Interface CredentialVaultService

All Superinterfaces:

org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.service.PortletService

Deprecated. since 6.0. Support of the IBM portlet API may be removed in a future release of WebSphere Portal. Use of the Java Portlet API (javax.portlet) is recommended instead.

public interface CredentialVaultService
extends org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.service.PortletService

Portlet Service for legacy portlets to access the WebSphere Portal Credential Vault. The portlet service offers the following functionality:

• Management of Credential Vault Slots. Credential Vault Segments can be retrieved, and Vault Slots can be created and deleted.
• Management of Credential Secrets. The service allows to set or retrieve credentials from the credential vault.

Available Secret Types in the Credential Vault are definied as constants in this interface. Please note that not all types have to be available in the defined Vault Segments, depending on the utilized Vault Adapter implementation. Supported types per segment can be retrieved through VaultSegmentConfig#getSupportedSecretTypes().

Available Credential Types in the Credential Vault are defined externally in a credential type registry configuration file and can be retrieved through the method getCredentialTypes()that returns their respective type string. Default credential type strings are defined as constants in the interface CredentialTypes.

Since:

4.1

Parameters:

resourceName - Name of the resource. Must not be null.

segmentId - ObjectId of the segment that this slot is created in. Must not be null. Must be the ObjectID of a user mapped segment. As there is currently just one user mapped segment in the system, this parameter must contain the result of the method getDefaultUserVaultSegmentPortalId()!

descriptions - The slot descriptions as a Map, keyed by their corresponding Locale objects Key: Locale (max length 64 characters) Value: String (max length 255 characters) The given map can be empty.

keywords - The slot keywords as a Map, keyed by their corresponding Locale objects Key: Locale (max length 64 characters). Can be null. Value: String (max length 255 characters) The given map can be empty.

secretType - The secrtet type identifier. Must not be null.

active - Flag whether this credential may only be returned in form of an active credential object (true) or both as active and passive credential objects (false)

portletPrivate - Flag whether the credential secret is portlet secific (true) or shared between all of a user's portlets (false).

portletRequest - The portlet request. Must not be null.

Returns:

CredentialSlot The credential slot configuration as CredentialSlotConfig object.

Throws:

org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.service.PortletServiceException

Throws:

org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.service.PortletServiceException - Is thrown if the user segment could not be found.

This parameter can be null.

request - The portlet request is used to determine information about the portlet.

Returns:

request - The portlet request is used to determine information about the portlet.

Returns:

The retrieved credential object. The Credential Type is Ltpa.

Throws:

com.ibm.wps.services.credentialvault.exceptions.VaultServiceException - if the credential could not been retrieved - either for technical or secuity reasons.
