Class DigestProcessingFilterEntryPoint

java.lang.Object
  org.acegisecurity.ui.digestauth.DigestProcessingFilterEntryPoint

All Implemented Interfaces:

AuthenticationEntryPoint, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, org.springframework.core.Ordered

public class DigestProcessingFilterEntryPoint
extends Object
implements AuthenticationEntryPoint, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, org.springframework.core.Ordered

Used by the SecurityEnforcementFilter to commence authentication via the DigestProcessingFilter.

The nonce sent back to the user agent will be valid for the period indicated by setNonceValiditySeconds(int). By default this is 300 seconds. Shorter times should be used if replay attacks are a major concern. Larger values can be used if performance is a greater concern. This class correctly presents the stale=true header when the nonce has expierd, so properly implemented user agents will automatically renegotiate with a new nonce value (ie without presenting a new password dialog box to the user).

commence

public void commence(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                     javax.servlet.ServletResponse response,
                     AuthenticationException authException)

                     javax.servlet.ServletException

Description copied from interface: AuthenticationEntryPoint

Commences an authentication scheme.

SecurityEnforcementFilter will populate the HttpSession attribute named AuthenticationProcessingFilter.ACEGI_SECURITY_TARGET_URL_KEY with the requested target URL before calling this method.

Implementations should modify the headers on the ServletResponse as necessary to commence the authentication process.

Specified by:

commence in interface AuthenticationEntryPoint

Parameters:

request - that resulted in an AuthenticationException

response - so that the user agent can begin authentication

authException - that caused the invocation

Throws:

IOException - DOCUMENT ME!

javax.servlet.ServletException - DOCUMENT ME!
