Soap4r, ssl and certificates problem

ruby-talk
1

Hi

I'm trying to consume a SOAP service that is on an ssl endpoint. The
security is public/private key.

What I have so far:

I have the wsdl for the service, together with the CA certificate and a
.pfx file which I believe contains everything I need. I have client ruby
classes which have been generated using the wsdl2ruby command line tool.
I have the soap4r gem 1.5.8 installed.

This is my code (forgive the clunkyness - it's for testing :wink:

···

------------------------------------------------
require 'rubygems'
gem 'soap4r'
require 'defaultDriver.rb'

class WS

  def initialize
    @context = CommonServiceContext.new(<various setup variables>)
    @param = SearchCompanyByEHId.new('2272357', @context)
    @driver = CompanySearchServiceV5.new
    @driver.loadproperty('ssl.properties')
  end

  def do
    begin
      @driver.searchCompanyByEHId(@param)
    rescue Exception => e
      return e
    end
  end
end
------------------------------------------------

This is what my 'ssl.properties' file looks like:

------------------------------------------------
protocol.http.ssl_config.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER
protocol.http.ssl_config.ca_file = ca.cer
protocol.http.ssl_config.client_cert = usercert.pem
protocol.http.ssl_config.client_key = userkey.pem
protocol.http.ssl_config.ciphers = ALL
protocol.http.ssl_config.verify_depth = 1
------------------------------------------------

I tried using openssl to extract my key and certificate from the pfx
file, using these commands:

openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in my_pfx.pfx -out userkey.key
openssl pkcs12 -clcerts -nokeys -in my_pfx.pfx -out usercert.cert

I don't get any errors so I assume that it's all ok at this point.

When I run my class, I get the following error:

OpenSSL::PKey::RSAError: Neither PUB key nor PRIV key:: nested asn1

Has anyone managed to get this kind of thing working. I'm struggling to
find any detailed examples or explanations (beyond the usual
basic_http_auth stuff) that have helped me.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Further to this, when I use the following openssl commands to extract
the certificate and key I get a different error:

<SOAP::FaultError: Internal Error>

Inspecting that object gives me the following:
