Secrets object and secret stores

IG uses the ForgeRock Commons Secrets Service to manage secrets, such as passwords and cryptographic keys.

For more information about how IG manages secrets, see Secrets.

Default secrets object (deprecated)

This object is deprecated; use SecretsProvider instead. For more information, refer to Deprecation.

IG automatically creates a secrets object in each route in the configuration, and in config.json and admin.json.

When the secrets object is not used to declare a secrets store in the configuration, IG creates a default SystemAndEnvSecretStore in the local secrets service. When the secrets object is used to declare a secrets store, the default is not installed in the local secrets service.

Usage

{
  "secrets": {
    "stores": [ SecretStore reference, ... ]
  }
}

Properties

"stores": array of SecretStore references, required

One or more of the following secret stores:

Base64EncodedSecretStore
FileSystemSecretStore
HsmSecretStore
JwkSetSecretStore
KeyStoreSecretStore
SystemAndEnvSecretStore

Example

The following example configures two secret stores:

{
  "secrets": {
    "stores": [
       {
        "type": "FileSystemSecretStore",
        "config": {
          "directory": "/path/to/secrets",
          "format": "BASE64"
        }
      },
      {
        "type": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore",
        "config": {
          "format": "PLAIN"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Base64EncodedSecretStore

Manage a repository of generic secrets, such as passwords or simple shared secrets, whose values are base64-encoded, and hard-coded in the route.

The secrets provider queries the Base64EncodedSecretStore for a named secret, identified by the secret-id in the "secret-id": "string" pair. The Base64EncodedSecretStore returns the matching secret.

The secrets provider builds the secret, checking that the secret’s constraints are met, and returns a unique secret. If the secret’s constraints are not met, the secrets provider cannot build the secret and the secret query fails.

Secrets from Base64EncodedSecretStore never expire.

Use Base64EncodedSecretStore for testing or evaluation only, to store passwords locally. In production, use an alternative secret store.

For a description of how secrets are managed, see Secrets.

Usage

{
  "name": string,
  "type": "Base64EncodedSecretStore",
  "config": {
    "secrets": map
  }
}

Properties

"secrets": map, required

Map of one or more secret ID/string pairs:

{
  "secrets": {
    "secret-id": "configuration expression<string>",
    ...
  }
}

Each pair has the form "secret-id": "string", where:

secret-id is the ID of a secret used in a route
string is the base64-encoded value of the secret

In the following example, Base64EncodedSecretStore configures two base64-encoded secrets:

{
  "type": "Base64EncodedSecretStore",
  "config": {
    "secrets": {
      "agent.password": "d2VsY29tZQ==",
      "crypto.header.key": "Y2hhbmdlaXQ="
    }
  }
}

In the following example, the values of the secrets are provided by a configuration token and a configuration expression, whose values are substituted when the route is loaded:

{
  "type": "Base64EncodedSecretStore",
  "config": {
    "secrets": {
      "agent.password": "&{secret.value|aGVsbG8=}",
      "crypto.header.key": "${readProperties('file.property')['b64.key.value']}"
    }
  }
}

Log level

To facilitate debugging secrets for the Base64EncodedSecretStore, in logback.xml add a logger defined by the fully qualified package name of the Base64EncodedSecretStore. The following line in logback.xml sets the log level to ALL:

<logger name="org.forgerock.openig.secrets.Base64EncodedSecretStore" level="ALL">

Example

For an example that uses Base64EncodedSecretStore, see client-credentials.json in Using OAuth 2.0 client credentials.

FileSystemSecretStore

Manage a store of secrets held in files, specified as follows:

Each file must contain only one secret.
The file must be in the directory specified by the property directory.
The filename must match the mappings property secretId.
The file content must match the mappings property format. For example, if the mapping specifies BASE64, the file content must be base64-encoded.

Secrets are read lazily from the filesystem.

The secrets provider queries the FileSystemSecretStore for a named secret, identified by the name of a file in the specified directory, without the prefix/suffix defined in the store configuration. The FileSystemSecretStore returns the secret that exactly matches the name.

For a description of how secrets are managed, see Secrets.

Usage

{
  "name": string,
  "type": "FileSystemSecretStore",
  "config": {
    "directory": configuration expression<string>,
    "format": SecretPropertyFormat reference,
    "suffix": configuration expression<string>,
    "mappings": [ object, ... ],
    "leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>
  }
}

Properties

"directory": configuration expression<string>, required: File path to a directory containing secret files. This object checks the specified directory, but not its subdirectories.

format: SecretPropertyFormat reference, optional

Format in which the secret is stored. Use one of the following values, or define a format:

BASE64: Base64-encoded
PLAIN: Plain text

Default: BASE64

"suffix": configuration expression<string>, optional

File suffix.

When set, the FileSystemSecretStore will append that suffix to the secret ID and try to find a file with the mapped name.

Default: None

"mappings": array of objects, optional

One or more mappings to define a secret:

secretId: configuration expression<secret-id>, required: The ID of the secret used in your configuration.
format: SecretPropertyFormat reference, required: The format and algorithm of the secret. Use SecretKeyPropertyFormat or PemPropertyFormat.

"leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>, optional: The amount of time that secrets produced by this store can be cached before they must be refreshed.

If the duration is zero or unlimited, IG issues a warning, and uses the default value.

Default: 5 minutes

Log level

To facilitate debugging secrets for the FileSystemSecretStore, in logback.xml add a logger defined by the fully qualified package name of the property resolver. The following line in logback.xml sets the log level to ALL:

<logger name="org.forgerock.secrets.propertyresolver" level="ALL">

Example

For an example that uses FileSystemSecretStore, see Pass Runtime Data in a JWT Signed With a PEM.

HsmSecretStore

Manage a store of secrets with a hardware security module (HSM) device or a software emulation of an HSM device, such as SoftHSM.

The secrets provider queries the HsmSecretStore for a named secret, identified by a secret ID and a stable ID, corresponding to the secret-id/aliases mapping. The HsmSecretStore returns a list of matching secrets.

For a description of how secrets are managed, see Secrets.

Usage

{
  "name": string,
  "type": "HsmSecretStore",
  "config": {
    "providerName": configuration expression<string>,
    "storePassword": configuration expression<secret-id>,
    "secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference,
    "mappings": [ object, ... ],
    "leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>
   }
}

Properties

"providerName": configuration expression<string>, required

The name of the pre-installed Java Security Provider supporting an HSM. Use a physical HSM device, or a software emulation of an HSM device, such as SoftHSM.

For the SunPKCS11 provider, concatenate "providerName" with the prefix SunPKCS11-. For example, declare the following for the name FooAccelerator:

"providerName": "SunPKCS11-FooAccelerator"

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

The secret ID of the password to access the HsmSecretStore.

For information about how IG manages secrets, see Secrets.

"secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference, optional

The SecretsProvider object to query for the storePassword.

Default: The route’s default secret service. For more information, see Default secrets object.

"mappings": array of objects, required

One or more mappings of one secret ID to one or more aliases.

The following example maps a secret ID to two aliases:

"mappings": [
  {
    "secretId": "global.pcookie.crypt",
    "aliases": [ "rsapair72-1", "rsapair72-2" ]
  }
]

secretId: configuration expression<secret-id>, required: The ID of the secret used in your configuration.
aliases: array of configuration expression<strings>, required: One or more aliases for the secret ID.

"leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>, optional: The amount of time that secrets produced by this store can be cached before they must be refreshed.

If the duration is zero or unlimited, IG issues a warning, and uses the default value.

Default: 5 minutes

Log level

To facilitate debugging secrets for the HsmSecretStore, in logback.xml add a logger defined by the fully qualified package name of the HsmSecretStore. The following line in logback.xml sets the log level to ALL:

<logger name="org.forgerock.secrets.keystore" level="ALL">

Example

To set up this example:

Set up and test the example in JwtBuilderFilter, and then replace the KeyStoreSecretStore in that example with an HsmSecretStore.
Set an environment variable for the HsmSecretStore password, storePassword, and then restart IG.

For example, if the HsmSecretStore password is password, set the following environment variable:
```
export HSM_PIN='cGFzc3dvcmQ='
```
The password is retrieved by the SystemAndEnvSecretStore, and must be base64-encoded.
Create a provider config file, as specified in the PKCS#11 Reference guide.

Depending on your version of Java, create a java.security.ext file for the IG instance, with the following content:

security.provider.<number>=<provider-name> <path-to-provider-cfg-file>

security.provider.<number>=<class-name> <path-to-provider-cfg-file>

Start the IG JVM with the following system property that points to the provider config file:
```
-Djava.security.properties=file://path-to-security-extension-file
```

The following example route is based on the examples in JwtBuilderFilter, replacing the KeyStoreSecretStore with an HsmSecretStore:

JwkSetSecretStore

Manages a secret store for JSON Web Keys (JWK) from a local or remote JWK Set.

The secrets provider queries the JwkSetSecretStore, as follows:

If the JWT contains a kid, the secrets provider queries the JwkSetSecretStore for a named secret, identified by value of the kid of a JWK stored in the JwkSetSecretStore.
If the JWT doesn’t contain a kid, the secrets provider queries the JwkSetSecretStore for list of valid secrets, whose purpose matches the secret ID and any purpose contraints. The JwkSetSecretStore returns the secrets in the order that they are listed in the JWK set.

For a description of how secrets are managed, see Secrets.

For information about JWKs and JWK Sets, see SON Web Key (JWK).

Usage

{
  "name": string,

JSON Web Key (JWK)

KeyStoreSecretStore

Manages a secret store for cryptographic keys and certificates, based on a standard Java KeyStore.

The KeyStore is typically file-based PKCS12 KeyStore. Legacy proprietary formats such as JKS and JCEKS are supported, but implement weak encryption and integrity protection mechanisms. Consider not using them for new functionality.

The secrets provider queries the KeyStoreSecretStore for a named secret, identified by a secret ID and a stable ID, corresponding to the secret-id/aliases mapping. The KeyStoreSecretStore returns a secret that exactly matches the name, and whose purpose matches the secret ID and any purpose contraints.

For a description of how secrets are managed, see Secrets.

Usage

{
  "name": string,
  "type": "KeyStoreSecretStore",
  "config": {
    "file": configuration expression<string>,

    "storePassword": configuration expression<string>,
    "keyEntryPassword": configuration expression<string>,
    "secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference,
    "mappings": [ object, ... ],
    "leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>
   }
}

Properties

"file": configuration expression<string>, required

The path to the KeyStore file.

"storeType": configuration expression<string>, optional

The secret store type.

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

The secret ID of the password to access the KeyStore.

IG searches for the value of the password until it finds it, first locally, then in parent routes, then in config.json.

To create a store password, add a file containing the password. The filename must corresponds to the secret ID, and the file content must contain only the password, with no trailing spaces or carriage returns.

"keyEntryPassword": configuration expression<secret-id>, optional

The secret ID of the password to access entries in the KeyStore.

To create an entry password, add a file containing the password. The filename must corresponds to the secret ID, and the file content must contain only the password, with no trailing spaces or carriage returns.

When this property is used, the password must be the same for all entries in the KeyStore. If JKS uses different password for entries, keyEntryPassword doesn’t work.

Default: The value of storePassword

"secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference, optional

The SecretsProvider object to query for the keystore password and key entry password. For more information, see SecretsProvider.

Default: The route’s default secret service. For more information, see Default secrets object.

"mappings": array of objects, required

One or more mappings of one secret ID to one or more aliases. The secret store uses the mappings as follows:

When the secret is used to create signatures or encrypt values, the secret store uses the active secret, the first alias in the list.
When the secret is used to verify signatures or decrypt data, the secret store tries all of the mapped aliases in the list, starting with the first, and stopping when it finds a secret that can successfully verify signature or decrypt the data.
```
"mappings": [
  {
    "secretId": "id.key.for.signing.jwt",
    "aliases": [ "SigningKeyAlias", "AnotherSigningKeyAlias" ]
  },
  {
    "secretId": "id.key.for.encrypting.jwt",

  }
]
```

secretId: configuration expression<secret-id>, required: The ID of the secret used in your configuration.
aliases: array of configuration expression<strings>, required: One or more aliases for the secret ID.

"leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>, optional: The amount of time that secrets produced by this store can be cached before they must be refreshed.

If the duration is zero or unlimited, IG issues a warning, and uses the default value.

Default: 5 minutes

Log level

To facilitate debugging secrets for the KeyStoreSecretStore, in logback.xml add a logger defined by the fully qualified package name of the KeyStoreSecretStore. The following line in logback.xml sets the log level to ALL:

<logger name="org.forgerock.secrets.keystore" level="ALL">

PemPropertyFormat

The format of a secret used with a mappings configuration in FileSystemSecretStore and SystemAndEnvSecretStore. Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) is a file format for storing and sending cryptographic keys, certificates, and other data, based on standards in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7468[Textual Encodings of PKIX, PKCS, and CMS Structures. By default, OpenSSL generates keys using the PEM format.

Encryption methods and ciphers used for PEM encryption must be supported by the Java Cryptography Extension.

PEM keys have the following format, where the PEM label is associated to the type of stored cryptographic material:

-----BEGIN {PEM label}-----
Base64-encoded cryptographic material
-----END {PEM label}-----

PEM Label Stored Cryptographic Material

PEM Label	Stored Cryptographic Material
`CERTIFICATE`	X.509 Certificate
`PUBLIC KEY`	X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo
`PRIVATE KEY`	PKCS#8 Private Key
`ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY`	Encrypted PKCS#8 Private Key
`EC PRIVATE KEY`	EC Private Key
`RSA PRIVATE KEY`	PKCS#1 RSA Private Key
`RSA PUBLIC KEY`	PKCS#1 RSA Public Keys
`DSA PRIVATE KEY`	PKCS#1-style DSA Private Key
`HMAC SECRET KEY`	HMAC Secret Keys
`AES SECRET KEY`	AES Secret Keys
`GENERIC SECRET`	Generic Secrets (passwords, API keys, etc)

PKCS#1 is the standard that defines RSA. For more information, see RFC 8017: RSA Public Key Syntax.
PKCS#1-style DSA and EC keys are not defined in any standard, but are adapted from the RSA format.
HMAC SECRET KEY, AES SECRET KEY, and GENERIC SECRET are a ForgeRock extension, and not currently supported by any other tools.

The following example is non-standard PEM encoding of an HMAC symmetric secret key. The payload is base64-encoded random bytes that are the key material, with no extra encoding.
```
-----BEGIN HMAC SECRET KEY-----
Pj/Vel...thB0U=
-----END HMAC SECRET KEY-----
```
Run the following example command to create the key:
```
cat <<EOF
-----BEGIN HMAC SECRET KEY-----
$(head -c32 /dev/urandom | base64)
-----END HMAC SECRET KEY-----
EOF
```

        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

The following example shows the equivalent SecretsProvider configuration with an inline compact format:

"secretsProvider": {
  "name": "KeyStoreSecretStore-1",
  "type": "KeyStoreSecretStore",
  "config": {
    "file": "/path/to/keystore.jks",
    "mappings": [
      {
        "aliases": [ "myprivatekeyalias" ],
        "secretId": "private.key.jwt.signing.key"
      }
    ],
    "storePassword": "keystore.secret.id",
    "storeType": "JKS"
  }
}

The following example shows the equivalent SecretsProvider configuration with a compact format, referencing a KeyStoreSecretStore object in the heap:

"secretsProvider": "KeyStoreSecretStore-1"

SecretsTrustManager

Uses the Commons Secrets Service to manage trust material that verifies the credentials presented by a peer. Trust material is usually public key certificates. The configuration references the secrets store that holds the trust material.

Usage

{
  "name": string,
  "type": "SecretsTrustManager",
  "config": {
    "verificationSecretId": configuration expression<secret-id>,
    "secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference,
    "checkRevocation": configuration expression<boolean>
  }
}

Properties

"verificationSecretId": configuration expression<secret-id>, required: The secret ID to retrieve trusted certificates.
"secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference, required: The SecretsProvider to query for secrets to resolve trusted certificates. For more information, see SecretsProvider.
"checkRevocation": configuration expression<boolean>, optional: Specifies whether to check for certificate revocation.

Default: true

Example

The following example trusts a list of certificates found in a given keystore:

{
  "type": "SecretsTrustManager",
  "config": {
    "verificationSecretId": "trust.manager.secret.id",
    "secretsProvider": {
      "type": "KeyStoreSecretStore",
      "config": {
        "file": "path/to/certs/truststore.p12",
        "storePassword": "keystore.pass",
        "secretsProvider": "SecretsPasswords",
        "mappings": [{
          "secretId": "trust.manager.secret.id",
          "aliases": [ "alias-of-trusted-cert-1", "alias-of-trusted-cert-2" ]
        }]
      }
    }
  }
}

SystemAndEnvSecretStore

Manage a store of secrets from system properties and environment variables.

A secret ID must conform to the convention described in secret-id. The reference is then transformed to match the environment variable name, as follows:

Periods (.) are converted to underscores.
Characters are transformed to uppercase.

For example, my.secret.id is transformed to MY_SECRET_ID.

The secrets provider queries the SystemAndEnvSecretStore for a named secret, identified by the name of a system property or environment variable. The SystemAndEnvSecretStore returns a secret that exactly matches the name.

For a description of how secrets are managed, see Secrets.

Usage

{
  "name": string,
  "type": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore",
  "config": {
    "format": SecretPropertyFormat reference,
    "mappings": [ object, ... ],
    "leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>
    }
}

Properties

format: SecretPropertyFormat reference, optional

Format in which the secret is stored. Use one of the following values, or define a format:

BASE64: Base64-encoded
PLAIN: Plain text

Default: BASE64

"mappings": array of objects, optional

One or more mappings to define a secret:

secretId: configuration expression<secret-id>, required: The ID of the secret used in your configuration.
format: SecretPropertyFormat reference, required: The format and algorithm of the secret. Use SecretKeyPropertyFormat or PemPropertyFormat.

"leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>, optional: The amount of time that secrets produced by this store can be cached before they must be refreshed.

If the duration is zero or unlimited, IG issues a warning, and uses the default value.

Default: 5 minutes

Log level

To facilitate debugging secrets for the SystemAndEnvSecretStore, in logback.xml add a logger defined by the fully qualified package name of the property resolver. The following line in logback.xml sets the log level to ALL:

<logger name="org.forgerock.secrets.propertyresolver" level="ALL">

Example

For an example of how to uses a SystemAndEnvSecretStore to manage a password, see the example in Authenticate with SSO through the default authentication service
