      Description

      Hello,

      I'm working in a INCENSe project where the aim is to run Big Data analysis on a set of customer data. The data should be handled in a protected manner. As far as I've understood, the httpfs server on cosmos.lab.fiware.org:14000 supports OAuth2 authentication, so so far things look good. However, there's an issue with the SSL certificate for the Cosmos Tokens Generator on cosmos.lab.fiware.org:13000. The server uses a self-signed certificate, making it impossible to verify the server's identity. Is this really true? If there's no way to verify the OAuth2 server's identity, the authentication is open to man-in-the-middle-attack, and thus not suitable for secure data.

      Second question: does the https server on cosmos.lab.fiware.org:14000 support https transport?

      Regards,
      Kimmo Surakka

        Hi Kimmo,

        Yes, the certificate for the Cosmos Token Generator server is self-signed.
        I¹m aware it should be signed by some CA, nevertheless, AFAIK, there is no
        CA at FIWARE Lab. Anyway, such a server is just a wrapper for the Identity
        Manager, the ³official² endpoint for OAuth2 stuff.

        Regarding https in the WebHDFS/HttpFS interface, it could be enabled, but
        the problem would be the same: the certificate for this interface would be
        self-signed as well.

        In any case, I¹ll ask Identity Manager people.

        Regards,
        Francisco
