Field Details

QOP

protected static final String QOP

Tomcat's DIGEST implementation only supports auth quality of protection.

See Also:

• Constant Field Values

nonces

protected Map<String,DigestAuthenticator.NonceInfo> nonces

List of server nonce values currently being tracked

lastTimestamp

protected long lastTimestamp

The last timestamp used to generate a nonce. Each nonce should get a unique timestamp.

lastTimestampLock

protected final Object lastTimestampLock

nonceCacheSize

protected int nonceCacheSize

Maximum number of server nonces to keep in the cache. If not specified, the default value of 1000 is used.

nonceCountWindowSize

protected int nonceCountWindowSize

The window size to use to track seen nonce count values for a given nonce. If not specified, the default of 100 is used.

key

protected String key

Private key.

nonceValidity

protected long nonceValidity

How long server nonces are valid for in milliseconds. Defaults to 5 minutes.

opaque

protected String opaque

Opaque string.

validateUri

protected boolean validateUri

Should the URI be validated as required by RFC2617? Can be disabled in reverse proxies where the proxy has modified the URI.

doAuthenticate

protected boolean doAuthenticate(Request request,
 HttpServletResponse response)
                          throws 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:

doAuthenticate in class AuthenticatorBase

Parameters:

request - Request we are processing

response - Response we are creating

Returns:

true if the the user was authenticated, otherwise false, in which case an authentication challenge will have been written to the response

Throws:

IOException - if an input/output error occurs

getAuthMethod

protected String getAuthMethod()

Description copied from class: AuthenticatorBase

Return the authentication method, which is vendor-specific and not defined by HttpServletRequest.

Specified by:

getAuthMethod in class AuthenticatorBase

Returns:

the authentication method, which is vendor-specific and not defined by HttpServletRequest.

removeQuotes

@Deprecated
protected static String removeQuotes(String quotedString,
 boolean quotesRequired)

Deprecated.

This will be removed in Tomcat 11 onwards. Unused.

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

Parameters:

quotedString - The quoted string

quotesRequired - true if quotes were required

Returns:

The unquoted string

removeQuotes

@Deprecated
protected static String removeQuotes(String quotedString)

Deprecated.

This will be removed in Tomcat 11 onwards. Unused.

Removes the quotes on a string.

Parameters:

quotedString - The quoted string

Returns:

The unquoted string

generateNonce

protected String generateNonce(Request request)

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

Parameters:

request - HTTP Servlet request

Returns:

The generated nonce

setAuthenticateHeader

protected void setAuthenticateHeader(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response,
 String nonce,
 boolean isNonceStale)

Generates the WWW-Authenticate header(s) as per RFC 7616.

Parameters:

request - HTTP Servlet request

response - HTTP Servlet response

nonce - nonce token

isNonceStale - true to add a stale parameter

isPreemptiveAuthPossible

protected boolean isPreemptiveAuthPossible(Request request)

Description copied from class: AuthenticatorBase

Can the authenticator perform preemptive authentication for the given request?

Overrides:

isPreemptiveAuthPossible in class AuthenticatorBase

Parameters:

request - The request to check for credentials

Returns:

true if preemptive authentication is possible, otherwise false

startInternal

protected void startInternal()
                      throws LifecycleException

Description copied from class: ValveBase

Start this component and implement the requirements of LifecycleBase.startInternal().

Overrides:

startInternal in class AuthenticatorBase
