  |
  +--com.sun.identity.security.AdminPasswordAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.security.PrivilegedAction

public class AdminPasswordAction

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.security.PrivilegedAction

The class is used to perform privileged operations using AccessController.doPrivileged() when using com.iplanet.am.util.AdminUtils to obtain Administrator passwords. Ths class implements the interface PrivilegedAction with a non-default constructor. * This class should be used in order to perform the privileged operation of com.iplanet.am.util.AdminUtils.getAdminPassword().

  This line of code:
     String adminDN = com.iplanet.am.util.AdminUtils.getAdminDN();
 should be replaced with:
     String adminDN = (String) AccessController.doPrivileged(
          new AdminPasswordAction());
  If this is not done and Java security permissions check is enabled, then
 the operation will fail and return a null everytime.
 
 Note: Java security permissions check for Access Manager can be enabled by
 setting the property com.sun.identity.security.checkcaller to
 true in AMConfig properties file.
