All Implemented Interfaces:
LoginModule

public class IdentityAssertionLoginModule extends Object implements LoginModule

Identity Assertion login module

A principal will be logged in if a trust is established. This login module considers trust to be established if the shared state contains a Map called com.ibm.wsspi.security.common.auth.module.IdentityAssertionLoginModule.state. The Map should contain the following variables:

  • com.ibm.wsspi.security.common.auth.module.IdentityAssertionLoginModule.trust set to true
  • com.ibm.wsspi.security.common.auth.module.IdentityAssertionLoginModule.principal containing a java.Security.Principal to hold the login identity.
  • OR com.ibm.wsspi.security.common.auth.module.IdentityAssertionLoginModule.certificates containing a java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] to hold the login identity.

If the Map is provided in the shared state then the identity will be logged in.

    • initialize

      public void initialize(Subject subject, CallbackHandler callbackHandler, Map sharedState, Map options)

      Initialize this login module.

      This is called by the LoginContext after this login module is instantiated. The relevant information is passed from the LoginContext to this login module. If the login module does not understands any of the data stored in the sharedState and options parameters, they can be ignored.

      Specified by:
      initialize in interface LoginModule
      Parameters:
      subject - The subject to be authenticated.
      callbackHandler - A CallbackHandler for communicating with the end user to gather login information (e.g., username and password).
      sharedState - The state shared with other configured login modules.
      options - The options specified in the login configuration for this particular login module.
    • login

      public boolean login() throws com.ibm.websphere.security.auth.WSLoginFailedException

      Method to authenticate a Subject (first phase).

      This method authenticates a Subject. It uses the Map stored in the shared state property com.ibm.wsspi.security.common.auth.module.IdentityAssertionLoginModule.state. The com.ibm.wsspi.security.common.auth.module.IdentityAssertionLoginModule.trusted key in the Map is used to determine trust. If true then trusted if false then it not trusted. When trust is established then the principal stored in either the com.ibm.wsspi.security.common.auth.module.IdentityAssertionLoginModule.principal or com.ibm.wsspi.security.common.auth.module.IdentityAssertionLoginModule.certificates key will contain the identity to login as.

      Specified by:
      login in interface LoginModule
      Returns:
      true if the authentication succeeded, or false if this login module should be ignored.
      Throws:
      com.ibm.websphere.security.auth.WSLoginFailedException - If the authentication fails.
    • commit

      public boolean commit() throws com.ibm.websphere.security.auth.WSLoginFailedException
      Commit the authentication (phase 2).

      If the login module authentication attempted in phase 1 succeeded, then relevant principals and credentials are associated with the subject. If the authentication attempted in phase 1 failed, then this method removes/destroys any state that was originally saved.

      Specified by:
      commit in interface LoginModule
      Returns:
      true if this LoginModule's own login and commit attempts succeeded, or false otherwise.
      Throws:
      com.ibm.websphere.security.auth.WSLoginFailedException - if the commit fails
    • abort

      public boolean abort() throws LoginException
      Abort the authentication (second phase).

      This method is called if the LoginContext's overall authentication failed.

      If this login module's authentication attempt succeeded, then this method cleans up the previous state saved in phase 1.

      Specified by:
      abort in interface LoginModule
      Returns:
      false if this LoginModule's own login and/or commit attempts failed, and true otherwise.
      Throws:
      LoginException - if the abort fails
    • logout

      public boolean logout() throws LoginException
      Logout the user

      The principals and credentials are removed from the Shared state.

      Specified by:
      logout in interface LoginModule
      Returns:
      true in all cases (this LoginModule should not be ignored).
      Throws:
      LoginException - if the logout fails
