Class LockOutRealm

All Implemented Interfaces:
MBeanRegistration, Contained, JmxEnabled, Lifecycle, Realm

public class LockOutRealm extends CombinedRealm
This class extends the CombinedRealm (hence it can wrap other Realms) to provide a user lock out mechanism if there are too many failed authentication attempts in a given period of time. To ensure correct operation, there is a reasonable degree of synchronisation in this Realm. This Realm does not require modification to the underlying Realms or the associated user storage mechanisms. It achieves this by recording all failed logins, including those for users that do not exist. To prevent a DOS by deliberating making requests with invalid users (and hence causing this cache to grow) the size of the list of users that have failed authentication is limited.
  • Field Details

    • failureCount

      protected int failureCount
      The number of times in a row a user has to fail authentication to be locked out. Defaults to 5.
    • lockOutTime

      protected int lockOutTime
      The time (in seconds) a user is locked out for after too many authentication failures. Defaults to 300 (5 minutes).
    • cacheSize

      protected int cacheSize
      Number of users that have failed authentication to keep in cache. Over time the cache will grow to this size and may not shrink. Defaults to 1000.
    • cacheRemovalWarningTime

      protected int cacheRemovalWarningTime
      If a failed user is removed from the cache because the cache is too big before it has been in the cache for at least this period of time (in seconds) a warning message will be logged. Defaults to 3600 (1 hour).
    • failedUsers

      protected Map<String,LockOutRealm.LockRecord> failedUsers
      Users whose last authentication attempt failed. Entries will be ordered in access order from least recent to most recent.

  • Method Details

    • startInternal

      protected void startInternal() throws LifecycleException
      Description copied from class: RealmBase
      Prepare for the beginning of active use of the public methods of this component and implement the requirements of LifecycleBase.startInternal().
      Overrides:
      startInternal in class CombinedRealm
      Throws:
      LifecycleException - if this component detects a fatal error that prevents this component from being used
    • authenticate

      public Principal authenticate(String username, String clientDigest, String nonce, String nc, String cnonce, String qop, String realmName, String digestA2, String algorithm)
      Description copied from interface: Realm
      Try to authenticate with the specified username, which matches the digest calculated using the given parameters using the method described in RFC 7616.

      The default implementation calls Realm.authenticate(String, String, String, String, String, String, String, String) for backwards compatibility which effectively forces the use of MD5 regardless of the algorithm specified in the call to this method.

      Implementations are expected to override the default implementation and take account of the algorithm parameter.

      Specified by:
      authenticate in interface Realm
      Overrides:
      authenticate in class CombinedRealm
      Parameters:
      username - Username of the Principal to look up
      clientDigest - Digest which has been submitted by the client
      nonce - Unique (or supposedly unique) token which has been used for this request
      nc - the nonce counter
      cnonce - the client chosen nonce
      qop - the "quality of protection" (nc and cnonce will only be used, if qop is not null).
      realmName - Realm name
      digestA2 - Second digest calculated as digest(Method + ":" + uri)
      algorithm - The message digest algorithm to use
      Returns:
      the associated principal, or null if there is none.
