Bug #5136
closedValidatorConfig with more than one trust-anchor - Cannot create dynamic group, because group already exists
100%
Description
Environment: Ubuntu 18.04 amd64, ndn-cxx 0.7.1.
x.cpp
#include <ndn-cxx/face.hpp>
#include <ndn-cxx/security/validator-config.hpp>
int
main()
{
ndn::Face face;
ndn::security::ValidatorConfig validator(face);
validator.load("validator.info");
return 0;
}
validator.info
trust-anchor {
type file
file-name A.ndncert
}
trust-anchor {
type file
file-name B.ndncert
}
Note: having more than one trust-anchor is supposed to be supported, as evidenced by examples in ndn-cxx/docs/tutorials/security-validator-config.rst
and nfd.conf.sample
.
Steps:
ndnsec key-gen /A > A.ndncert
ndnsec key-gen /B > B.ndncert
g++ -std=c++14 -g -o x x.cpp $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libndn-cxx)
./x
Expected: no error
Actual: program crashes
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<ndn::security::v2::TrustAnchorContainer::Error> >'
what(): Cannot create dynamic group, because group validator.info already exists

This happens because we use the config filename for the groupId
(I guess this was unintentional; the variables are named filename
and file
). A patch I submitted changes this to use the certificate name instead, but this brings another problem - if two files refer to the same certificate, then it will throw. Maybe we should use a concatenation of the two filenames?
Also the dir
type suffers from the latter problem already.

I don't know what groupId
is, but if a unique identifier is needed, you can use a counter or a GUID.

For dir
we're using the directory of the certificate as given in the config file, but I think a better solution (separate issue) would be to use a canonical path to the dir/file with the cert (as Davide suggested).
I don't see the issue if a certificate is loaded twice though, so idk if it's a big deal.
