Class DecodeAction

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.identity.security.DecodeAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.security.PrivilegedAction

public class DecodeAction

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.security.PrivilegedAction

The class is used to perform privileged operations with AccessController.doPrivileged() when using com.iplanet.services.util.Crypt to decode 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.services.util.Crypt.decode/decrypt().

  This line of code:
     String decStr = com.iplanet.services.util.Crypt.decode(str)
 should be replaced with:
     String decStr = (String) AccessController.doPrivileged(
          new DecodeAction(str));
  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.
