12" -storepass jobscheduler -storetype PKCS12

    ...

    Example for use of self-signed certificate with a JKS keystore

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleExample how to generate a self-signed certificate for import into a JKS Keystore
    # generate JOC Cockpit private key with alias name "joc-https" in a keystore (https-keystore.jks)
#   use the fully qualified hostname (FQDN) and name of your organization for the distinguished name
keytool -genkey -alias "joc-https" -dname "CN=hostname,O=organization" -validity 1461 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keypass jobscheduler -keystore "JETTY_BASE/resources/joc/https-keystore.jks" -storepass jobscheduler -storetype JKS

    ...

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleExample how to generate a self-signed certificate for import into a PKCS12 Keystore
    # import Root CA certificate in PEM format to a a PKCS12 truststore (https-truststore.p12)
keytool -import -alias "root-ca" -file "RootCACertificate.crt" -keystore "JETTY_BASE/resources/joc/https-truststore.p12"

    ...

    Explanation:

    • Replace the JETTY_BASE placeholder as specified above.
    • The -dname option specifies the certificate issuer, therefore use your own set of CN, OU, DC that specify the issuer's distinguished name. The O setting is required for the issuer.
    • The -keypass option accepts the password that you will need later on to manage your private key. 
    • The -keystore option specifies the location of your Keystore file.
    • The -storepass option specifies the password for access to your Keystore file.
    • The -storepass option is used for the PKCS12 keystore format, this option is not required for the JKS keystore format.

    ...

    Step 3: Configure Jetty

    Edit the following entries in the JETTY_BASE/start.ini configuration file corresponding to the Java Keystore:

    Code Block
    ## Keystore file path (relative to $jetty.base)
jetty.sslContext.keyStorePath=resources/joc/https.keystore.p12

## Truststore file path (relative to $jetty.base)
jetty.sslContext.trustStorePath=resources/joc/https-truststore.p12

## Keystore password
jetty.sslContext.keyStorePassword=jobscheduler

## KeyManager password (same as keystore password for pkcs12 keystore type)
jetty.sslContext.keyManagerPassword=jobscheduler

## Truststore password
jetty.sslContext.trustStorePassword=jobscheduler

    ...

    Specify the HTTPS port with the following entry of the JETTY_BASE/start.ini configuration file (default HTTPS port is 48446):

    Code Block
    ## Connector port to listen on
jetty.ssl.port=48446

    Step 4: Deactivate HTTP Access

    To deactivate HTTP access add a comment to the following module directive in your JETTY_BASE/start.ini configuration file like this:

    Code Block
    # Module: http
# --module=http

    ...

    This configuration is applied in order to secure the connection if JOC Cockpit and Controller are not operated on the same server. If not otherwise stated then the steps for HTTPS configuration are performed on the server that hosts the Controller.

    Step 1: Create the Java Keystore

    • On the JobScheduler Master server create the Java Keystore using the Keytool from your Java JRE or JDK or some third party utility.
      • For use with a third party tool
        • create a Keystore, e.g. https-keystore.p12, in PKCS12 format and import:
          • Controller private key and certificate
          • Root CA certificate
          • Intermediate CA certificates
        • create a Truststore, e.g. https-truststore.p12, in PKCS12 format and import:
          • Root CA certificate
      • Generate the Java Keystore with the private key and the certificate for the Controller and export the certificate to a second Keystore that is later on used by the JOC Cockpit. The below examples suggest one possible approach for certificate management, however, there may be other ways how to achieve similar results.
        • Example for use of CA signed certificate with PKCS12 keystore format


          Code Block
          languagebash
          titleExample how to add a CA signed private key and certificate to a PKCS12 Keystore
          # should the Controller's private key and certificate be provided with a .jks keystore (keypair.jks) then temporarily convert the keystore to pkcs12 (keystore.p12)
#   for later use with openssl, assuming the alias name of the Controller private key being "controller-https"
# keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keypair.jks -destkeystore keystore.p12 -deststoretype PKCS12 -srcalias controller-https

# assuming the Controller's private key from a pkcs12 keystore (keystore.p12), store the Controller private key to a .key file in PEM format (controller-https.key)
openssl pkcs12 -in keystore.p12 -nocerts -out controller-https.key

# concatenate CA Root certificate and CA Intermediate certificate to a single CA Bundle certificate file (ca-bundle.crt)
cat RootCACertificate.crt > ca-bundle.crt
cat CACertificate.crt >> ca-bundle.crt

# Export Controller private key (controller-https.key), Controller certificate (controller-https.crt) and CA Bundle (ca-bundle.crt) in PEM format to a new keystore (https-keystore.p12)
#   assume the fully qualified hostname (FQDN) of the Controller server being "controller.example.com"
openssl pkcs12 -export -in controller-https.crt -inkey controller-https.key -chain -CAfile ca-bundle.crt -name controller.example.com -out https-keystore.p12

# should you require use of a .jks keystore type then convert the pkcs12 keystore assuming the alias name of the Controller private key being "controller-https"
# keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore https-keystore.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore https-keystore.jks -deststoretype JKS -srcalias controller-https

        • Explanations

          • Replace the SCHEDULER_DATA placeholder as specified above.
          • The -dname option specifies the certificate issuer, therefore use your own set of CN, O, OU, DC that specify the issuer's distinguished name. The O setting is required for the issuer.
          • The -keypass option accepts the password that you will need later on to manage your private key. With the default password being used no further settings are required as explained below.
          • The -keystore option specifies the location of your Keystore file. 
            • The Keystore file should be in reach of the JobScheduler Master, it is therefore recommended to use a sub-folder private in the ./config directory.
            • Using the default file name "private-https.jks" will save the effort of adding further settings as explained above.
          • The -storepass option specifies the password for access to your Keystore file. For the handling of the default password the same applies as stated with the -keypass option.
          • The -storetype option is used for the PKCS12 keystore format, this option is not required for the JKS keystore format.
      • If not otherwise configured then the Controller by default uses the password jobscheduler for the respective Keystore.
      • If you choose an individual password for the Controler Keystore then adjust the following properties in the SCHEDULER_DATA/config/private/private.conf configuration file:
        • Explanations
          • jobscheduler.master.webserver.https.keystore.file is used for the path to the Keystore
          • jobscheduler.master.webserver.https.keystore.password is used for the Keystore password
          • jobscheduler.master.webserver.https.keystore.key-password is used for the password of your private key

        • Example

          Code Block
          languagetext
          titleExample for private.conf file specifying the Master Keystore
          jobscheduler.master.webserver.https.keystore {
  file = "C:/ProgramData/sos-berlin.com/jobscheduler/master110/config/private/private-https.jks"
  # Backslashes are written twice (as in JSON notation):
  # file = "\\\\other-computer\\share\\my-keystore.jks"
  password = "jobscheduler"
  key-password = "jobscheduler"
}
    • Export the JobScheduler Master public certificate for use with the JOC Cockpit Web Service

      • Example for export with JKS keystore format

        Code Block
        languagebash
        titleExample how to export the Master public certificate from a JKS Keystore
        # export Master public certificate from keystore (private-https.jks) identified by its alias name (master-https) to a file in PEM format (master-https.crt)
keytool -exportcert -rfc -noprompt -file "master-https.crt" -alias "master-https" -keystore "SCHEDULER_DATA/config/private/private-https.jks" -storepass jobscheduler

      • Example for export with PKCS12 keystore format

        Code Block
        languagebash
        titleExample how to export the Master public certificate from a PKCS12 Keystore
        # export Master public certificate from keystore (private-https.p12) identified by its alias name (master-https) to a file in PEM format (master-https.crt)
keytool -exportcert -rfc -noprompt -file "master-https.crt" -alias "master-https" -keystore "SCHEDULER_DATA/config/private/private-https.p12" -storepass jobscheduler -storetype PKCS12
      • The exported public certificate of each JobScheduler Master has to be imported to the Java Truststore that is used by the JOC Cockpit.

    Step 2: Set up Authentication to JobScheduler Master

    • The JobScheduler Master HTTPS web service is only accessible to authenticated users that are identified by the JobScheduler ID.
      • The JobScheduler ID is specified on installation of a JobScheduler Master and is a unique string.
      • Should you operate a JobScheduler cluster then the same JobScheduler ID is used that has been assigned to all Masters during setup. Do not mix up the JobScheduler ID and the suffix -backup that is applied to a Backup Master installation directory.
    • The JobScheduler Master expects HTTP Basic Authentication.

    • The credentials are used from SCHEDULER_DATA/config/private/private.conf configuration file that offers an entry like this:

      Code Block
      jobscheduler.master.auth.users {
  JOBSCHEDULER_ID = "HASH_SCHEME:HASHED_PASSWORD"
}

    • The HASH_SCHEME is specified by the prefix "plain" and is followed by the password:

      Code Block
      jobscheduler.master.auth.users {
  jobscheduler_prod = "plain:secret"
}

    Step 3: Set up the JobScheduler Master for HTTPS

    • Specify the ports with the <config> element in the SCHEDULER_DATA/config/scheduler.xml configuration file like this:

      • the HTTP port is required but is limited to the localhost network interface with the http_port attribute

      • the HTTPS port with the https_port attribute of like this:

        Code Block
        languagexml
        <spooler>
        <config http_port="localhost:40444" https_port="48444" mail_xslt_stylesheet="config/scheduler_mail.xsl">
                <!-- other elements -->
        </config>
</spooler>

    Step 4: Configure the JOC Cockpit Truststore

    On the JOC Cockpit server perform the following steps:

    • The JOC Cockpit Keystore can also be used as a Truststore where the certificates of a number of JobScheduler Masters are imported. 

      • Example for PKCS12 Keystore

        Code Block
        languagebash

        titleExample how to import the Master public certificate to JOC Cockpit JKS Keystore
        # import Master public certificate from a file in PEM format (master-https.crt) identified by its alias name (master-https) to the JOC Cockpit JKS keystore (joc-https.jks)
keytool -importcert -noprompt -file "master-https.crt" -alias "master-https" -keystore "JETTY_BASE/etc/joc-https.jks" -storepass jobscheduler -trustcacerts

      • Explanation:

        •  The alias names of any certificates have to be unique for the target Keystore.
      • Alternatively, you can import the JobScheduler Master certificates into the default Java Truststore (JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts) of the Java installation which is used by Jetty, however, this setting will be lost if you switch the Java version.

    • If you use the Keystore of your JOC Cockpit Web Service in Jetty as the Truststore of the JobScheduler Master certificates then add the location of the Truststore to  the JETTY_BASE/resources/joc/joc.properties configuration file like this:

      • Example for PKCS12 keystore format

        Code Block
        languagetext
        ### Location of the Java truststore that contains the certificates of all
###   Controllers used for HTTPS connections. The path can be absolute or
###   relative to joc.properties

truststore_path = ../../resources/joc/https-truststore.p12 
truststore_type = PKCS12
truststore_password = jobscheduler

      • Example for JKS keystore format

        Code Block
        languagetext
        ### Location of the Java truststore that contains the certificates of all
###   Controllers used for HTTPS connections. The path can be absolute or 
###   relative to joc.properties

truststore_path = ../../resources/joc/https-truststore.jks
truststore_type = JKS
truststore_password = jobscheduler
    • Explanations
      • The relative path from the above example looks up the Keystore in the JETTY_BASE/etc directory.

    • The hostname verification can be added optionally in the JETTY_BASE/resources/joc/joc.properties configuration file.

      Code Block
      ################################################################################
### Should hostname verification be carried out for https certificate. 
### Default false

https_with_hostname_verification = true

    Caveat

    • In order to apply modifications to ./config/private/private.conf files of the Controller or to configuration files of JOC Cockpit a restart of the respective component is required.
