WebID+TLS+Delegation ACL Testing

A basic WebID+TLS+Delegation connection can now be made as detailed below.

First the Public Key (PEM file) for the Virtuoso self-signed certificate created previously when performing the Virtuoso TLS Setup needs to be downloaded from the dba user account. In the Conductor, a download link for each available cryptographic key may be found in the System Admin -> User Accounts -> Users tab:

Once downloaded, the PEM file may be loaded into an Operating System Keystore such that it is automatically available when needed, or passed in the connect string as the server public key (-T parameter), to provide a full chain of trust for the connection. Note the public key (PEM file) for the YouID generated certificate (e.g., ca_list_shop_2016.pem) and the Virtuoso PEM file can be combined into a single PEM file, which may then be passed to Virtuoso as part of the TLS connect string.

The isql command line tool may be used to verify the WebID+TLS+Delegation connection, as shown below:

C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\Virtuoso 7.2\database>..\bin\isql 1113 "" 1 -X WebIDTlsDelegation_id_myopenlink_net.p12 -T ca_list_shop_2016.pem -W http://id.myopenlink.net/DAV/home/wtd/YouID/WebIDTlsDelegation_id_myopenlink_net/profile.ttl#wtd

isql can also be used to verify that connections using another user's WebID profile document (-W parameter) that has not been configured to allow the delegation of connections OnBehalfOf the Software agent, cannot execute SPARQL queries:

C:\Program Files\OpenLink Software\Virtuoso 7.2\database>..\bin\isql 1113 "" 1 -X WebIDTlsDelegation_id_myopenlink_net.p12 -T ca_list_shop_2016.pem -W http://kingsley.idehen.net/public_home/kidehen/profile.ttl#i

ODBC Connection

Tracing

The VAL Configuration UI, accessible through the Conductor menus and links "System Admin > Packages > VAL Configure", includes a tracing option to debug SQL client connections made using certificates.

When enabled, console trace output similar to that below shows the progress of the login and delegation.
