Class CertificateChainLoginModule

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.geronimo.security.realm.providers.CertificateChainLoginModule

All Implemented Interfaces:

LoginModule

public class CertificateChainLoginModule
extends Object
implements LoginModule

An example LoginModule that reads a list of credentials and group from a file on disk. Authentication is provided by the SSL layer supplying the client certificate. All we check is that it is present. The file should be formatted using standard Java properties syntax. Expects to be run by a GenericSecurityRealm (doesn't work on its own). The usersURI property file should have lines of the form token=certificatename where certificate name is X509Certificate.getSubjectX500Principal().getName() The groupsURI property file should have lines of the form group=token1,token2,... where the tokens were associated to the certificate names in the usersURI properties file. This login module checks security credentials so the lifecycle methods must return true to indicate success or throw LoginException to indicate failure.
