examples.security.cert.SimpleCertAuthenticator

public class SimpleCertAuthenticator
implements CertAuthenticator

A very simple certificate authentication example. This example maps the name in the email address of a certificate's holder directly to a WebLogic user.

Other, more realistic, approaches to authentication include the following:

Search an LDAP directory for a user with a matching certificate, and return that user, if any.
Maintain an RDBMS table that maps certificate public keys to WebLogic user names, and perform an RDBMS lookup to obtain a user name.

SimpleCertAuthenticator()

authenticate(String, Certificate[], boolean): Attempt to authenticate a remote user.

SimpleCertAuthenticator

 public SimpleCertAuthenticator()

authenticate

 public User authenticate(String userName,
                          Certificate certs[],
                          boolean ssl)

Attempt to authenticate a remote user.

Parameters:: userName - ignored by this example; certs - used to attempt to map from email addrss to WebLogic user; ssl - if true, this example always returns null
Returns:: authenticated user, or null if authentication failed
