Provides two methods for changing a user's password. An Authentication provider MBean can optionally implement this MBean. The WebLogic Server Administration Console detects when an Authentication provider implements this MBean and automatically provides a tab for using these methods.
CSS v4 introduced a new Password Validaton Service to check
password against a set of rules when doing changing password
operations with authentication provider MBeans such as
createUser, changeUserPassword and
resetUserPassword. The rules can be specified through
configuring Password Validation Provider into the security realm,
for further information, see
weblogic.management.security.RealmMBean.
All OOTB authentication providers in CSS will automatically call
the Password Validation Service if their MBeans inherit
UserPasswordEditorMBean interface. The service is also
available for all those customized authentication providers whose
MBeans inherit UserPasswordEditorMBean, to introduce
the Password Validation Service into a customized authentication
proivder, the following approach must be met:
1. In the initialize method of a customized provider
implementation, must retrieve the Password Validation Service and
register the service into a helper class such as
weblogic.security.provider.authentication.AuthenticationSecurityHelper,
the code might like as below:
import com.bea.common.security.service.PasswordValidationService; import com.bea.common.security.legacy.ExtendedSecurityServices; import com.bea.common.security.internal.legacy.helper.PasswordValidationServiceConfigHelper; import weblogic.security.provider.authentication.AuthenticationSecurityHelper; ...... ExtendedSecurityServices extendedSecurityServices = (ExtendedSecurityServices)securityServices; PasswordValidationService serivce = (PasswordValidationService)extendedSecurityServices.getServices(). getService(PasswordValidationServiceConfigHelper.getServiceName(providerMBean.getRealm())); AuthenticationSecurityHelper.getInstance(providerMBean).registerPasswordValidationService(service); ......
2. In the createUser, changeUserPassword and(or)
resetUserPassword methods of a customized authentication
provider MBean, call the helper class to validate the new password
to determine if the new password is valid. The code might be:
import weblogic.security.provider.authentication.AuthenticationSecurityHelper; ..... AuthenticationSecurityHelper.getInstance(providerMBean).validatePassword(userName,password); .....
