Error #6454: when trying to setup/connect to ensemble SOAP Service with SSL/Username Policy
Hello Community,
I want to secure a SOAP Webservice (an
As a small foreword: I'm pretty new to the whole security aspect of intersystems and soap itself.
System:
I've tried it on 2 different systems with pretty much the same result:
- IIS Server with a 2 System-Mirror Healthshare 2018.1.2 Installation
- local development environment with an Apache 2.4 (not the limited one delivered with the standard installation of healthshare) and the Healthshare installation on the same machine
- (i must admit, im not a server administration guy so I am not sure, if that is set up 100% correctly there - but anyway the outcome was the same on both systems)
Initial Setup:
I've got a soap service, the ensemble production with the soap service active, the webapplication for it, made some changes to the ^SYS(Security...) global to make it available, created a role and a user and set them up. Without policy and allowing unauthenticated access and the unknown it worked as I had expected.
I had sent my test requests with SoapUI at this stage and got the correct response back from healthshare and the ensemble messages were created as expected, too.
What I have done / tried
- Generated WS-Policy for SSL/Username for my service - I unselected everything there in the policy-wizard (like ws-addressing, strict layout and require client certificate) to make it as easy as possible and minimize other error sources that i didn't want to deal with at this stage. I didn't change anything of the generated policy as I couldn't find hints that it would be nessessary.
- changed the webapplication to enforce the use of keyword instead of unauthenticated login, set up my created user with the appropriate role
- on both systems the default communication to the webserver is over https, on the local apache system i tried it with http only too, though
- In SoapUI the only configuration change was to create a outgoing ws-configuration with the username + password and apply it to my requests - the resulting request included the needed usernameToken then
- I sent my requests to this address: https://server-domain/webapplicationname/OBG.EnsWSP.EnsBS.TestSoapServic...
After that failed (see below) I wanted to check that the username/login is not the problem, so I edited the policy at this stage, removing the whole "<sp:transportBinding>" block - so that no SSL is required and only the usernameToken is still nessessary.
I also tried various changes to the policy at this stage, as im not sure what I had to do, but that was more like blind guessing.
Questions that I had but couldnt answer myself at this point
If I want to secure the communication with SSL, I expected to have to provide a certificate for it somewhere either in the policy, the webservice class, webapplication or something , but I still don't know how or where to do so, if it is needed. Currently only the webserver itself has a certificate set up for its https communication. for the IIS-Server setup there is also a %superserver %telnet and some mirror ssl-configs configured in healthshare
What were the results?
After the above steps up to 4. the request fails with a soap-fault:

After that - as mentioned above -, I removed the whole transportBinding-part from the policy and tested it again with exactly the same request - then it worked again, as I expected.
I've sent all requests over https so they were basically encrypted, but as it seems, not like the policy wants me to.
Thanks for any help!
