Error when validating idToken behind a proxy #150

Description

@xbauquet

Environment

  • Operating System version: Debian 8.9
  • Firebase SDK version: 5.9.0
  • Library version: 5.9.0
  • Firebase Product: auth
  • Java: openjdk version "1.8.0_131"

The problem

I tried to use the firebase-admin-java to authenticate my user via Google.
Every time I was getting this error:
com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuthException: Error while verifying token signature.
The problem was the proxy. So I tried to set the proxy options like this:

InputStream serviceAccount = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(<fileName>);

Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(<address>, <port>));
HttpTransport httpTransport = new NetHttpTransport.Builder().setProxy(proxy).build();

HttpTransportFactory httpTransportFactory = () -> httpTransport;

FirebaseOptions options = new FirebaseOptions.Builder()
   .setCredentials(GoogleCredentials.fromStream(serviceAccount, httpTransportFactory))
   .setDatabaseUrl(<adress>)
   .setHttpTransport(httpTransport)
   .build();
FirebaseApp.initializeApp(options);
FirebaseToken decodedToken = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().verifyIdTokenAsync(<token>).get();

But I was still getting the same error.

Workaround

A work around that works is to define the proxy parameters as system properties:

System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", <address>);
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", <port>);
System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", <address>);
System.setProperty("https.proxyPort", <port>);

Bug in the code ?

It seems like the problem comes from this line in the code:
FirebaseTokenVerifier - line 52

public static final GooglePublicKeysManager DEFAULT_KEY_MANAGER =
      new GooglePublicKeysManager.Builder(new NetHttpTransport.Builder().build(), new GsonFactory())
          .setClock(Clock.SYSTEM)
          .setPublicCertsEncodedUrl(CLIENT_CERT_URL)
          .build();

The default GooglePublicKeysManager doesn't take the custom transport given in the FirebaseOptions.

PR

I opened a PR #151 with a fix for this issue.
