Method Detail

initMechanism

protected abstract void initMechanism()
                               throws SaslException
SaslException

resetMechanism

protected abstract void resetMechanism()

SaslException

evaluateChallenge

public abstract byte[] evaluateChallenge(byte[] challenge)
                                  throws SaslException
Description copied from interface: SaslClient
Evaluates the challenge data and generates a response. If a challenge is received from the server during the authentication process, this method is called to prepare an appropriate next response to submit to the server.

Specified by:
evaluateChallenge in interface SaslClient
Parameters:
challenge - the non-null challenge sent from the server. The challenge array may have zero length.
Returns:
the possibly null reponse to send to the server. It is null if the challenge accompanied a "SUCCESS" status and the challenge only contains data for the client to update its state and no response needs to be sent to the server. The response is a zero-length byte array if the client is to send a response with no data.
Throws:
SaslException - if an error occurred while processing the challenge or generating a response.

hasInitialResponse

public abstract boolean hasInitialResponse()
Description copied from interface: SaslClient
Determines if this mechanism has an optional initial response. If true, caller should call SaslClient.evaluateChallenge(byte[]) with an empty array to get the initial response.

Specified by:
hasInitialResponse in interface SaslClient
Returns:
true if this mechanism has an initial response.

isComplete

public boolean isComplete()
Description copied from interface: SaslClient
Determines if the authentication exchange has completed. This method may be called at any time, but typically, it will not be called until the caller has received indication from the server (in a protocol-specific manner) that the exchange has completed.

Specified by:
isComplete in interface SaslClient
Returns:
true if the authentication exchange has completed; false otherwise.

unwrap

public byte[] unwrap(byte[] incoming,
                     int offset,
                     int len)
              throws SaslException
Description copied from interface: SaslClient

Unwraps a byte array received from the server. This method can be called only after the authentication exchange has completed (i.e., when SaslClient.isComplete() returns true) and only if the authentication exchange has negotiated integrity and/or privacy as the quality of protection; otherwise, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

incoming is the contents of the SASL buffer as defined in RFC 2222 without the leading four octet field that represents the length. offset and len specify the portion of incoming to use.

Specified by:
unwrap in interface SaslClient
Parameters:
incoming - a non-null byte array containing the encoded bytes from the server.
offset - the starting position at incoming of the bytes to use.
len - the number of bytes from incoming to use.
Returns:
a non-null byte array containing the decoded bytes.
Throws:
SaslException - if incoming cannot be successfully unwrapped.

wrap

public byte[] wrap(byte[] outgoing,
                   int offset,
                   int len)
            throws SaslException
Description copied from interface: SaslClient

Wraps a byte array to be sent to the server. This method can be called only after the authentication exchange has completed (i.e., when SaslClient.isComplete() returns true) and only if the authentication exchange has negotiated integrity and/or privacy as the quality of protection; otherwise, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

The result of this method will make up the contents of the SASL buffer as defined in RFC 2222 without the leading four octet field that represents the length. offset and len specify the portion of outgoing to use.

Specified by:
wrap in interface SaslClient
Parameters:
outgoing - a non-null byte array containing the bytes to encode.
offset - the starting position at outgoing of the bytes to use.
len - the number of bytes from outgoing to use.
Returns:
a non-null byte array containing the encoded bytes.
Throws:
SaslException - if outgoing cannot be successfully wrapped.

getMechanismName

public java.lang.String getMechanismName()
Description copied from interface: SaslClient
Returns the IANA-registered mechanism name of this SASL client. (e.g. "CRAM-MD5", "GSSAPI").

Specified by:
getMechanismName in interface SaslClient
Returns:
a non-null string representing the IANA-registered mechanism name.

getNegotiatedProperty

public java.lang.Object getNegotiatedProperty(java.lang.String propName)
                                       throws SaslException
Description copied from interface: SaslClient
Retrieves the negotiated property. This method can be called only after the authentication exchange has completed (i.e., when SaslClient.isComplete() returns true); otherwise, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

Specified by:
getNegotiatedProperty in interface SaslClient
Parameters:
propName - the non-null property name.
Returns:
the value of the negotiated property. If null, the property was not negotiated or is not applicable to this mechanism.
SaslException

dispose

public void dispose()
             throws SaslException
Description copied from interface: SaslClient
Disposes of any system resources or security-sensitive information the SaslClient might be using. Invoking this method invalidates the SaslClient instance. This method is idempotent.

Specified by:
dispose in interface SaslClient
Throws:
SaslException - if a problem was encountered while disposing of the resources.

                            int offset,
                            int len)
                     throws SaslException
SaslException

init

public void init(java.util.Map attributes)
          throws SaslException

Initialises the mechanism with designated attributes. Permissible names and values are mechanism specific.

Parameters:
attributes - a set of name-value pairs that describes the desired future behaviour of this instance.
Throws:
IllegalMechanismStateException - if the instance is already initialised.
SaslException - if an exception occurs during the process.

reset

public void reset()
           throws SaslException

Resets the mechanism instance for re-initialisation and use with other characteristics.

Throws:
