Constructor Detail

DigestAuthenticator

public DigestAuthenticator()

Method Detail

getInfo

public java.lang.String getInfo()

Return descriptive information about this Valve implementation.

Specified by:

getInfo in interface Valve

Overrides:

getInfo in class AuthenticatorBase

authenticate

public boolean authenticate(Request request,
                   Response response,
                   LoginConfig config)
                     throws java.io.IOException

Authenticate the user making this request, based on the specified login configuration. Return true if any specified constraint has been satisfied, or false if we have created a response challenge already.

Specified by:

authenticate in class AuthenticatorBase

Parameters:

request - Request we are processing

response - Response we are creating

config - Login configuration describing how authentication should be performed

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an input/output error occurs

findPrincipal

protected static java.security.Principal findPrincipal(Request request,
                                    java.lang.String authorization,
                                    Realm realm)

Parse the specified authorization credentials, and return the associated Principal that these credentials authenticate (if any) from the specified Realm. If there is no such Principal, return null.

Parameters:

request - HTTP servlet request

authorization - Authorization credentials from this request

realm - Realm used to authenticate Principals

parseUsername

protected java.lang.String parseUsername(java.lang.String authorization)

Parse the username from the specified authorization string. If none can be identified, return null

Parameters:

authorization - Authorization string to be parsed

removeQuotes

protected static java.lang.String removeQuotes(java.lang.String quotedString,
                            boolean quotesRequired)

Removes the quotes on a string. RFC2617 states quotes are optional for all parameters except realm.

removeQuotes

protected static java.lang.String removeQuotes(java.lang.String quotedString)

Removes the quotes on a string.

generateNOnce

protected java.lang.String generateNOnce(Request request)

Generate a unique token. The token is generated according to the following pattern. NOnceToken = Base64 ( MD5 ( client-IP ":" time-stamp ":" private-key ) ).

Parameters:

request - HTTP Servlet request

setAuthenticateHeader

protected void setAuthenticateHeader(Request request,
                         Response response,
                         LoginConfig config,
                         java.lang.String nOnce)

Generates the WWW-Authenticate header.

The header MUST follow this template :

      WWW-Authenticate    = "WWW-Authenticate" ":" "Digest"
                            digest-challenge

      digest-challenge    = 1#( realm | [ domain ] | nOnce |
                  [ digest-opaque ] |[ stale ] | [ algorithm ] )

      realm               = "realm" "=" realm-value
      realm-value         = quoted-string
      domain              = "domain" "=" <"> 1#URI <">
      nonce               = "nonce" "=" nonce-value
      nonce-value         = quoted-string
      opaque              = "opaque" "=" quoted-string
      stale               = "stale" "=" ( "true" | "false" )
      algorithm           = "algorithm" "=" ( "MD5" | token )
 

Parameters:

request - HTTP Servlet request

response - HTTP Servlet response

config - Login configuration describing how authentication should be performed

nOnce - nonce token
