  • 1.  Read custom attribute from Certificate

    Dear Community, 

    I need support in accessing a field of a ssl certificate in the API-Gateway.

    My current task is to log ssl certificate details to our logging infrastrure. The project is part of the PSD2 implementation which is a regulatory demand of the EU mainly for banks. So called third party providers send requests through our API-Gateway to banking services. They present a client certificate. Those certificates hold custom extensions with certain roles which we need to log. 

    So far I encoded a base26-decoded certificate into a variable of type X.509 Certificate. I am able to access the issuer or subject by calling ${certificate.issuer} or ${certificate.subject}. Unfortunatly I cannot find the correct property in the documentation Certificate Attributes Context Variables https://docops.ca.com/ca-api-gateway/9-2/en/reference/context-variables/certificate-attributes-context-variables

    I am only able to dump the complete certificate:
    [
    [
    Version: V3
    ...
    Certificate Extensions: 1
    [1]: ObjectId: 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.1.3 Criticality=false
    Extension unknown: DER encoded OCTET string =

    ]
    Algorithm: [SHA256withRSA]
    Signature:

    ]

    How can I access the highlighted section via a context variable in order to log those custom roles?

    Kind regards
    Niklas

    Hi Niklas,

    I guess this certificate you're trying to extract attributes from is related with the eIDAS regulation. If that's the case, upgrade your gateway to v9.2 CR2 and you will be able to extract the attributes you need using extension OIDs.

    ​Hello Burak,

    thank you for your quick response. That piece of information is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I cannot see the "the Source Variable check box", hence I cannot specifiy a source variable.

    The Policy Manager Version is 9.400 build 8872 and the Gateway's version is 9.4.00.
    See the screenshot I attached for more details.

    Kind regards
    Niklas

    Hi Niklas,

    You should upgrade your Gateway Cluster to v9.4 CR02 patch. After the upgrade, you will be able to see the change in the "Certificate Attributes Properties" window.


    Have a Nice Day,
    Burak.

    Thank you Burak,

    our Gateway runs inside a docker Container. Could you advise the appropriate tag?
    https://hub.docker.com/r/caapim/gateway/tags​

    Thank you
    Niklas
