Method Detail

getCredentials

java.lang.Object[] getCredentials(weblogic.security.acl.internal.AuthenticatedSubject requestor,
                                  weblogic.security.acl.internal.AuthenticatedSubject initiator,
                                  Resource resource,
                                  ContextHandler handler,
                                  java.lang.String credType)

Returns credentials of the specified type from the target resource associated with the specified subject. Returns null if no credentials were found.

This method should be used when the initiator identity is a WebLogic user or group in order that the (optional) identity domain information is available from the Subject's principals that implement IdentityDomainPrincipal.

Parameters:

requestor - Subject requesting credentials

initiator - the identity for which credential is retrieved

resource - Resource for which credentials are requested

credType - Credential type

Returns:

Credentials of the specified type from the target resource associated with the specified subject

getCredentials

java.lang.Object[] getCredentials(weblogic.security.acl.internal.AuthenticatedSubject requestor,
                                  java.lang.String initiator,
                                  Resource resource,
                                  ContextHandler handler,
                                  java.lang.String credType)

Returns credentials of the specified type from the target resource associated with the specified subject. Returns null if no credentials were found.

This method should be used when the initiator identity is a an alias or symbolic name, including when the identity is an external user.

Parameters:

requestor - Subject requesting credentials

initiator - the identity for which credential is retrieved

resource - Resource for which credentials are requested

credType - Credential type

Returns:

Credentials of the specified type from the target resource associated with the specified subject

                                            InvalidParameterException

Deprecated. As of WebLogic Server 9.0, replaced with getCredentials(AuthenticatedSubject, AuthenticatedSubject, Resource, String)

Returns the appropriate set of credentials for the target resource based on the identity of the initiating principal specified in the Subject. The Auditor is called after the method has created the Vector of credentials to return. The AuditEvent severity of SUCCESS or INFORMATION are generated depending upon whether any credentials were returned.

Parameters:

requestor - an AuthenticatedSubject object specifying one or more Principals that represent the identity of the entity that is requesting the credential information. Some of the Principals contained within the Subject may represent alternate identities, such as the identity of a group for which the Subject is a member.

initiator - an AuthenticatedSubject that specifies one or more principals that represent the identity for which credential information is being retrieved.

Some of the principals contained within the Subject may represent alternate identities, such as the identity of a group for which the Subject is a member.

resource - a Resource object that indicates that type of resource on which the Subject is attempting to perform a request

credentialTypes - an array of credential type String definitions used by a CredentialMapper for supported credential type recognition

Returns:

A Vector that contains the appropriate set of credentials for the target resource. The type of each entry in the Vector will either be a javax.resource.spi.security.GenericCredential or a javax.resource.spi.PasswordCredential.

Throws:

NotYetInitializedException

InvalidParameterException

Deprecated. As of WebLogic Server 9.0, replaced with getCredentials(AuthenticatedSubject, String, Resource, String)

Returns the appropriate set of credentials for the target resource based on the identity of the initiating principal. The Auditor is called after the method has created the Vector of credentials to return. The AuditEvent severity of SUCCESS or INFORMATION are generated depending upon whether any credentials were returned.

Parameters:

requestor - a Subject that specifies one or more principals that represent the identity of the entity that is requesting the credential information.

Some of the principals contained within the Subject may represent alternate identities, such as the identity of a group for which the Subject is a member.

initiator - a string that specifies that represent the identity for which credential information is being retrieved

resource - a Resource object that indicates that type of resource on which the Subject is attempting to perform a request

credentialTypes - an array of credential type String definitions used by a CredentialMapper for supported credential type recognition.

Returns:

The returned value is a Vector of objects. One object for each configured Credential Mapper. Each object contains the appropriate type of credentials for the target resource.

isVersionableApplicationSupported

boolean isVersionableApplicationSupported()

Returns true if all the credential mappers support the VersionableApplicationProvider security service provider interface.
