JaasAuthenticator

Revision as of 20:22, 21 February 2006

Resin provides a JaasAuthenticator for the usage of any JAAS LoginModule. A number of JAAS LoginModule implementations are included with the JDK, and it is fairly easy to create your own,

Example

resin-web.xml

<web-app xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin">

 <authenticator type="com.caucho.server.security.JaasAuthenticator">
   <init>
     <login-module>com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule</login-module>
     <init-param debug="true"/>
   </init>
 </authenticator>

</web-app>

<init-param> directives

<init-param> directives are used to configure the properties of the LoginModule. Existing LoginModules provide documentation of the init-param that are accepted. Custom LoginModule implementations retrieve the init-param values in the initialize method:

LoginModule implementation retrieves init-param

 public void initialize(Subject subject, 
                        CallbackHandler callbackHandler,
                        Map<String,?> sharedState,
                        Map<String,?> options) 
 {
 
   // initialize any configured options
   _isDebug = "true".equalsIgnoreCase((String) options.get("debug"));
   ...
 }
