Corda open source on Linux. Node RPC SSL enabled. I am getting error "Failed to find a store at certificates\sslkeystore.jks". Any ideas? I have entered absolute path in keyStorePath.
You must follow the steps of this paragraph: https://docs.corda.net/clientrpc.html#wire-security which I detailed for you below.
When you enable RPC SSL, you must run this command one time (you will be asked to supply 2 new passwords):
java -jar corda.jar generate-rpc-ssl-settings
It will create the rpcsslkeystore.jks
under certificates
folder, and rpcssltruststore.jks
under certificates/export
folder.
Inside your node.conf
supply the path and password of rpcsslkeystore.jks
:
rpcSettings {
useSsl=true
ssl {
keyStorePath=${baseDirectory}/certificates/rpcsslkeystore.jks
keyStorePassword=password
}
standAloneBroker = false
address = "0.0.0.0:10003"
adminAddress = "0.0.0.0:10004"
}
Now if you have a webserver, inside NodeRPCConnection
you must use the constructor that takes a ClientRpcSslOptions
parameter:
// RPC SSL properties.
@Value("${config.rpc.ssl.truststorepath}")
private String trustStorePath;
@Value("${config.rpc.ssl.truststorepassword}")
private String trustStorePassword;
@PostConstruct
public void initialiseNodeRPCConnection() {
NetworkHostAndPort rpcAddress = new NetworkHostAndPort(host, rpcPort);
ClientRpcSslOptions clientRpcSslOptions = new ClientRpcSslOptions(Paths.get(trustStorePath),
trustStorePassword, "JKS");
CordaRPCClient rpcClient = new CordaRPCClient(rpcAddress, clientRpcSslOptions, null);
rpcConnection = rpcClient.start(username, password);
proxy = rpcConnection.getProxy();
}
We added above 2 extra attributes that you must now supply when starting the webserver, for that; modify your clients
module build.gradle
:
task runNodeServer(type: JavaExec, dependsOn: jar) {
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
main = 'com.example.server.ServerKt'
args '--server.port=50005', '--config.rpc.host=localhost',
'--config.rpc.port=10005', '--config.rpc.username=user1', '--config.rpc.password=test',
'--config.rpc.ssl.truststorepath=/path-to-project/build/nodes/your-node/certificates/export/rpcssltruststore.jks',
'--config.rpc.ssl.truststorepassword=password'
}
If you're planning to connect to the node with a standalone shell, you must do something similar, but it didn't work for me; I reported the following bug: https://github.com/corda/corda/issues/5955
Hi Adel. That's what I am doing. Only that I am not generating the key store separately. I am using the one generated by the network bootstrapper tool. And both the spring client and the built-in (not using standalone) shell server report that they can't find a store in that file. Note: the network was bootstrapped on a different machine and then nodes were moved into the destination machines.
I recommend that you follow the steps that R3 provided, if they say you must run that command and use the generated key and trust stores; then it's for a reason.
