Method Detail

create

public static AuthzCredentialGenerator create(AuthzCredentialGenerator.ClassCode classCode)

A factory method to create a new instance of an AuthzCredentialGenerator for the given AuthzCredentialGenerator.ClassCode. Caller is supposed to invoke init(security.CredentialGenerator) immediately after obtaining the instance.

Parameters:

classCode - the ClassCode of the AuthzCredentialGenerator implementation

Returns:

an instance of AuthzCredentialGenerator for the given class code

init

public boolean init(CredentialGenerator cGen)

Initialize the authorized credential generator.

Parameters:

cGen - an instance of CredentialGenerator of the credential implementation for which to obtain authorized/unauthorized credentials.

Returns:

false when the given CredentialGenerator is incompatible with this authorization module.

getSystemProperties

public Properties getSystemProperties()

Returns:

A set of extra properties that should be added to Gemfire system properties when not null.

getCredentialGenerator

public CredentialGenerator getCredentialGenerator()

Get the CredentialGenerator being used by this instance.

classCode

public abstract AuthzCredentialGenerator.ClassCode classCode()

The AuthzCredentialGenerator.ClassCode of the particular implementation.

Returns:

the ClassCode

getAuthorizationCallback

public abstract String getAuthorizationCallback()

The name of the AccessControl factory function that should be used as the authorization module on the server side.

Returns:

name of the AccessControl factory function

getAllowedCredentials

public Properties getAllowedCredentials(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.operations.OperationContext.OperationCode[] opCodes,
                               String[] regionNames,
                               int index)

Get a set of credentials generated using the given index allowed to perform the given OperationContext.OperationCodes for the given regions.

Parameters:

opCodes - the list of OperationContext.OperationCodes of the operations requiring authorization; should not be null

regionNames - list of the region names requiring authorization; a value of null indicates all regions

index - used to generate multiple such credentials by passing different values for this

Returns:

the set of credentials authorized to perform the given operation in the given regions

getDisallowedCredentials

public Properties getDisallowedCredentials(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.operations.OperationContext.OperationCode[] opCodes,
                                  String[] regionNames,
                                  int index)

Get a set of credentials generated using the given index not allowed to perform the given OperationContext.OperationCodes for the given regions. The credentials are required to be valid for authentication.

Parameters:

opCode - the OperationContext.OperationCodes of the operations requiring authorization failure; should not be null

regionNames - list of the region names requiring authorization failure; a value of null indicates all regions

index - used to generate multiple such credentials by passing different values for this

Returns:

the set of credentials that are not authorized to perform the given operation in the given region

init

protected abstract Properties init()
                            throws IllegalArgumentException

Initialize the authorized credential generator. Required to be implemented by concrete classes that implement this abstract class.

Returns:

A set of extra properties that should be added to Gemfire system properties when not null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - when the CredentialGenerator is incompatible with this authorization module.

getNumPrincipalTries

protected abstract int getNumPrincipalTries(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.operations.OperationContext.OperationCode[] opCodes,
                       String[] regionNames)

Get the number of tries to be done for obtaining valid credentials for the given operations in the given region. It is required that getAllowedPrincipal(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.operations.OperationContext.OperationCode[], java.lang.String[], int) method returns valid principals for values of index from 0 through (n-1) where n is the value returned by this method. It is recommended that the principals so returned be unique for efficiency. This will be used by getAllowedCredentials(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.operations.OperationContext.OperationCode[], java.lang.String[], int) to step through different principals and obtain a set of valid credentials. Required to be implemented by concrete classes that implement this abstract class.

Parameters:

opCodes - the OperationContext.OperationCodes of the operations requiring authorization

regionNames - list of the region names requiring authorization; a value of null indicates all regions

index - used to generate multiple such credentials by passing different values for this

Returns:

the number of principals allowed to perform the given operation in the given region

getAllowedPrincipal

protected abstract Principal getAllowedPrincipal(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.operations.OperationContext.OperationCode[] opCodes,
                            String[] regionNames,
                            int index)

Get a Principal generated using the given index allowed to perform the given OperationContext.OperationCodes for the given region. Required to be implemented by concrete classes that implement this abstract class.

Parameters:

opCodes - the OperationContext.OperationCodes of the operations requiring authorization

regionNames - list of the region names requiring authorization; a value of null indicates all regions

index - used to generate multiple such principals by passing different values for this

Returns:

the Principal authorized to perform the given operation in the given region

getDisallowedPrincipal

protected abstract Principal getDisallowedPrincipal(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.operations.OperationContext.OperationCode[] opCodes,
                               String[] regionNames,
                               int index)

Get a Principal generated using the given index not allowed to perform the given OperationContext.OperationCodes for the given region. Required to be implemented by concrete classes that implement this abstract class.

Parameters:

opCodes - the OperationContext.OperationCodes of the operations requiring authorization failure

regionNames - list of the region names requiring authorization failure; a value of null indicates all regions

index - used to generate multiple such principals by passing different values for this

Returns:

a Principal not authorized to perform the given operation in the given region
