PFX keystore notes

This is a short note with useful commands for PFX keystores.
Import to AWS Certificate Manager
When you need to import PFX certificate into AWS Certificate Manager, you will have to export the unencrypted private key and certificate chain first.
  1. Export the unencrypted private key from PFX
    2. openssl pkcs12 -in domain_certificate.pfx -nocerts -nodes -out private_key.pem
  2. Export the certificate chain from PFX
    3. openssl pkcs12 -in domain_certificate.pfx -nokeys -out certificate.pem
When you have the PEM files, you can go to the AWS Certificate Manager, click "Import a Certificate" button and enter the following:
  • Certificate body* - paste the first certificate from certificate.pem ending with the words: "-----END CERTIFICATE-----"
  • Certificate private key* - paste the contents of private_key.pem
  • Certificate chain - paste the complete contents of certificate.pem

Connection to Amazon Neptune endpoint from EKS during development

This small article will describe how to connect to Amazon Neptune database endpoint from your PC during development. Amazon Neptune is a fully managed graph database service from Amazon. Due to security reasons direct connections to Neptune are not allowed, so it's impossible to attach a public IP address or load balancer to that service. Instead access is restricted to the same VPC where Neptune is set up, so applications should be deployed in the same VPC to be able to access the database. That's a great idea for Production however it makes it very difficult to develop, debug and test applications locally. The instructions below will help you to create a tunnel towards Neptune endpoint considering you use Amazon EKS - a managed Kubernetes service from Amazon. As a side note, if you don't use EKS, the same idea of creating a tunnel can be implemented using a Bastion server . In Kubernetes we'll create a dedicated proxying pod. Prerequisites. Setting up a tunnel.

DynamicReports and Spring MVC integration

This is a tutorial on how to exploit DynamicReports reporting library in an existing  Spring MVC based web application. It's a continuation to the previous post where DynamicReports has been chosen as the most appropriate solution to implement an export feature in a web application (for my specific use case). The complete code won't be provided here but only the essential code snippets together with usage remarks. Also I've widely used this tutorial that describes a similar problem for an alternative reporting library. So let's turn to the implementation description and start with a short plan of this how-to: Adding project dependencies. Implementing the Controller part of the MVC pattern. Modifying the View part of the MVC pattern. Modifying web.xml. Adding project dependencies I used to apply Maven Project Builder throughout my Java applications, thus the dependencies will be provided in the Maven format. Maven project pom.xml file: net.sourcefo

Cocoon authentication

This article will guide you through the steps showing how to use the Authentication Framework in a Cocoon 2.2 application. Maven dependencies. Spring configuration. Sitemap. Login page and controls. Maven dependencies You need the following dependency in your pom.xml : <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cocoon</groupId> <artifactId>cocoon-auth-impl</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </dependency> Spring configuration Authentication Framework has a flexible configuration based on a concepts of applications and security handlers . There can be several applications defined and running at the same that are simply independent security zones of your web application. The security details of an application are specified using a security handler. There are several implementations provided and you're free to implement your own. Here is the SimpleSecurityHandler used that takes the hardcoded credentials: <?xml versio
