[ARQ-630] The default charset is used to encode the HTTP BASIC AUTH credentials string into a sequence of bytes. ISO-8859-1 should be used for Tomcat - JBoss Issue Tracker

Details

Type: Bug
Status: Closed (View Workflow)
Priority: Major
Resolution: Done
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: tomcat_1.0.0.CR3
Component/s: Tomcat Containers
Labels:
None
Environment:
Win 7 32-bit (Locale: en_IN, file.encoding = Cp1252), Apache Tomcat 7.0.14

Forum Reference:
http://community.jboss.org/thread/173520?tstart=0

Steps to Reproduce:

Hide

1. Create a user in Tomcat 7 with the manager-script role assigned to it. The credentials (username or password or both) should contain atleast one umlaut.
e.g.:

<user username="Schröder" password="script" roles="manager-script"/>

2. The arquillian.xml file should specify the previously created user in the user and pass properties, and use the.
e.g.:

<property name="user">Schröder</property>

<property name="pass">script</property>

3. Use the workaround specified in SHRINKDESC-97 to allow Arquillian to read the UTF-8 encoded arquillian.xml.

4. Run the arquillian-tomcat-managed-7 tests, targetted against the configured Tomcat installation. The tests fail with the following error:

Description

Tomcat decodes the Authorization HTTP header containing the HTTP BASIC authentication credentials, using the ISO-8859-1 charset. On the contrary, Arquillian uses Charset.defaultCharset to encode the supplied credentials, before Base64 encoding the resulting byte array. This can result in a 401 error, when accessing the manager application on Tomcat; the failure will occur when the credentials contain characters that are encoded differently in ISO-8859-1 and the default charset of the environment. For example, if the default charset is UTF-8, then credentials containing ö will not be accepted by Tomcat as ö is encoded as 0xC3 0xB6 in UTF-8 and 0xF6 in ISO-8859-1.

The suggested fix is to use ISO-8859-1 in CommonTomcatManager.constructHttpBasicAuthHeader() as listed:

      // Set up an authorization header with our credentials

      String credentials = configuration.getUser() + ":" + configuration.getPass();

      return "Basic "

                + new String(Base64.encodeBase64(credentials.getBytes(Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1"))), Charset.defaultCharset());

instead of the existing

      // Set up an authorization header with our credentials

      String credentials = configuration.getUser() + ":" + configuration.getPass();

      return "Basic "

                + new String(Base64.encodeBase64(credentials.getBytes(Charset.defaultCharset())), Charset.defaultCharset());

Pull request submitted. An improvement of the proposed fix in JIRA is present in the pull request.

Unit tests have also been amended to use ISO-8859-1 credentials in arquillian.xml for testing; credentials in ASCII will continue to work.

This issue depends on SHRINKDESC-97. Until the parent issue is fixed, the workaround mentioned in SHRINKDESC-97 can be used to ensure that Arquillian does not fail to parse the arquillian.xml file.
