public class GenericAuthFilter
extends AuthFilter

GenericAuthFilter provides for both IP and basic authentication. This is really a first implementation. It looses on several points:

- AuthUser instances, being a subclass of resource dump their classes along with their attributes, although here we know that they will all be instances of AuthUser.
- The way the ipmatcher is maintained doesn't make much sense.
- The way groups are handled is no good.
- The SimpleResourceStore is not an adequat store for the user database, it should rather use the jdbmResourceStore (not written yet).

However, this provides for the basic functionnalities.

Constructor Detail

### GenericAuthFilter

    public GenericAuthFilter()

Method Detail

### acquireRealm

    protected void acquireRealm()

  Get a pointer to our realm, and initialize our ipmatcher.

### checkRealm

    protected boolean checkRealm()

  Check that our realm does exist. Otherwise we are probably being initialized, and we don't authenticate yet.
  Returns:
    A boolean true if realm can be initialized.

### getAllowedUsers

    public java.lang.String[] getAllowedUsers()

  Get the list of allowed users.

### getAllowedGroups

    public java.lang.String[] getAllowedGroups()

  Get the list of allowed groups.

### lookupUser

    public ResourceReference lookupUser(java.net.InetAddress ipaddr)

  Lookup a user by its IP address.
  Parameters:
    `ipaddr` - The IP address to look for.
  Returns:
    An AuthUser instance or null.

### lookupUser

    public ResourceReference lookupUser(java.lang.String name)

  Lookup a user by its name.
  Parameters:
    `name` - The user's name.
  Returns:
    An AuthUser instance, or null.

### checkBasicAuth

    protected ResourceReference checkBasicAuth(org.w3c.jigsaw.auth.BasicAuthContext ctxt)

  Check the given Basic context against our database.
  Parameters:
    `ctxt` - The basic auth context to check.
  Returns:
    A AuthUser instance if check succeeded, null otherwise.

### checkUser

    protected boolean checkUser(AuthUser user)

  Is this user allowed in the realm ? First check in the list of allowed users (if any), than in the list of allowed groups (if any). If no allowed users or allowed groups are defined, than simply check for the existence of this user.
  Returns:
    A boolean true if access allowed.

### setValue

    public void setValue(int idx,
                         java.lang.Object value)

  Catch set value on the realm, to maintain cached values.
  Overrides:
    setValue in class ResourceFrame
  Tags copied from class: ResourceFrame
  Parameters:
    `idx` - The index of the attribute to modify.
    `value` - The new attribute value.

### authenticate

    public void authenticate(Request request)
                      throws ProtocolException

  Authenticate the given request. We first check for valid authentication information. If no authentication is provided, than we try to map the IP address to some of the ones we know about. If the IP address is not found, we challenge the client for a password.

  If the IP address is found, than either our user entry requires an extra password step (in wich case we challenge it), or simple IP based authentication is enough, so we allow the request.

  Overrides:
    authenticate in class AuthFilter
  Parameters:
    `request` - The request to be authentified.
  Throws:
    ProtocolException - if authentication failed

### initialize

    public void initialize(java.lang.Object[] values)

  Initialize the filter.
  Overrides:
    initialize in class FramedResource
  Tags copied from class: FramedResource
  Parameters:
    `values` - Default attribute values.
