DevGuideExamples/Security/SecurityUnawareApp/README

This directory contains an illustration of a security unaware
application.  The examples vary the client's configuration to
demonstrate different features. For each of these examples,
however, the client and server process code remains the same.

For readability, long text lines from the example's service
configuration files are split into multiple lines.  A backslash
indicates the end of partial line except for the final fragment.
The backslashes should be removed and the fragments joined for
use with the example programs.

For simplicity, the pass phrases have been stripped from the
private keys included with these examples in the 1.2a release.
This *should not* be construed as a recommended practice.  Instead,
OCI strongly recommends that the security requirements of each
real-world application be evaluated carefully and that appropriate
procedures and practice be established accordingly.  Private keys
without pass phrase protection are easily compromised and may
allow an unauthorized party to masquerade as an authorized system
user.

Prior to running the server in these examples, the SSL_CERT_FILE
environment variable must be set, e.g.,
	# /bin/bash
	export SSL_CERT_FILE=cacert.pem
or
	rem Windows
	set SSL_CERT_FILE=cacert.pem

For examples 1 and 2, the client's environment should also
define SSL_CERT_FILE appropriately.  The final example
demonstrates how to establish a connection between a client
and server such that the client does not authenticate the
server and therefore does not need a value for SSL_CERT_FILE.



Example 1: Secured server and unsecured client
----------------------------------------------
The server is configured to accept requests only via secured
connections.  No specific configurationi is provided for the
client so it has the default configuration.

The server's configuration is:

#
# server.conf
#
dynamic SSLIOP_Factory Service_Object * TAO_SSLIOP:_make_TAO_SSLIOP_Protocol_Factory() \
	"-SSLAuthenticate SERVER_AND_CLIENT	\
	 -SSLPrivateKey PEM:serverkey.pem	\
	 -SSLCertificate PEM:servercert.pem"

static Resource_Factory "-ORBProtocolFactory SSLIOP_Factory"
#
# end of server.conf
#

To run the server:
	./MessengerServer -ORBSvcConf server.conf

To run the client:
	./MessengerClient



Example 2: Secured server and unsecured client
----------------------------------------------
Both server and client are configured to issue and accept
requests via secured connections.

The server's configuration is:

#
# server.conf
#
dynamic SSLIOP_Factory Service_Object * TAO_SSLIOP:_make_TAO_SSLIOP_Protocol_Factory() \
	"-SSLAuthenticate SERVER_AND_CLIENT	\
	 -SSLPrivateKey PEM:serverkey.pem	\
	 -SSLCertificate PEM:servercert.pem"

static Resource_Factory "-ORBProtocolFactory SSLIOP_Factory"
#
# end of server.conf
#

The client's configuration is:

#
# client.conf
#
dynamic SSLIOP_Factory Service_Object * TAO_SSLIOP:_make_TAO_SSLIOP_Protocol_Factory() \
	"-SSLAuthenticate SERVER_AND_CLIENT	\
	 -SSLPrivateKey PEM:serverkey.pem	\
	 -SSLCertificate PEM:servercert.pem"

static Resource_Factory "-ORBProtocolFactory SSLIOP_Factory"
#
# end of client.conf
#

To run the server:
	./MessengerServer -ORBSvcConf server.conf

To run the client:
	./MessengerClient -ORBSvcConf client.conf



Example 3: client doesn't authenticate server
---------------------------------------------
The client is configured such that it doesn't authenticate
the server.  It still employs an encrypted connection but,
since it doesn't need a CA certificate, no value for
SSL_CERT_FILE is required.

The server's configuration is:

#
# server.conf
#
dynamic SSLIOP_Factory Service_Object * TAO_SSLIOP:_make_TAO_SSLIOP_Protocol_Factory() \
	"-SSLAuthenticate SERVER_AND_CLIENT	\
	 -SSLPrivateKey PEM:serverkey.pem	\
	 -SSLCertificate PEM:servercert.pem"

static Resource_Factory "-ORBProtocolFactory SSLIOP_Factory"
#
# end of server.conf
#

The client's configuration is:

#
# client.conf
#
dynamic SSLIOP_Factory Service_Object * TAO_SSLIOP:_make_TAO_SSLIOP_Protocol_Factory() \
	"-SSLAuthenticate NONE			\
	 -SSLPrivateKey PEM:serverkey.pem	\
	 -SSLCertificate PEM:servercert.pem"

static Resource_Factory "-ORBProtocolFactory SSLIOP_Factory"
#
# end of client.conf
#

To run the server:
	./MessengerServer -ORBSvcConf server.conf

To run the client:
	./MessengerClient -ORBSvcConf client.conf

If a value for SSL_CERT_FILE has already been placed in the
client's environment, the client may be executed as follows (on
Unix platforms):
	SSL_CERT_FILE= ./MessengerClient -ORBSvcConf client.conf
