CAS 4.x, & LDAP Attributes - attributes

I have the same problem as several other questions here, none of which have really been answered; that is, with CAS 4.x (4.2.6 actually) I cannot get LDAP attributes to return to the client application.
Question 1 This seems like overkill; custom code to get around what is a "simple" problem.
Question 2 Had already done this, and it didn't work.
So, now it's my turn to ask... is there some magic to making it work? We've used 3.5 for a long time without any issues. I'm trying to convert those settings to the 4.x Maven overlayer and new context configuration of 4.x, and it's not doin' it.
I can see in the logs that CAS is requesting, and getting the properties I'm looking for from LDAP. But they are not getting put in the token back to the application.
What more needs to be done beyond what the Apereo documentation lays out? I'm thinking it's the attribute repository maybe??? If something would help you help me through this, just ask: Config, Logs (redacted of course)... anything.
Thanks.
Update #1. Here is my resolvers list. NOTE: I keep code/settings in place commented out until I get it to work before I clean stuff out.
<util:map id="authenticationHandlersResolvers">
<!--
<entry key-ref="proxyAuthenticationHandler" value-ref="proxyPrincipalResolver" />
<entry key-ref="primaryAuthenticationHandler" value-ref="primaryPrincipalResolver" />
-->
<!--<entry key-ref="ldapAuthenticationHandler" value-ref="primaryPrincipalResolver" /> -->
<entry key-ref="ldapAuthenticationHandler" value="#{null}" />
</util:map>
Update #2
I've done more testing, and still am unsuccessful. I think, it's coming down to the principalAttributeMap of the LdapAuthenticationHandler not working, OR, the attributeReleasePolicy of the serviceRegistryDao... anyone see any issues in this config?
<bean id="ldapAuthenticationHandler" class="org.jasig.cas.authentication.LdapAuthenticationHandler"
p:principalIdAttribute="sAMAccountName"
c:authenticator-ref="authenticator"
>
<property name="principalAttributeMap">
<map>
<entry key="cn" value="cn" />
<entry key="mail" value="Email" />
<entry key="memberOf" value="Groups" />
<entry key="displayName" value="displayName" />
</map>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="serviceRegistryDao" class="org.jasig.cas.services.InMemoryServiceRegistryDaoImpl">
<property name="registeredServices">
<list>
<bean class="org.jasig.cas.services.RegexRegisteredService"
p:id="5"
p:name="All Servicesxxx"
p:description="Allow connections for all services and protocols"
p:serviceId="^(http|https|imaps)://.*"
p:evaluationOrder="5"
>
<property name="attributeReleasePolicy">
<bean class="org.jasig.cas.services.ReturnAllAttributeReleasePolicy" />
</property>
</bean>
</list>
</property>
</bean>

To quote from CAS Security Guide:
All communication with the CAS server MUST occur over a secure channel
(i.e. TLSv1). There are two primary justifications for this
requirement:
The authentication process requires transmission of security
credentials.
The CAS ticket-granting ticket is a bearer token.
Since the disclosure of either data would allow impersonation attacks, it’s
vitally important to secure the communication channel between CAS
clients and the CAS server.
Practically, it means that all CAS urls must use HTTPS, but it also
means that all connections from the CAS server to the application must
be done using HTTPS:
when the generated service ticket is sent back to the application on the “service” url when a
proxy callback url is called.
HTTPS is a must in CAS. However, there are possibilities to disable it but it is highly recommended not to do so. If you have struggle to handle the SSL configuration, I recommend you read my question where I explain in detail how to deal with the keystores.

How to get only List of all properties of User through Graph API

I am working on CRUD operation of User on Azure AD. I will use Java to handle it.
My requirement is I want one Graph API reference or any other utility through which I will get list of Users all properties like 'accountEnabled', 'displayName', 'mailNickname', 'userPrincipalName' ,'passwordProfile' .... there are so many.
I am trying to get from below API:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata
But here, I am getting huge data in which User properties are also present.
Below is piece of response from above API:
<EntityType Name="user" BaseType="microsoft.graph.directoryObject" OpenType="true">
<Property Name="accountEnabled" Type="Edm.Boolean" />
<Property Name="ageGroup" Type="Edm.String" />
<Property Name="assignedLicenses" Type="Collection(microsoft.graph.assignedLicense)" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="assignedPlans" Type="Collection(microsoft.graph.assignedPlan)" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="businessPhones" Type="Collection(Edm.String)" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="city" Type="Edm.String" />
likewise there are so many tags
Can anyone know how to get it?
Any help is much appreciated!!
The $metadata document has a list of all entities like users and groups and I don't think there's a way to scope it down to just users. If you're not interested in parsing it, maybe look at the Graph SDK and use reflection? The SDKs are generated from the Graph metadata so for example the Java SDK has all these properties on the User class - https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-java/blob/dev/src/main/java/com/microsoft/graph/models/generated/BaseUser.java#L201
You can check the microsoft graph github organization page for SDKs in other languages.

Slow performance spring.io flow from ActiveMQ to OracleAQ with XA

I have a Spring integration flow which bridges from ActiveMQ to OracleAQ.
See example project under GitHub - https://github.com/cknzl2014/springio-ora-xa/tree/atomikos.
When I run it without XA, it is blazingly fast.
With XA, it processes only 1 to 2 messages per second.
When profiling the application, I see that for every message a new physical connection is established, and with this, the metadata query is issued on the oracle db.
But I don't understand why it does this, and how I can prevent this from happening.
Does anyone of you guys have experience with OracleAQ and XA?
Could this be a problem with the XA transaction manager (I use Atomikos)?
Thanks for your help,
Chris
We found a solution to the problem.
It consists of four steps.
Step 1: Use the latest Oracle client libraries
The first step ist to use the lastest Oracle 12c client libraries.
There were significant improvements in the ojdbc8.jar, e.g. they use stored procedures to get the metadata now.
This increased the throughput to about 10 msgs/s.
Step 2: Setup connection pooling correctly
The second step was improving the connection pooling according to article http://thinkfunctional.blogspot.ch/2012/05/atomikos-and-oracle-aq-pooling-problem.html:
<bean id="oraXaDataSource" primary="true"
class="oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource" destroy-method="close">
<property name="URL" value="${oracle.url}" />
<property name="user" value="${oracle.username}" />
<property name="password" value="${oracle.password}" />
</bean>
<bean id="atomikosOraclaDataSource"
class="org.springframework.boot.jta.atomikos.AtomikosDataSourceBean">
<property name="uniqueResourceName" value="xaOracleAQ" />
<property name="xaDataSource" ref="oraXaDataSource" />
<property name="poolSize" value="5" />
</bean>
<bean id="OracleAQConnectionFactory" class="oracle.jms.AQjmsFactory" factory-method="getConnectionFactory">
<constructor-arg ref="atomikosOraclaDataSource" />
</bean>
This configuration alone resultet in exceptions because of 'auto-commit' of the Oracle connection.
Step 3: Set autoCommit to false
The third step was to set the following java system property (see https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/JAJDB/oracle/jdbc/OracleConnection.html#CONNECTION_PROPERTY_AUTOCOMMIT):
-DautoCommit=false
But then the throughput went down to 1 to 2 msg/s again.
Step 4: Set oracle.jdbc.autoCommitSpecCompliant to false
The last step was to set the following java system property (see https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/JAJDB/oracle/jdbc/OracleConnection.html#CONNECTION_PROPERTY_AUTO_COMMIT_SPEC_COMPLIANT):
-Doracle.jdbc.autoCommitSpecCompliant=false
Now we get a throughput of 80 msgs/s.
Conclusion
The setting of oracle.jdbc.autoCommitSpecCompliant to false is not elegant, but solved the problem.
We have to investigate further to see how we can get around this problem without setting oracle.jdbc.autoCommitSpecCompliant to false.
Many thanks to Dani Steinmann (stonie) for the help!
P.S.: I updated the sample project under GitHub - https://github.com/cknzl2014/springio-ora-xa/tree/atomikos.
First of all you should be sure that you use pool for JDBC connections.
On the other hand you may consider to use ChainedTransactionManager isntead of XA for two target transaction managers - JMS and JDBC.
Also see some information in the JDBC extensions project.
There is also some Oracle AQ API as well in that project.

Implement a connection between my application (Spring integration) with IBM-MQ - High Availability

I am trying to implement a connection between my application (Spring integration) with IBM-MQ, I did see the question spring-integration-support-for-clustered-high-availability-ibm-mq-manager, but in my case each host has different "queueManager" and "channels", it means I will have must have a configuration like follows but, the queueManager and channels properties support a String not a list values:
<bean id="connectionFactory" class="com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory">
<property name="connectionNameList" value="host1(6464),host1(6464)" />
<property name="clientReconnectTimeout" value="15000" />
<property name="transportType" value="1" />
<property name="queueManager" value="QM1, QM1," />
<property name="channel" value="channel1,channel1"/>
</bean>
The simplest thing would be to define a channel with the same name on both hosts and let the client try host1 first and then host2 using connectionNameList. In this setup it would always prefer host1. You would need to specify a queueManager that is blank so that the client will accept the queue manager it connects to. Example follows:
<property name="queueManager" value="" />
Another option that was pointed out in a comment from Morag on the other post you linked to is to use a CCDT (Client channel definition table).
See Using a client channel definition table with IBM WebSphere MQ classes for JMS. The property name is CCDTURL
The CCDT can have multiple CLNTCONN channel entries with different channel names all having the same QMNAME, this is called a Queue Manager Group, you would then specify the queueManager property as *QMNAME, this will allow the app to connect to which ever queue manager you are directed to with out regard to the actual queue manager name. There are other parameters of the CLNTCONN listed at the bottom of the link I provided that can help you to control if one queue manager is preferred over the other(s) as well as which queue manager to connect to if a reconnect is required.

How to provide new rest-template for every request to int-http:outbound-gateway?

I am facing issue with the int-http:outbound-gateway when I am passing a rest-template which holds the basic credentials at the initial time. But, if any one changes credentials in database, rest-template cannot get those updated credential dynamically.
My code,
<int-http:outbound-gateway id="OutboundGateway"
request-channel="sendDataToContentType"
url="http://localhost:8080"
expected-response-type="java.lang.String"
rest-template="restTemplate"/>
<bean id="httpComponentsMessageSender" class="org.springframework.ws.transport.http.HttpComponentsMessageSender">
<property name="credentials">
<bean class="org.apache.http.auth.UsernamePasswordCredentials">
<constructor-arg value="${fromDatabase.userName}"/>
<constructor-arg value="${fromDatabase.password}"/>
</bean>
</property>
<bean id="restTemplate" class="org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate">
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.springframework.http.client.HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory">
<property name="httpClient" value="#{httpComponentsMessageSender.httpClient}"/>
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
Is there any solution for this?
You don't need to do anything with the rest-template. There is need really just update the credentials on the underlying HttpClient.
I'd do that similar to the org.springframework.ws.transport.http.HttpComponentsMessageSender code:
((org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient) getHttpClient())
.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(authScope, credentials);
I mean in case of changing credential in the DB you should retrieve that #{httpComponentsMessageSender.httpClient} in your service and call that code.
In fact the credentials are used for each request:
context.setAttribute(
ClientContext.CREDS_PROVIDER,
getCredentialsProvider());
return context;
where it is used from the AbstractHttpClient.doExecute().
So, update the credentials on the HttpClient in one place has effect for the next HTTP Request from the <int-http:outbound-gateway>.
UPDATE
But, in this approach a new httpClient instance is being passed
Right, you can use the HttpClientBuilder but only once, on the initialization phase. I mean you need it for the httpClient injection to the httpComponentsMessageSender.
And the reason for that is because you can pass there (HttpClientBuilder) your own CredentialsProvider. When the same setCredentials(authScope, credentials) can be used from your DB service.

how to add a retry advice with jms:message-driven-channel-adapter

I am new to spring integration. My requirement is that if there is a connection problem to the jms q then it should try to connect 3 times then log it and exit the process. I am not able to do it. It throws an error saying it needs the ref attribute for service:activator. But I don't have/know reference of which class to provide here. Is there any other way of doing it?
<int-jms:message-driven-channel-adapter id="msgIn" channel="toRoute" container="messageListenerContainer" />
<int:service-activator id="service" input-channel="toRoute" >
<int:request-handler-advice-chain>
<bean class="org.springframework.integration.handler.advice.RequestHandlerRetryAdvice">
<property name="recoveryCallback">
<bean class="org.springframework.integration.handler.advice.ErrorMessageSendingRecoverer">
<constructor-arg ref=“errorChannel" />
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
</request-handler-advice-chain>
</int:service-activator>
You seem to have completely misunderstood what the framework does.
The service-activator gets a message when one is received from JMS (which implies the connection is good), and needs "something" (a reference to a bean or an expression) to invoke as a result of receiving that message.
The retry advice is to retry calling that service if it fails to process the message for some reason. It is unrelated to whatever is the source of the message (JMS in this case).
It's not clear why you are trying to use Spring Integration for something as simple as testing whether a JMS broker is available.
Perhaps if you can provide some larger context someone might be able to help.
