Method Detail

getDomains

java.util.List getDomains()
                          throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Get the list of authentication domains that are defined in the login.config file.

Returns:

a List of String objects with the authentication domains.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - in the event of remote object failure.

isTrusted

boolean isTrusted(java.lang.String domain)
                  throws ServiceException,
                         java.rmi.RemoteException

Indicate whether the named domain is a trust domain. A Trust domain is one that does not require a password because the user has already been authenticated by an outside mechanism.

Parameters:

domain - The name of the domain to check.

Returns:

True if the domain is configured to use the trusted authentication login module, false otherwise.

Throws:

ServiceException - If the domain is not found in the configured list.

java.rmi.RemoteException - In the event of remote object failure.

getIDPropagation

java.lang.String getIDPropagation(java.lang.String domain)
                                  throws ServiceException,
                                         java.rmi.RemoteException

Get the ID propagation authentication mechanism supported by the named domain. Returns null if the named domain does not support ID propagation.

Parameters:

domain - The name of the domain to check.

Returns:

the ID propagation authentication mechanism supported by the named domain

Throws:

ServiceException - If the domain is not found in the configured list.

java.rmi.RemoteException - In the event of remote object failure.

See Also:

IDPROPAGATION_SSPI, IDPROPAGATION_TRUSTED_PEER

getAuthenticator

AuthenticatorInterface getAuthenticator()
                                        throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Get an authenticator object. The authenticator is an interface to the JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Services) classes.

Returns:

An object used to authenticate a user identity.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a network anomaly is encountered.

getLoginConfigAppName

java.lang.String getLoginConfigAppName()
                                       throws java.rmi.RemoteException

The name of the application entry in the JAAS login configuration that applies to this services deployment. This value comes from the system property com.sas.services.security.LOGIN_CONFIG_APP_NAME or if there is no value for that property, from the Authentication Service configuration.

Returns:

the name of an application entry in the JAAS login configuration.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a network anomaly is encountered.
