NamingAuthzCommands (AdminTask)

We can use the Jython scripting language to configure naming roles for groups and users with wsadmin.sh. Use commands in the NamingAuthzCommands group to assign, remove, and query naming role configuration. CosNaming security offers increased granularity of security control over CosNaming functions.

A number of naming roles are defined to provide the degrees of authority that are needed to perform certain application server naming service functions. The authorization policy is only enforced when global security is enabled.

Use the following commands to manage the naming service functions:

• listGroupsForNamingRoles

• listUsersForNamingRoles

• mapGroupsToNamingRole

• mapUsersToNamingRole

• removeGroupsFromNamingRole

• removeUsersFromNamingRole

listGroupsForNamingRoles

The listGroupsForNamingRoles command displays the groups and special subjects mapped to the naming roles.

Target object: None.

Return value

The command returns a list of the groups and special subjects associated with each naming role.

Batch mode example

• Jython:
  AdminTask.listGroupsForNamingRoles()

Interactive mode

• Jython:
  AdminTask.listGroupsForNamingRoles('-interactive')

listUsersForNamingRoles

The listUsersForNamingRoles command displays the users mapped to the naming roles.

Target object: None.

Return value

The command returns a list of the users associated with each naming role.

Batch mode example

• Jython:
  AdminTask.listUsersForNamingRoles()

Interactive mode

• Jython:
  AdminTask.listUsersForNamingRoles('-interactive')

mapGroupsToNamingRole

The mapGroupsToNamingRole command maps groups, special subjects, or groups and special subjects to the naming roles.

Target object: None.

Required parameters

-roleName

Name of the naming role. (String)

space security roles are available: CosNamingRead, CosNamingWrite, CosNamingCreate, and CosNamingDelete. The roles have authority levels from

Role name	Description
CosNamingRead	We can query the application server name space using, for example, the JNDI lookup method. The EVERYONE special-subject is the default policy for this role.
CosNamingWrite	We can perform write operations such as JNDI bind, rebind, or unbind, and CosNamingRead operations.
CosNamingCreate	We can create new objects in the name space through operations such as JNDI createSubcontext and CosNamingWrite operations.
CosNamingDelete	We can destroy objects in the name space, for example using the JNDI destroySubcontext method and CosNamingCreate operations.

Optional parameters

-groupids

Names of the groups to map to the naming roles. (String[])

-accessids

Access IDs of the users in the format <group:realmName/uniqueID>. (String[])

-specialSubjects

Special subjects to map. (String[])

include EVERYONE, ALLAUTHENTICATED, ALLAUTHENTICATEDINTRUSTEDREALMS,

Header	Header
EVERYONE	Maps everyone to a specified role. When you map everyone to a role, anyone can access the resources that are protected by this role and, essentially, there is no security.
ALLAUTHENTICATED	Maps each authenticated user to a specified role. When you map each authenticated user to a specified role, each valid user in the current registry who has been authenticated can access resources that are protected by this role.
ALLAUTHENTICATEDINTRUSTEDREALMS	Maps each authenticated user to a specified role. When you map each authenticated user to a specified role, each valid user in the current registry who has been authenticated can access resources that are protected by this role in the trusted realm.

Return value

The command does not return output.

Batch mode example

• Jython string...
  AdminTask.mapGroupsToNamingRole('[-roleName CosNamingCreate -groupids [group1, group2]]')

• Jython list:
  AdminTask.mapGroupsToNamingRole(['-roleName', 'CosNamingCreate', '-groupids', '[group1, group2]'])

Interactive mode

• Jython:
  AdminTask.mapGroupsToNamingRole('-interactive')

mapUsersToNamingRole

The mapUsersToNamingRole command maps users to the naming roles.

Target object: None.

Required parameters

-roleName

Name of the naming role. (String)

space security roles are available: CosNamingRead, CosNamingWrite, CosNamingCreate, and CosNamingDelete. The roles have authority levels from

Role name	Description
CosNamingRead	We can query the application server name space using, for example, the JNDI lookup method. The EVERYONE special-subject is the default policy for this role.
CosNamingWrite	We can perform write operations such as JNDI bind, rebind, or unbind, and CosNamingRead operations.
CosNamingCreate	We can create new objects in the name space through operations such as JNDI createSubcontext and CosNamingWrite operations.
CosNamingDelete	We can destroy objects in the name space, for example using the JNDI destroySubcontext method and CosNamingCreate operations.

Optional parameters

-userids

User IDs to map to the naming roles of interest. (String[])

-accessids

Access IDs of the users in the format <user:realmName/uniqueID>. (String[])

Return value

The command does not return output.

Batch mode example

• Jython string...
  AdminTask.mapUsersToNamingRole([-roleName CosNamingDelete -userids [user1, user2, user3]]')

• Jython list:
  AdminTask.mapUsersToNamingRole(['-roleName', 'CosNamingDelete', '-userids', '[user1, user2, user3]'])

Interactive mode

• Jython:
  AdminTask.mapUsersToNamingRole('-interactive']

removeGroupsFromNamingRole

The removeGroupsFromNamingRole command removes groups, special subjects, or groups and special subjects from a naming role.

Target object: None.
