Method Detail

initialize

public final void initialize(Subject subject,
                             CallbackHandler callbackHandler,
                             Map<String,?> sharedState,
                             Map<String,?> options)

Specified by:

initialize in interface LoginModule

login

public final boolean login()
                    throws LoginException

Specified by:

login in interface LoginModule

Throws:

LoginException

commit

public final boolean commit()
                     throws LoginException

Specified by:

commit in interface LoginModule

Throws:

LoginException

abort

public final boolean abort()
                    throws LoginException

Specified by:

abort in interface LoginModule

Throws:

LoginException

logout

public final boolean logout()
                     throws LoginException

Specified by:

logout in interface LoginModule

Throws:

LoginException

commitUserAuthentication

protected final void commitUserAuthentication(String[] groups)

This is a convenience method which can be used by subclasses

Note that this method is called after the authentication has succeeded. If authentication failed do not call this method. This method sets the authentication status to success if the groups parameter is non-null.

Parameters:

groups - String array of group memberships for user (could be empty).

authenticateUser

protected abstract void authenticateUser()
                                  throws LoginException

Perform authentication decision. Method returns silently on success and returns a LoginException on failure.

Must be overridden to add custom functionality.

Throws:

LoginException - on authentication failure.

getAppName

protected final String getAppName()

Get the application name.

This may be useful when a single LoginModule has to handle multiple applications that use certificates.

Returns:

the application name. Non-null only for web container.

getCerts

protected X509Certificate[] getCerts()

Get the certificate chain presented by the client.

Returns:

the certificate chain from the client.

getX500Principal

protected X500Principal getX500Principal()

Returns the subject (subject distinguished name) value from the first certificate, in the client certificate chain, as an X500Principal. If the subject value is empty, then the getName() method of the returned X500Principal object returns an empty string ("").

Returns:

an X500Principal representing the subject distinguished name from thr first certificate, in the client certificate chain;

getSubject

protected Subject getSubject()

Return the subject being authenticated.

Returns:

the subject being authenticated.
