LDAPS authentication to Active Directory and certificate validation

[mmusolesi]

We are configuring Cerebro to autheticate users by LDAP on Active directory, but authetication fails with: Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

we tried to disable certification validation with these parameters in application.conf: play.ws.ssl.loose.allowWeakCiphers = true play.ws.ssl.loose.allowWeakProtocols = true play.ws.ssl.loose.acceptAnyCertificate = true play.ws.ssl.loose.disableHostnameVerification = true

Cerebro continues to check certificate and fails authentcation.

we tried to debug problem by play.ws.ssl.debug.all = true but cerebro fails to start

Any idea?

Hi, Have you found some workaround? I've tried to run /opt/cerebro/bin/cerebro -Dcom.sun.net.ssl.checkRevocation=false, but it does not work. Thank you

Hi,

no way, I do not yet find a solution.

I noted to try again by using a trustmanager (see https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.5.x/WSQuickStart)

but I had no time. I'll do as soon

Kind Regards

Hi, I've found a workaround:

1. Create truststore with command keytool -import -alias myalias -keystore my.keystore -trustcacerts -file your-certificate.cer
2. Run cerebro with created keystore ./bin/cerebro -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=./conf/my.keystore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=your-password
