PM12973: JAX-WS WS-Security does not allow a trust store to be reloaded during runtime

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

JAX-WS WS-Security does not allow a trust store to be reloaded
during runtime.  If a trusted certificate is added to a trust
store used by an X.509 token consumer after the application
server is started, the trust validation will fail.

****************************************************************
JAX-WS WS-Security does not allow a trust store to be reloaded
during runtime.  If a trusted certificate is added to a trust
store used by an X.509 token consumer after the application
server is started, the trust validation will fail.

Applications may require the ability to reload a trust store
during runtime.

Problem conclusion

The trust store is a keystore. JAX-WS WS-Security does not
acknowledge the refresh of any keystores while the application
server is running.  For performance reasons, keystores are
cached in memory when each application is started.  The cache
is shared among applications, so if a single application is
stopped, its keystore(s) remain in the cache.

The WS-Security custom property is added:

com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.config.token.inbound.retryOnceAfterTrus
tFailure

If the
com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.config.token.inbound.retryOnceAfterTrus
tFailure is set to true, when a trust validation occurs,
the WS-Security runtime will reload its configured trust
store and retry the trust validation one more time.  If a
failure occurs after the second attempt, the trust validation
failure will be returned.

The trust store will be loaded and used for that single
re-validation attempt only.  The keystore object in the cache
cannot be replaced for concurrency issues.

Valid values for this property are true and false.  It
defaults to false.

This property is set as a custom property on the Callback
handler for an X.509, PKIPath, or PKCS#7 token consumer.  The
following path can be used to set the property in the
administrative console:

(bindingName)->WS-Security->Authentication and
protection->(tokenName)->Callback handler

For an application using the WS-Security WSS API, the property
can also be set on the Callback handler for the token
consumers listed above.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.13.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
