| 34 | +/** | |
| 35 | + * <p> <code>LoginModule</code> describes the interface | |
| 36 | + * implemented by authentication technology providers. LoginModules | |
| 37 | + * are plugged in under applications to provide a particular type of | |
| 38 | + * authentication. | |
| 39 | + * | |
| 40 | + * <p> While applications write to the <code>LoginContext</code> API, | |
| 41 | + * authentication technology providers implement the | |
| 42 | + * <code>LoginModule</code> interface. | |
| 43 | + * A <code>Configuration</code> specifies the LoginModule(s) | |
| 44 | + * to be used with a particular login application. Therefore different | |
| 45 | + * LoginModules can be plugged in under the application without | |
| 46 | + * requiring any modifications to the application itself. | |
| 47 | + * | |
| 48 | + * <p> The <code>LoginContext</code> is responsible for reading the | |
| 49 | + * <code>Configuration</code> and instantiating the appropriate | |
| 50 | + * LoginModules. Each <code>LoginModule</code> is initialized with | |
| 51 | + * a <code>Subject</code>, a <code>CallbackHandler</code>, shared | |
| 52 | + * <code>LoginModule</code> state, and LoginModule-specific options. | |
| 53 | + * | |
| 54 | + * The <code>Subject</code> represents the | |
| 55 | + * <code>Subject</code> currently being authenticated and is updated | |
| 56 | + * with relevant Credentials if authentication succeeds. | |
| 57 | + * LoginModules use the <code>CallbackHandler</code> to | |
| 58 | + * communicate with users. The <code>CallbackHandler</code> may be | |
| 59 | + * used to prompt for usernames and passwords, for example. | |
| 60 | + * Note that the <code>CallbackHandler</code> may be null. LoginModules | |
| 61 | + * which absolutely require a <code>CallbackHandler</code> to authenticate | |
| 62 | + * the <code>Subject</code> may throw a <code>LoginException</code>. | |
| 63 | + * LoginModules optionally use the shared state to share information | |
| 64 | + * or data among themselves. | |
| 65 | + * | |
| 66 | + * <p> The LoginModule-specific options represent the options | |
| 67 | + * configured for this <code>LoginModule</code> by an administrator or user | |
| 68 | + * in the login <code>Configuration</code>. | |
| 69 | + * The options are defined by the <code>LoginModule</code> itself | |
| 70 | + * and control the behavior within it. For example, a | |
| 71 | + * <code>LoginModule</code> may define options to support debugging/testing | |
| 72 | + * capabilities. Options are defined using a key-value syntax, | |
| 73 | + * such as <i>debug=true</i>. The <code>LoginModule</code> | |
| 74 | + * stores the options as a <code>Map</code> so that the values may | |
| 75 | + * be retrieved using the key. Note that there is no limit to the number | |
| 76 | + * of options a <code>LoginModule</code> chooses to define. | |
| 77 | + * | |
| 78 | + * <p> The calling application sees the authentication process as a single | |
| 79 | + * operation. However, the authentication process within the | |
| 80 | + * <code>LoginModule</code> proceeds in two distinct phases. | |
| 81 | + * In the first phase, the LoginModule's | |
| 82 | + * <code>login</code> method gets invoked by the LoginContext's | |
| 83 | + * <code>login</code> method. The <code>login</code> | |
| 84 | + * method for the <code>LoginModule</code> then performs | |
| 85 | + * the actual authentication (prompt for and verify a password for example) | |
| 86 | + * and saves its authentication status as private state | |
| 87 | + * information. Once finished, the LoginModule's <code>login</code> | |
| 88 | + * method either returns <code>true</code> (if it succeeded) or | |
| 89 | + * <code>false</code> (if it should be ignored), or throws a | |
| 90 | + * <code>LoginException</code> to specify a failure. | |
| 91 | + * In the failure case, the <code>LoginModule</code> must not retry the | |
| 92 | + * authentication or introduce delays. The responsibility of such tasks | |
| 93 | + * belongs to the application. If the application attempts to retry | |
| 94 | + * the authentication, the LoginModule's <code>login</code> method will be | |
| 95 | + * called again. | |
| 96 | + * | |
| 97 | + * <p> In the second phase, if the LoginContext's overall authentication | |
| 98 | + * succeeded (the relevant REQUIRED, REQUISITE, SUFFICIENT and OPTIONAL | |
| 99 | + * LoginModules succeeded), then the <code>commit</code> | |
| 100 | + * method for the <code>LoginModule</code> gets invoked. | |
| 101 | + * The <code>commit</code> method for a <code>LoginModule</code> checks its | |
| 102 | + * privately saved state to see if its own authentication succeeded. | |
| 103 | + * If the overall <code>LoginContext</code> authentication succeeded | |
| 104 | + * and the LoginModule's own authentication succeeded, then the | |
| 105 | + * <code>commit</code> method associates the relevant | |
| 106 | + * Principals (authenticated identities) and Credentials (authentication data | |
| 107 | + * such as cryptographic keys) with the <code>Subject</code> | |
| 108 | + * located within the <code>LoginModule</code>. | |
| 109 | + * | |
| 110 | + * <p> If the LoginContext's overall authentication failed (the relevant | |
| 111 | + * REQUIRED, REQUISITE, SUFFICIENT and OPTIONAL LoginModules did not succeed), | |
| 112 | + * then the <code>abort</code> method for each <code>LoginModule</code> | |
| 113 | + * gets invoked. In this case, the <code>LoginModule</code> removes/destroys | |
| 114 | + * any authentication state originally saved. | |
| 115 | + * | |
| 116 | + * <p> Logging out a <code>Subject</code> involves only one phase. | |
| 117 | + * The <code>LoginContext</code> invokes the LoginModule's <code>logout</code> | |
| 118 | + * method. The <code>logout</code> method for the <code>LoginModule</code> | |
| 119 | + * then performs the logout procedures, such as removing Principals or | |
| 120 | + * Credentials from the <code>Subject</code> or logging session information. | |
| 121 | + * | |
| 122 | + * <p> A <code>LoginModule</code> implementation must have a constructor with | |
| 123 | + * no arguments. This allows classes which load the <code>LoginModule</code> | |
| 124 | + * to instantiate it. | |
| 125 | + * | |
