- Subject: UW 1.0: target working, origin maybe

OK, finally got my 1.0 target working with the Shib Dev origin, you can
try it at https://perq.cac.washington.edu/cgi-bin/ppd . No particular
revelation, just working thru the usual how-could-it-ever-have-worked
things (like file permissions on private key).
I think my 1.0 UW origin might be working (I just reinstalled tomcat with
4.1.24, and Walter's latest), but I can't get a target to trust it (ain't
that just the way it is some times?).
The shib2 target says:
SHIRE failure at (http://shib2.internet2.edu/shib/SHIRE)
Exception: trust failed: ShibPOSTProfile::accept() detected an untrusted
HS for the origin site
which I think is what you'd expect if the site isn't in the sites file
(though I spose this message could be more clear about that).
I modified sites.xml on my target to include the UW origin site info, but
on my target I get (when using the UW origin):
SHIRE failure at (https://perq.cac.washington.edu/shibboleth/SHIRE)
Exception: trust failed: ShibPOSTProfile::verifySignature() cannot
validate the provided signing certificate(s)
It's picking up the site contact info from sites.xml, but obviously not
validating the authn assertion. Potentially relevant lines from shar.log:
2003-05-29 00:47:09 ERROR OpenSSL [6] new_session validate getX509Store:
error code: 185057381 in x509_lu.c, line 336
2003-05-29 00:47:09 ERROR shibtarget.rpc-server [6] new_session: received
SAML exception: ShibPOSTProfile::verifySignature() cannot validate the
provided signing certificate(s)
My origin is using a bossie-signed cert. I didn't modify trust.xml on my
target, but it seems I shouldn't have to, since my origin should fall into
the ^urn:mace:incommon:pilot:.+$ bucket
(urn:mace:incommon:pilot:washington.edu). Have we
So I dunno what's up there, but I'll poke some more. Maybe my site info
(below) could be added to the shib2 target so I can test more against
that.
