Field Detail

USE_ONCE

protected static final int USE_ONCE

Indicates that no once tokens are used only once.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

USE_NEVER_EXPIRES

protected static final int USE_NEVER_EXPIRES

Indicates that no once tokens are used only once.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

TIMEOUT_INFINITE

protected static final int TIMEOUT_INFINITE

Indicates that no once tokens are used only once.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

md5Encoder

protected static final MD5Encoder md5Encoder

The MD5 helper object for this class.

info

protected static final java.lang.String info

Descriptive information about this implementation.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

md5Helper

protected static java.security.MessageDigest md5Helper

MD5 message digest provider.

nOnceTokens

protected java.util.Hashtable nOnceTokens

No once hashtable.

nOnceTimeout

protected long nOnceTimeout

No once expiration (in millisecond). A shorter amount would mean a better security level (since the token is generated more often), but at the expense of a bigger server overhead.

nOnceUses

protected int nOnceUses

No once expiration after a specified number of uses. A lower number would produce more overhead, since a token would have to be generated more often, but would be more secure.

key

protected java.lang.String key

Private key.

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(HttpRequest request,
                            HttpResponse 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(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest 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(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest 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(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                     javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse 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
