# Authentication Guide
|
|
|
|
## Enable Authentication using HTTPS at the backend CSE and gateway CSE
|
|
|
|
To enable authentication the following parameters need to be changed in the configuration files of the backend CSE and gateway CSE named `config-backend.json` and `config-gateway.json`.
|
|
The configuration files are located in the `openmtc-open-source/openmtc-gevent` directory.
|
|
|
|
In the `plugins` section of each configuration file the HTTPTransportPlugin needs to be enabled.
|
|
Therefore, make sure the `disabled` option of the plugin is set to **false**.
|
|
Set the option `enable_https` to **true** in the config of the HTTPTransportPlugin to enable HTTPS.
|
|
If the option `require_cert` is set to **true**, the client that requests the gateway must provide a certificate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Example of the gateway CSE configuration:
|
|
```json
|
|
"plugins": {
|
|
"openmtc_cse": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "HTTPTransportPlugin",
|
|
"package": "openmtc_cse.plugins.transport_gevent_http",
|
|
"disabled": false,
|
|
"config": {
|
|
"enable_https": true,
|
|
"interface": "::",
|
|
"port": 8000,
|
|
"require_cert": true
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The necessary SSL parameters used for the HTTPS/SSL connection must be specified in the `ssl_certs` option in the `onem2m` section of the corresponding configuration file.
|
|
This option includes the private key (`key`), the certificate (`crt`) and the certificate chain (`ca`).
|
|
Pre-shipped keys, certificates and a chain file which can be used at the gateway CSE and the backend CSE are located in the `openmtc-open-source/openmtc-gevent/certs` directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Example of the SSL parameters configured at the gateway CSE:
|
|
```json
|
|
"onem2m": {
|
|
"accept_insecure_certs": false,
|
|
"cse_base": "onem2m",
|
|
"cse_id": "mn-cse-1",
|
|
"cse_type": "MN-CSE",
|
|
"overwrite_originator": {
|
|
"enabled": false,
|
|
"originator": "/openmtc.org/mn-cse-1"
|
|
},
|
|
"sp_id": "openmtc.org",
|
|
"ssl_certs": {
|
|
"ca": "certs/ca-chain.cert.pem",
|
|
"crt": "certs/mn-cse-1-client-server.cert.pem",
|
|
"key": "certs/mn-cse-1-client-server.key.pem"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Registering the gateway CSE to the backend CSE using HTTPS
|
|
|
|
The RegistrationHandler plugin is responsible to register the gateway CSE to the backend CSE.
|
|
Therefore, the plugin needs to be enabled by setting the `disabled` option to **false**.
|
|
Furthermore, when HTTPS is enabled at both CSEs the options `poa` and `own_poa` needs to be changed to **https://...** in the `config` section of the RegistrationHandler plugin.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "RegistrationHandler",
|
|
"package": "openmtc_cse.plugins.registration_handler",
|
|
"disabled": false,
|
|
"config": {
|
|
"interval": 3600,
|
|
"labels": [
|
|
"openmtc"
|
|
],
|
|
"offset": 3600,
|
|
"remote_cses": [
|
|
{
|
|
"cse_base": "onem2m",
|
|
"cse_id": "in-cse-1",
|
|
"cse_type": "IN_CSE",
|
|
,
|
|
"own_poa": [
|
|
"https://localhost:8000"
|
|
],
|
|
"poa": [
|
|
"https://localhost:18000"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Authentication of AEs/IPEs
|
|
|
|
When HTTPS is enabled in the configuration of the CSEs the AEs/IPEs must provide SSL information as well to perform requests to the CSEs.
|
|
|
|
Using the [OpenMTC application framework](./sdk-framework.md)
|
|
AEs and IPEs derive from the provided base class `openmtc_app.onem2m.XAE`.
|
|
|
|
When creating an instance of the AE/IPE the following additional SSL parameter can be specified:
|
|
* `ca_certs`: the certificate chain file
|
|
* `cert_file`: the certificate file
|
|
* `key_file`: the private key file
|
|
* `originator_pre`: the originator which needs to match the subjectAltName value in the certificate
|
|
|
|
If all SSL parameters are specified, the AE/IPE is started by the application framework using an HTTPS client.
|
|
|
|
### Example from the [onem2m-gui-sensors-actuators-final.py](/doc/training/apps/onem2m/ipe/sensors-actuators/onem2m-ipe-sensors-actuators-final.py) training IPE:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
host = 'https://localhost:8000'
|
|
app = TestIPE(
|
|
poas=['https://localhost:21346'], # adds poas in order to receive notifications
|
|
# SSL options
|
|
originator_pre='//openmtc.org/mn-cse-1', # originator_pre, needs to match value in cert
|
|
ca_certs='../../openmtc-gevent/certs/ca-chain.cert.pem',
|
|
cert_file='certs/test-ipe.cert.pem', # cert file, pre-shipped and should match name
|
|
key_file='certs/test-ipe.key.pem'
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Request information using curl when HTTPS is enabled
|
|
|
|
In general requests are performed just the same as presented in the [REST API Guide](./overview-rest-api.md).
|
|
But, when HTTPS is enabled additional SSL options need to be provided by the client to the CSE.
|
|
|
|
When using curl as client add the following options:
|
|
* **--cert**: the client certificate
|
|
* **--key**: the private client key
|
|
* **--cacert**: the certificate chain
|
|
* **-H**: set Header Fields, used to set the *X-M2M-Origin* header mapped as `the originator`
|
|
|
|
### Example curl request
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl https://localhost:8000/onem2m -v --cert test-ae.cert.pem --key test-ae.key.pem --cacert ca-chain.cert.pem -H "X-M2M-Origin: //openmtc.org/mn-cse-1/CTest-AE"
|
|
```
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
If the option `require_cert` in the HTTPTransportPlugin config is set to **false**, the client does not need to present a certificate.
|
|
Therefore, the curl option **--cert** and **--key** are not needed when sending a request to the CSE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl https://localhost:8000/onem2m -v --cacert ca-chain.cert.pem -H "X-M2M-Origin: //openmtc.org/mn-cse-1/CTest-AE"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs).
|
|
Using the **--cacert** option the "bundle" file which is used for verification can by specified.
|
|
In the above example this option is used and the certificate presented by the server to the curl client is verified.
|
|
Nevertheless, curl's verification of the server certificate can be turned off, using the **-k (or --insecure)** option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl https://localhost:8000/onem2m -v -H "X-M2M-Origin: //openmtc.org/mn-cse-1/CTest-AE" --insecure
|
|
```
