The provider of an SSL key/trust store is different from that store's
type. However, the broker currently doesn't differentiate these and uses
the provider for both. Changing this *may* potentially break existing
users who are setting the provider, but I don't see any way to avoid
that. This is a bug that needs to be fixed in order to support use-cases
like PKCS#11.
Change summary:
- Added documentation.
- Consolidated several 2-way SSL tests classes into a single
parameterized test class. All these classes were essentially the same
except for a few key test parameters. Consolidating them avoided
having to update the same code in multiple places.
- Expanded tests to include different providers & types.
- Regenerated all SSL artifacts to allow tests to pass with new
constraints.
- Improved logging for when SSL handler initialization fails.
Change summary:
- Remove the existing Xalan-based XPath evaluator since Xalan appears
to be no longer maintained.
- Implement a JAXP XPath evaluator (from the ActiveMQ 5.x code-base).
- Pull in the changes from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-5333
to enable configurable XML parser features.
- Add a method to the base Message interface to make it easier to get
the message body as a string. This relieves the filter from having
to deal with message implementation details.
- Update the Qpid JMS client to get the jms.validateSelector parameter.
- Adding a paragraph about addressing and distinct queue names
- Renaming match on peers, senders and receivers as "address-match"
- Changing qpid dispatch test to use a single listener
- Fixing reconnect attemps message
Both authentication and authorization will hit the underlying security
repository (e.g. files, LDAP, etc.). For example, creating a JMS
connection and a consumer will result in 2 hits with the *same*
authentication request. This can cause unwanted (and unnecessary)
resource utilization, especially in the case of networked configuration
like LDAP.
There is already a rudimentary cache for authorization, but it is
cleared *totally* every 10 seconds by default (controlled via the
security-invalidation-interval setting), and it must be populated
initially which still results in duplicate auth requests.
This commit optimizes authentication and authorization via the following
changes:
- Replace our home-grown cache with Google Guava's cache. This provides
simple caching with both time-based and size-based LRU eviction. See more
at https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/CachesExplained. I also thought
about using Caffeine, but we already have a dependency on Guava and the
cache implementions look to be negligibly different for this use-case.
- Add caching for authentication. Both successful and unsuccessful
authentication attempts will be cached to spare the underlying security
repository as much as possible. Authenticated Subjects will be cached
and re-used whenever possible.
- Authorization will used Subjects cached during authentication. If the
required Subject is not in the cache it will be fetched from the
underlying security repo.
- Caching can be disabled by setting the security-invalidation-interval
to 0.
- Cache sizes are configurable.
- Management operations exist to inspect cache sizes at runtime.
