Implmentation of Realm that authenticates users via the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS). JAAS support requires either JDK 1.4 (which includes it as part of the standard platform) or JDK 1.3 (with the plug-in jaas.jar
file).
The value configured for the appName
property is passed to the javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext
constructor, to specify the application name used to select the set of relevant LoginModules
required.
The JAAS Specification describes the result of a successful login as a javax.security.auth.Subject
instance, which can contain zero or more java.security.Principal
objects in the return value of the Subject.getPrincipals()
method. However, it provides no guidance on how to distinguish Principals that describe the individual user (and are thus appropriate to return as the value of request.getUserPrincipal() in a web application) from the Principal(s) that describe the authorized roles for this user. To maintain as much independence as possible from the underlying LoginMethod
implementation executed by JAAS, the following policy is implemented by this Realm:
LoginModule
is assumed to return a Subject
with at least one Principal
instance representing the user himself or herself, and zero or more separate Principals
representing the security roles authorized for this user.Principal
representing the user, the Principal name is an appropriate value to return via the Servlet API method HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser()
.Principals
representing the security roles, the name is the name of the authorized security role.java.security.Principal
- one that identifies class(es) representing a user, and one that identifies class(es) representing a security role.Principals
returned by Subject.getPrincipals()
, it will identify the first Principal
that matches the "user classes" list as the Principal
for this user.Princpals
returned by Subject.getPrincipals()
, it will accumulate the set of all Principals
matching the "role classes" list as identifying the security roles for this user.Subject
without a Principal
that matches the "user classes" list.Catalina { org.foobar.auth.DatabaseLoginModule REQUIRED JNDI_RESOURCE=jdbc/AuthDB USER_TABLE=users USER_ID_COLUMN=id USER_NAME_COLUMN=name USER_CREDENTIAL_COLUMN=password ROLE_TABLE=roles ROLE_NAME_COLUMN=name PRINCIPAL_FACTORY=org.foobar.auth.impl.SimplePrincipalFactory; };
CATALINA_OPTS
environment variable similar to the following: CATALINA_OPTS="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=$CATALINA_HOME/conf/jaas.config"
CallbackHandler
, called (unsurprisingly) JAASCallbackHandler
. This handler supplies the HTTP requests's username and credentials to the user-supplied LoginModule
Realm
implementations, digested passwords are supported if the <Realm>
element in server.xml
contains a digest
attribute; JAASCallbackHandler
will digest the password prior to passing it back to the LoginModule
