Juan, Those log lines are generated on line 114 in this file https://github.com/apereo/cas/blob/c4c45442a5abef69c05fdb5fc94c88068241d8df/support/cas-server-support-saml-idp-core/src/main/java/org/apereo/cas/support/saml/idp/metadata/generator/FileSystemSamlIdPMetadataGenerator.java
Not sure why certs are being recreated; could be something higher up the call stack or a config setting. That class makes use of a registered service. I too run cas in docker on my local. My docker-compose.yml mounts my local files; cas does not recreate them. I run version 7.0. I wonder if something changed between the versions. You can add this logger to get more details: <Logger name="org.apereo.cas.support.saml" level="trace"> abstract class AbstractSamlIdPMetadataLocator has a number of trace logging lines that could help.

Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> Thanks for answering, with your help I've been able to pinpoint the exact cause of my issues with Liferay. BUT copying the keys prior to start CAS is not working, you see, I'm developing using Docker containers, and before starting the image I copy a lot of files, including the keys, and I've found these messages in CAS log (most relevant in yellow). The main reason is that the testing environment is a Docker container. It's CAS 6.6. -------8<------ [org.apereo.cas.support.saml.idp.metadata.generator.BaseSamlIdPMetadataGenerator] - <Preparing to generate metadata for entity id [ENTITY]> 2024-10-10 16:14:52 2024-10-10 10:14:52,315 INFO [org.apereo.cas.support.saml.idp.metadata.generator.BaseSamlIdPMetadataGenerator] - <Creating self-signed certificate for signing...> 2024-10-10 16:14:52 2024-10-10 10:14:52,316 INFO [org.apereo.cas.support.saml.idp.metadata.generator.FileSystemSamlIdPMetadataGenerator] -<Certificate file [/etc/cas/saml/idp-signing.crt] already exists, and will be deleted> 2024-10-10 16:14:52 2024-10-10 10:14:52,422 INFO [org.apereo.cas.support.saml.idp.metadata.generator.FileSystemSamlIdPMetadataGenerator] -<Key file [/etc/cas/saml/idp-signing.key] already exists, and will be deleted> 2024-10-10 16:14:54 2024-10-10 10:14:54,032 INFO [org.apereo.cas.support.saml.idp.metadata.generator.BaseSamlIdPMetadataGenerator] - <Creating self-signed certificate for encryption...> 2024-10-10 16:14:54 2024-10-10 10:14:54,033 INFO [org.apereo.cas.support.saml.idp.metadata.generator.FileSystemSamlIdPMetadataGenerator] -<Certificate file [/etc/cas/saml/idp-encryption.crt] already exists, and will be deleted> 2024-10-10 16:14:54 2024-10-10 10:14:54,033 INFO [org.apereo.cas.support.saml.idp.metadata.generator.FileSystemSamlIdPMetadataGenerator] -<Key file [/etc/cas/saml/idp-encryption.key] already exists, and will be deleted> ------->8------ So, every time the container starts, because at 1800 it's stopped every day, even when the keys are copied to the image prior to start CAS, they are deleted and re-created by CAS. Confirmed when inspecting the files in the container. And the prior idp-metadata imported by Liferay is not valid anymore. Until re-imported. Is there a property to override this behaviour? So far, the workaround is re-creating the idp-metadata using CAS endpoint "/idp/metadata", and re-importing it in Liferay, it takes no longer than 2 minutes, but the client is worried that in the production environment, where is known that docker container restart with no reason, this can be troublesome. Thanks again. On Thursday, October 10, 2024 at 10:01:59 AM UTC-6 Ray Bon wrote: Juan, Cas will create IdP metadata and certificates if they do not exist (save them for future deploys). For your dev setup, you will have to add them to the directory before cas starts; either COPY into your container image or mount the volume when the container starts. If you use a traditional deployment (jenkins etc) let the tool install them.

I know that in a production environment this won't be an issue, but right now it is. Is there a way to prevent these files to recreating everytime my CAS container is restarted? Thanks in advance.

Liferay will create SP metadata with encryption certificate (and maybe signing too); you will create IdP metadata (cas will do this if it does not exist) with signing and encryption certificates. You point cas config at the certificates that you (or cas) created. Liferay SP certificates should be different from your IdP certificates.

In Liferay were created the certificates and imported in the idp-metadata file which was sent back to Liferay and imported. Everything runs fine, BUT after entering the credentials in CAS, this error (or similar) appears in Liferay logs: 2024-10-04 21:51:11.830 DEBUG [http-nio-0.0.0.0-9444-exec-4][ApacheSantuarioSignatureValidationProviderImpl:65] Validating signature with signature algorithm URI:http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-sha256 2024-10-04 21:51:11.830 DEBUG [http-nio-0.0.0.0-9444-exec-4][ApacheSantuarioSignatureValidationProviderImpl:66] Validation credential key algorithm 'RSA', key instance class 'sun.security.rsa.RSAPublicKeyImpl' 2024-10-04 21:51:11.831 WARN [http-nio-0.0.0.0-9444-exec-4][XMLSignature:891] Signature verification failed. 2024-10-04 21:51:11.831 DEBUG [http-nio-0.0.0.0-9444-exec-4][ApacheSantuarioSignatureValidationProviderImpl:78] Signature cryptographic validation not successful 2024-10-04 21:51:11.831 DEBUG [http-nio-0.0.0.0-9444-exec-4][BaseSignatureTrustEngine:244] Signature validation using candidate validation credential failed org.opensaml.xmlsec.signature.support.SignatureException: Signature cryptographic validation not successful ..... 2024-10-04 21:51:11.832 DEBUG [http-nio-0.0.0.0-9444-exec-4][ExplicitKeySignatureTrustEngine:124] Failed to verify signature using either KeyInfo-derived or directly trusted credentials 2024-10-04 21:51:11.833 DEBUG [http-nio-0.0.0.0-9444-exec-4][SAMLProtocolMessageXMLSignatureSecurityHandler:142] Message Handler: Validation of protocol message signature failed for context issuer 'ENTITY_ID', message type: {urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol}Response 2024-10-04 21:51:11.833 DEBUG [http-nio-0.0.0.0-9444-exec-4][WebSsoProfileImpl:210] Validation of protocol message signature failed ..... According to the Liferay admin, the main issue may come from CAS, because is not using the right key to generate the values in the SAML Response. Other reason may be encryption or signature. I have tried both encryption and signature options in service.json file, but no avail, the errors are th same. How can I verify this suspicions of Liferay admin? how can I force CAS to use a certain private key to generate the data in SAML response?
