Class FormAuthenticator

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jetty.security.authentication.LoginAuthenticator

org.eclipse.jetty.security.authentication.FormAuthenticator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Authenticator

public class FormAuthenticator
extends LoginAuthenticator

FORM Authenticator.

This authenticator implements form authentication will use dispatchers to the login page if the __FORM_DISPATCH init parameter is set to true. Otherwise it will redirect.

The form authenticator redirects unauthenticated requests to a log page which should use a form to gather username/password from the user and send them to the /j_security_check URI within the context. FormAuthentication uses SessionAuthentication to wrap Authentication results so that they are associated with the session.

Method Details

setAlwaysSaveUri

public void setAlwaysSaveUri(boolean alwaysSave)

If true, uris that cause a redirect to a login page will always be remembered. If false, only the first uri that leads to a login page redirect is remembered. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=379909

Parameters:

alwaysSave - true to always save the uri

getAlwaysSaveUri

public boolean getAlwaysSaveUri()

setConfiguration

public void setConfiguration(Authenticator.Configuration configuration)

Description copied from interface: Authenticator

Configure the Authenticator

Specified by:

setConfiguration in interface Authenticator

Overrides:

setConfiguration in class LoginAuthenticator

Parameters:

configuration - the configuration

getAuthenticationType

public String getAuthenticationType()

Returns:

The name of the authentication type

login

public UserIdentity login(String username,
 Object password,
 Request request,
 Response response)

Description copied from class: LoginAuthenticator

If the UserIdentity returned from LoginService.login(String, Object, Request, Function) is not null, it is assumed that the user is fully authenticated and we need to change the session id to prevent session fixation vulnerability. If the UserIdentity is not necessarily fully authenticated, then subclasses must override this method and determine when the UserIdentity IS fully authenticated and renew the session id.

Overrides:

login in class LoginAuthenticator

Parameters:

username - the username of the client to be authenticated

password - the user's credential

request - the inbound request that needs authentication

logout

public void logout(Request request,
 Response response)

Overrides:

logout in class LoginAuthenticator

prepareRequest

public Request prepareRequest(Request request,
 AuthenticationState authenticationState)

Description copied from interface: Authenticator

Called after Authenticator.validateRequest(Request, Response, Callback) and before calling Request.Handler.handle(Request, Response, Callback) of the nested handler. This may be used by an Authenticator to restore method or content from a previous request that was challenged.

Parameters:

request - the request to prepare for handling

authenticationState - The authentication for the request

getParameters

protected Fields getParameters(Request request)

encodeURL

protected String encodeURL(String url,
 Request request)

getConstraintAuthentication

public Constraint.Authorization getConstraintAuthentication(String pathInContext,
 Constraint.Authorization existing,
 Function<Boolean,Session> getSession)

Description copied from interface: Authenticator

Get an Constraint.Authorization applicable to the path for this authenticator. This is typically used to vary protection on special URIs known to a specific Authenticator (e.g. /j_security_check for the FormAuthenticator.

Parameters:

pathInContext - The pathInContext to potentially constrain.

existing - The existing authentication constraint for the pathInContext determined independently of Authenticator

getSession - Function to get or create a Session.

Returns:

The Constraint.Authorization to apply.

validateRequest

public AuthenticationState validateRequest(Request request,
 Response response,
 Callback callback)
                                    throws ServerAuthException

Description copied from interface: Authenticator

Validate a request

Parameters:

request - The request

response - The response

callback - the callback to use for writing a response

Returns:

An Authentication. If Authentication is successful, this will be a AuthenticationState.Succeeded. If a response has been sent by the Authenticator (which can be done for both successful and unsuccessful authentications), then the result will implement AuthenticationState.ResponseSent.

Throws:

ServerAuthException - if unable to validate request

isJSecurityCheck

public boolean isJSecurityCheck(String uri)

isLoginOrErrorPage

public boolean isLoginOrErrorPage(String pathInContext)
