Detailed Description

Implementation of the SecurityLevel2::PrincipalAuthenticator interface.

This class implements the chain-of-responsibility design pattern to decide which security mechanism

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator_ptr TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::_ptr_type

Reimplemented from CORBA::LocalObject.

typedef TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator_var TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::_var_type

Reimplemented from CORBA::LocalObject.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator (  TAO_SecurityManager *    manager )

Constructor.

TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::~TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator (  void    )  [protected]

Destructor. Protected destructor to enforce the fact this class is reference counted, and should not be destroyed using delete() by anything other than the reference counting mechanism.

Member Function Documentation

TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator_ptr TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::_duplicate (  TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator_ptr    obj )  [static]

const char * TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::_interface_repository_id (  void    )  const [virtual]

Reimplemented from CORBA::Object.

TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator_ptr TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::_narrow (  CORBA::Object_ptr obj    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL_WITH_DEFAULTS )  [static]

Reimplemented from CORBA::LocalObject.

TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator_ptr TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::_nil (  void    )  [inline, static]

Reimplemented from CORBA::LocalObject.

Security::AuthenticationStatus TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::authenticate (  Security::AuthenticationMethod    method, const char *    mechanism, const char *    security_name, const CORBA::Any &    auth_data, const Security::AttributeList &    privileges, SecurityLevel2::Credentials_out    creds, CORBA::Any_out    continuation_data, CORBA::Any_out auth_specific_data    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL_WITH_DEFAULTS )  throw (CORBA::SystemException) [virtual]

Created Credentials will be placed in the SecurityManager object's own_credentials list. If authenticate() returns with a Security::SecAuthContinue, e.g. due to an inability to complete authentication in a single operation, then authentication must completed using the continue_authentication() method.

Security::AuthenticationStatus TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::continue_authentication (  const CORBA::Any &    response_data, SecurityLevel2::Credentials_ptr    creds, CORBA::Any_out    continuation_data, CORBA::Any_out auth_specific_data    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL_WITH_DEFAULTS )  throw (CORBA::SystemException) [virtual]

Continue partially completed authentication process.

virtual Security::AuthenticationMethodList* TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::get_supported_authen_methods (  const char *mechanism    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL_WITH_DEFAULTS )  throw (CORBA::SystemException) [virtual]

Return the authentication methods supported by the given mechanism.

void TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::register_vault (  SecurityReplaceable::Vault_ptr vault    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL_WITH_DEFAULTS )

Note: This is a TAO-specific extension.
