Sign SOAP XML using a wsse:SecurityTokenReference

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

This example signs SOAP XML such that the KeyInfo in the XML Signature is a wsse:SecurityTokenReference to the X.509 certificate embedded elsewhere in the SOAP XML.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- To begin, we'll need a PFX containing a certificate and private key, and the SOAP XML to be signed.
-- Chilkat provides sample data at chilkatsoft.com and chilkatdownload.com, and our first step is to download.

-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 1: Get the SOAP XML template to be signed.
--
local sbXml = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()

local http = chilkat.Http.new()
local success = http:quick_get_sb("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/wssSoapTemplate.xml", sbXml)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- The SOAP XML template contains this:

-- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?>
-- <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
-- <SOAP-ENV:Header>
--  <wsse:Security xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"
--                 xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"
--                 xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd"
--                 xmlns:xenc="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#" SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="1">
--  <wsse:BinarySecurityToken
--                EncodingType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-soap-message-security-1.0#Base64Binary"
--                ValueType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-x509-token-profile-1.0#X509"
--                wsu:Id="x509cert00">BASE64_CERT</wsse:BinarySecurityToken>
--  </wsse:Security>
-- </SOAP-ENV:Header>
-- <SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" wsu:Id="TheBody">
--  <getVersion xmlns="http://msgsec.wssecfvt.ws.ibm.com"/>
-- </SOAP-ENV:Body>
-- </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
--

-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 2: Get the test certificate and private key stored in a .pfx
--
local pfxData = chilkat.BinData.new()
success = http:quick_get_bd("http://chilkatdownload.com/example_data/testcertificate.pfx", pfxData)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

local pfx = chilkat.Pfx.new()
local password = "test"
success = pfx:load_pfx_encoded(pfxData:get_encoded("base64"), "base64", password)
if not success then
    print(pfx.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 3: Get the certificate from the PFX.
--
local cert = chilkat.Cert.new()
success = pfx:cert_at(0, cert)
if not success then
    print(pfx.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 4: Replace "BASE64_CERT" with the actual base64 encoded certificate.
--
local bdCert = chilkat.BinData.new()
cert:export_cert_der_bd(bdCert)

local numReplaced = sbXml:replace("BASE64_CERT", bdCert:get_encoded("base64"))

-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 5: Build the wsse:SecurityTokenReference XML.
-- This will be the CustomKeyInfoXml (see below).
--
local refXml = chilkat.Xml.new()
refXml.tag = "wsse:SecurityTokenReference"
refXml:update_attr_at("wsse:Reference", true, "URI", "#x509cert00")
refXml:update_attr_at("wsse:Reference", true, "ValueType", "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-x509-token-profile-1.0#X509")

-- The above lines of code builds the following XML:

--     <wsse:SecurityTokenReference>
--         <wsse:Reference URI="#x509cert00" ValueType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-x509-token-profile-1.0#X509" />
--     </wsse:SecurityTokenReference>
--
refXml.emit_xml_decl = false
print(refXml:get_xml())

-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 6: Setup the XML Digital Signature Generator and add the XML Signature.
--
local gen = chilkat.XmlDSigGen.new()
gen.sig_location = "SOAP-ENV:Envelope|SOAP-ENV:Header|wsse:Security"
gen.signed_info_prefix_list = "wsse SOAP-ENV"
gen:add_same_doc_ref("TheBody", "sha1", "EXCL_C14N", "", "")
gen.key_info_type = "Custom"
refXml.emit_compact = true

gen.custom_key_info_xml = refXml:get_xml()
gen:set_x509_cert(cert, true)

success = gen:create_xml_dsig_sb(sbXml)
if not success then
    print(gen.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Examine the signed XML
print(sbXml:get_as_string())

-- Pretty-printed, the XML signature looks as shown here:
-- (The exact XML signature is shown below. Pretty-printing invalidates the XML signature.)
