IG 7.1.2

KeyManager

The configuration of a Java Secure Socket Extension KeyManager to manage private keys for IG. The configuration references the keystore that holds the keys.

When IG acts as a server, it uses a KeyManager to prove its identity to the client. When IG acts as a client, it uses a KeyManager to prove its identity to the server.

Usage

{
  "name": string,
  "type": "KeyManager",
  "config": {
    "keystore": KeyStore reference,
    "passwordSecretId": configuration expression<secret-id>,
    "alg": configuration expression<string>,
    "secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference
  }
}

Properties

"keystore": KeyStore reference, required

The KeyStore that references the store for key certificates. When keystore is used in a KeyManager, it queries for private keys; when keystore is used in a TrustManager, it queries for certificates.

Provide either the name of the KeyStore object defined in the heap, or an inline KeyStore configuration object.

In web container mode, when ClientHandler or ReverseProxyHandler use keystore, the keystore can be different to that used by the web container.

See also KeyStore.

"passwordSecretId": configuration expression<secret-id>, required

The secret ID of the password required to read private keys from the KeyStore.

"alg": configuration expression<string>, optional

The certificate algorithm to use.

Default: the default for the platform, such as SunX509.

See also Expressions.

"secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference, optional

The SecretsProvider to query for the keystore password. For more information, see SecretsProvider.

Default: The route’s default secret service. For more information, see Default Secrets Object.

Example

The following example configures a KeyManager that depends on a KeyStore configuration. The KeyManager and KeyStore passwords are provided by Java system properties or environment variables, and retrieved by the SystemAndEnvSecretStore. By default, the password values must be base64-encoded.

{
  "name": "MyKeyManager",
  "type": "KeyManager",
  "config": {
    "keystore": {
      "type": "KeyStore",
      "config": {
        "url": "file://${env['HOME']}/keystore.jks",
        "passwordSecretId": "keymanager.keystore.secret.id",
        "secretsProvider": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore"
      }
    },
    "passwordSecretId": "keymanager.secret.id",
    "secretsProvider": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore"
  }
}
