Method Detail

getUsernamePassword

UsernamePassword getUsernamePassword(Ref serviceAccount)
                                     throws CredentialNotFoundException

Gets the username/password according to the service account policy. The transport provider can use this username/password for outbound basic authentication.

Parameters:

serviceAccount - a reference to the endpoint�s service account

Returns:

the username/password

Throws:

CredentialNotFoundException - if there is any error while resolving the username/password

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if serviceAccount is null

getSubject

javax.security.auth.Subject getSubject(Ref serviceAccount)
                                       throws CredentialNotFoundException

Gets the JAAS subject according to the service account policy. Note that this subject may be anonymous. The transport provider can call weblogic.security.Security#runAs(javax.security.auth.Subject,java.security.PrivilegedAction) to push the subject on the thread.

Parameters:

serviceAccount - a reference to the endpoint�s service account

Returns:

the subject

Throws:

CredentialNotFoundException - if there is any error while resolving the subject

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if serviceAccount is null

getSubject

javax.security.auth.Subject getSubject()
                                       throws CredentialNotFoundException

Gets the client request subject. OSB supports several mechanisms to authenticate clients. In particular, the client request may be authenticated at the transport level or message level. Transport providers must not make any assumptions about the method used to authenticate this subject. Note that this subject may be anonymous.

The transport provider can use this subject for JAAS-based outbound authentication. The transport provider can call weblogic.security.Security#runAs(javax.security.auth.Subject, java.security.PrivilegedAction) to push the subject on the thread.

Note: transport providers should not rely on the subject on the thread at the time the provider is invoked.

Returns:

the client subject

Throws:

CredentialNotFoundException - if there is any error while resolving the subject

getKeyPair

KeyPairCredential getKeyPair()
                             throws CredentialNotFoundException
