Constructor Detail

SingleSignOn

public SingleSignOn()
Method Detail

getCookieDomain

public java.lang.String getCookieDomain()
Returns the optional cookie domain. May return null.

Returns:
The cookie domain

setCookieDomain

public void setCookieDomain(java.lang.String cookieDomain)
Sets the domain to be used for sso cookies.

Parameters:
cookieDomain - cookie domain name

getRequireReauthentication

public boolean getRequireReauthentication()
Gets whether each request needs to be reauthenticated (by an Authenticator downstream in the pipeline) to the security Realm, or if this Valve can itself bind security info to the request based on the presence of a valid SSO entry without rechecking with the Realm
Returns:
true if it is required that a downstream Authenticator reauthenticate each request before calls to HttpServletRequest.setUserPrincipal() and HttpServletRequest.setAuthType() are made; false if the Valve can itself make those calls relying on the presence of a valid SingleSignOn entry associated with the request.
See Also:
setRequireReauthentication(boolean)

setRequireReauthentication

public void setRequireReauthentication(boolean required)
Sets whether each request needs to be reauthenticated (by an Authenticator downstream in the pipeline) to the security Realm, or if this Valve can itself bind security info to the request, based on the presence of a valid SSO entry, without rechecking with the Realm If this property is false (the default), this Valve will bind a UserPrincipal and AuthType to the request if a valid SSO entry is associated with the request. It will not notify the security Realm of the incoming request.

This property should be set to true if the overall server configuration requires that the Realm reauthenticate each request thread. An example of such a configuration would be one where the Realm implementation provides security for both a web tier and an associated EJB tier, and needs to set security credentials on each request thread in order to support EJB access.

If this property is set to true, this Valve will set flags on the request notifying the downstream Authenticator that the request is associated with an SSO session. The Authenticator will then call its reauthenticateFromSSO method to attempt to reauthenticate the request to the Realm, using any credentials that were cached with this Valve.

The default value of this property is false, in order to maintain backward compatibility with previous versions of Tomcat.

Parameters:
required - true if it is required that a downstream Authenticator reauthenticate each request before calls to HttpServletRequest.setUserPrincipal() and HttpServletRequest.setAuthType() are made; false if the Valve can itself make those calls relying on the presence of a valid SingleSignOn entry associated with the request.

Deregister the specified single sign on identifier, and invalidate any associated sessions.

Parameters:
ssoId - Single sign on identifier to deregister

reauthenticate

protected boolean reauthenticate(java.lang.String ssoId,
                                 Realm realm,
                                 Request request)
Attempts reauthentication to the given Realm using the credentials associated with the single sign-on session identified by argument ssoId.

If reauthentication is successful, the Principal and authorization type associated with the SSO session will be bound to the given Request object via calls to Request.setAuthType() and Request.setUserPrincipal()

Parameters:
ssoId - identifier of SingleSignOn session with which the caller is associated
realm - Realm implementation against which the caller is to be authenticated
request - the request that needs to be authenticated
Returns:
true if reauthentication was successful, false otherwise.

register

protected void register(java.lang.String ssoId,
                        java.security.Principal principal,
                        java.lang.String authType,
                        java.lang.String username,
                        java.lang.String password)
Register the specified Principal as being associated with the specified value for the single sign on identifier.

Parameters:
ssoId - Single sign on identifier to register
principal - Associated user principal that is identified
authType - Authentication type used to authenticate this user principal
username - Username used to authenticate this user
password - Password used to authenticate this user

update

protected void update(java.lang.String ssoId,
                      java.security.Principal principal,
                      java.lang.String authType,
                      java.lang.String username,
                      java.lang.String password)
Updates any SingleSignOnEntry found under key ssoId with the given authentication data.

The purpose of this method is to allow an SSO entry that was established without a username/password combination (i.e. established following DIGEST or CLIENT_CERT authentication) to be updated with a username and password if one becomes available through a subsequent BASIC or FORM authentication. The SSO entry will then be usable for reauthentication.

NOTE: Only updates the SSO entry if a call to SingleSignOnEntry.getCanReauthenticate() returns false; otherwise, it is assumed that the SSO entry already has sufficient information to allow reauthentication and that no update is needed.

Parameters:
ssoId - identifier of Single sign to be updated
principal - the Principal returned by the latest call to Realm.authenticate.
authType - the type of authenticator used (BASIC, CLIENT_CERT, DIGEST or FORM)
username - the username (if any) used for the authentication
password - the password (if any) used for the authentication

lookup

protected SingleSignOnEntry lookup(java.lang.String ssoId)
Look up and return the cached SingleSignOn entry associated with this sso id value, if there is one; otherwise return null.

Parameters:
ssoId - Single sign on identifier to look up

removeSession

protected void removeSession(java.lang.String ssoId,
                             Session session)
Remove a single Session from a SingleSignOn. Called when a session is timed out and no longer active.

Parameters:
ssoId - Single sign on identifier from which to remove the session.
session - the session to be removed.
