public class UsernamePasswordLoginModule
extends java.lang.Object
implements javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule

UsernamePasswordLoginModule is used in a WLS client to authenticate to the WLS server. This LoginModule authenticates users with a username/password. It can be used for both the T3 and IIOP clients. Callers of this module must implement callbacks to pass the username, password, and optional URL for the WLS server. Caller must implement a NameCallback for the username, a PasswordCallback for the username, and a URLCallback for the URL. If no URL is available, then the callback handler should return null for the URLCallback.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(javax.security.auth.Subject subject,
                       javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler callbackHandler,
                       java.util.Map sharedState,
                       java.util.Map options)

Specified by:
initialize in interface javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule

Parameters:
subject - Subject to contain principals returned from WLS server.
callbackHandler - CallbackHandler containing Name, Password, and URL callbacks.
sharedState - Map used to share state among different login modules. This is not used by this login module.
options - Map used to specify options to this login module. Supported options debug and URL. The debug option can be used to display additional debugging information. The URL option can be used instead of the URL callback.

login

public boolean login()
              throws javax.security.auth.login.LoginException
Authenticate the user by username and password passed in
Specified by:
login in interface javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule

Returns:
true in all cases
Throws:
javax.security.auth.login.FailedLoginException - if the authentication fails.
javax.security.auth.login.LoginException - if this LoginModule is unable to perform the authentication.

commit

public boolean commit()
               throws javax.security.auth.login.LoginException
This method is called if the LoginContext's overall authentication succeeded (the relevant REQUIRED, REQUISITE, SUFFICIENT and OPTIONAL LoginModules succeeded). If this LoginModule's own authentication attempted failed, then this method removes any state that was originally saved.
Specified by:
commit in interface javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule

Returns:
true if this LoginModule's own login and commit attempts succeeded, or false otherwise.
Throws:
javax.security.auth.login.LoginException - if the commit fails.

abort

public boolean abort()
              throws javax.security.auth.login.LoginException
This method is called if the LoginContext's overall authentication failed. If this LoginModule's own authentication attempt succeeded (checked by retrieving the private state saved by the login and commit methods),then this method cleans up any state that was originally saved.
Specified by:
abort in interface javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule

Returns:
false if this LoginModule's own login and/or commit attempts failed, and true otherwise.
Throws:
javax.security.auth.login.LoginException - if the abort fails.

logout

public boolean logout()
               throws javax.security.auth.login.LoginException
