Proposed changes in this pull request

IdentityKeyStoreGeneratorImpl creates tenant context keystores with a hardcoded RSA-2048 key. An example is the cookie keystore that adaptive script setCookie / getCookie use to sign and validate cookies. Some deployments may need to use keys with different sizes.

This PR makes the key algorithm and key size configurable for newly created context keystores. It uses the same configuration and validation as tenant keystores.

Related issue: wso2/product-is#28544
Depends on: wso2/carbon-kernel#4643 (KeystoreUtils.getTenantKeyAlgorithm() and getTenantKeySize())
Related: wso2/carbon-multitenancy#331

Changes

  • generateKeyStore(tenantDomain, context) reads the key algorithm and key size from KeystoreUtils ([keystore.tenant] key_algorithm and key_size).
    • It reads them only when a new keystore must be created, after the existence check. So an invalid value does not affect context keystores that already exist.
    • An invalid value fails with KeyStoreManagementException that carries the validation message, and no keystore is persisted.
  • This applies to every tenant, including the super tenant (for example carbon-super--cookie).

The certificate signature algorithm (Tenant.SigningAlgorithm) and its fallback are not changed.

Configuration:

[keystore.tenant]
key_algorithm = "RSA"   # optional, default RSA. Only RSA is supported.
key_size = 3072         # optional, default 2048. A multiple of 1024 between 2048 and 8192.

Backward compatibility

  • Default behavior is unchanged: RSA-2048. The setting applies only to context keystores created after it is set. Existing context keystores keep their current key.
  • An invalid key configuration fails context keystore generation. It does not fall back to a smaller key. For the cookie keystore, this happens when the keystore is first generated during a login whose adaptive script signs a cookie. The cookie functions log the error and do not set the signed cookie.

Developer Checklist (Mandatory)

  • Complete the Developer Checklist in the related product-is issue to track any behavioral change or migration impact.

Checklist (for reviewing)

General

  • Is this PR explained thoroughly? All code changes must be accounted for in the PR description.
  • Is the PR labeled correctly?

Functionality

  • Are all requirements met? Compare implemented functionality with the requirements specification.
  • Does the UI work as expected? There should be no Javascript errors in the console; all resources should load. There should be no unexpected errors. Deliberately try to break the feature to find out if there are corner cases that are not handled.

Code

  • Do you fully understand the introduced changes to the code? If not ask for clarification, it might uncover ways to solve a problem in a more elegant and efficient way.
  • Does the PR introduce any inefficient database requests? Use the debug server to check for duplicate requests.
  • Are all necessary strings marked for translation? All strings that are exposed to users via the UI must be marked for translation.

Tests

  • Are there sufficient test cases? Ensure that all components are tested individually; models, forms, and serializers should be tested in isolation even if a test for a view covers these components.
  • If this is a bug fix, are tests for the issue in place? There must be a test case for the bug to ensure the issue won’t regress. Make sure that the tests break without the new code to fix the issue.
  • If this is a new feature or a significant change to an existing feature? has the manual testing spreadsheet been updated with instructions for manual testing?

Security

  • Confirm this PR doesn't commit any keys, passwords, tokens, usernames, or other secrets.
  • Are all UI and API inputs run through forms or serializers?
  • Are all external inputs validated and sanitized appropriately?
  • Does all branching logic have a default case?
  • Does this solution handle outliers and edge cases gracefully?
  • Are all external communications secured and restricted to SSL?

Documentation

  • Are changes to the UI documented in the platform docs? If this PR introduces new platform site functionality or changes existing ones, the changes should be documented.
  • Are changes to the API documented in the API docs? If this PR introduces new API functionality or changes existing ones, the changes must be documented.
  • Are reusable components documented? If this PR introduces components that are relevant to other developers (for instance a mixin for a view or a generic form) they should be documented in the Wiki.

…able

The context keystore key pair was always generated as RSA-2048. Read the key
algorithm and key size from [keystore.tenant] key_algorithm and key_size
through the shared KeystoreUtils getters in carbon-kernel. The default stays
RSA-2048, and the setting applies only to keystores created after it is set.

An invalid value fails the keystore generation with the validation message,
before any keystore is created. It never falls back to a smaller key.

Add tests that generate a real context keystore in memory and check the key
size, the validation of invalid key configuration, the certificate signature
algorithm and the self-signed certificate.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Context keystore generation now uses the tenant key algorithm and size from configuration instead of fixed RSA-2048 settings. Configuration errors are wrapped in KeyStoreManagementException. Tests cover configured key sizes, invalid settings, signature algorithm selection, and generated certificate properties.

generateKeyStore resolves and passes the configured tenant key algorithm and size to key-pair generation. Tests cover default and configured key sizes, invalid configuration failing before persistence, signature algorithm selection and fallback, and certificate properties.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d3335

Keystore generation has no established functional failure, but the license headers and successful-generation logging need correction. These are bounded issues rather than a material obstacle to merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to d3335

Existing keystores retain their keys, and configuration is resolved before new key material is generated or submitted for persistence. No introduced security weakness was established. However, the deployed dependency must provide the expected validation and compatible methods; that runtime contract could not be verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The shared generator applies the configured policy to new context stores for any tenant passed to the service, including the super-tenant cookie case covered by tests. This is broader than one tenant's store, but the deployed adaptive-cookie caller and downstream signing behavior were not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — The inspected method and tests place algorithm and size in server configuration rather than new public-method arguments. Validation is delegated to KeystoreUtils; the tests specify rejecting RSA-1024 and unsupported algorithms before persistence. The absent external implementation prevents independently confirming that enforcement in deployment.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The existing concurrent-creation path ignores an already-available error from addKeyStore rather than replacing the winning store. Generation and serialization failures occur before persistence submission. These preserve the caller-side lifecycle, but backend atomicity under interruption and cross-process concurrency remains unverified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before rollout, verify the resolved Carbon Kernel exports both getters with the intended validation and exception contract. If older accepted exports lack them, align the dependency and minimum package import version with the required implementation.

Log successful context-keystore persistence.

When no keystore exists, generateKeyStore can generate the key pair and persist the keystore without an INFO completion log. Add the log only after keyStoreManager.addKeyStore succeeds. The existing already-available branch logs a warning and returns without adding the keystore.

🐛 Suggested fix
             keyStoreManager.addKeyStore(outputStream.toByteArray(), keyStoreName,
                     passwordChar, " ", KeystoreUtils.getKeyStoreFileType(tenantDomain), passwordChar);
+            LOG.info("Generated and persisted context keystore: " + keyStoreName);
