Class HttpAuthenticator

edu.internet2.middleware.grouperClientExt.org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.HttpAuthenticator
Deprecated.
no longer used
Utility methods for HTTP authorization and authentication. This class
provides utility methods for generating responses to HTTP www and proxy
authentication challenges.
A client SHOULD assume that all paths at or deeper than the depth of the last symbolic element in the path field of the Request-URI also are within the protection space specified by the basic realm value of the current challenge. A client MAY preemptively send the corresponding Authorization header with requests for resources in that space without receipt of another challenge from the server. Similarly, when a client sends a request to a proxy, it may reuse a userid and password in the Proxy-Authorization header field without receiving another challenge from the proxy server.

selectAuthScheme
Deprecated.Chooses the strongest authentication scheme supported from the array of authentication challenges. Currently onlyNTLM
,Digest
,Basic
schemes are recognized. TheNTLM
scheme is considered the strongest and is preferred to all others. TheDigest
scheme is preferred to theBasic
one which provides no encryption for credentials. TheBasic
scheme is used only if it is the only one supported.- Parameters:
challenges
- The array of authentication challenges- Returns:
- The strongest authentication scheme supported
- Throws:
MalformedChallengeException
- is thrown if an authentication challenge is malformedUnsupportedOperationException
- when none of challenge types available is supported.

authenticateDefault
public static boolean authenticateDefault(HttpMethod method, HttpConnection conn, HttpState state) throws AuthenticationException Deprecated.use AuthSchemeAttempt to provide default authentication credentials to the given method in the given context using basic authentication scheme.- Parameters:
method
- the HttpMethod which requires authenticationconn
- the connection to a specific host. This parameter may be null if default credentials (not specific to any particular host) are to be usedstate
- the HttpState object providing Credentials- Returns:
- true if the Authenticate response header was added
- Throws:
InvalidCredentialsException
- if authentication credentials are not valid or not applicable for basic schemeAuthenticationException
- when a parsing or other error occurs- See Also:
-
authenticateProxyDefault
public static boolean authenticateProxyDefault(HttpMethod method, HttpConnection conn, HttpState state) throws AuthenticationException Deprecated.use AuthSchemeAttempt to provide default proxy authentication credentials to the given method in the given context using basic authentication scheme.- Parameters:
method
- the HttpMethod which requires authenticationconn
- the connection to a specific host. This parameter may be null if default credentials (not specific to any particular host) are to be usedstate
- the HttpState object providing Credentials- Returns:
- true if the Proxy-Authenticate response header was added
- Throws:
InvalidCredentialsException
- if authentication credentials are not valid or not applicable for basic schemeAuthenticationException
- when a parsing or other error occurs- See Also:
-
authenticate
public static boolean authenticate(AuthScheme authscheme, HttpMethod method, HttpConnection conn, HttpState state) throws AuthenticationException Deprecated.use AuthSchemeAttempt to provide requisite authentication credentials to the given method in the given context using the given authentication scheme.- Parameters:

- The HttpState object providing Credentials- Returns:
- true if the Authenticate response header was added
- Throws:
CredentialsNotAvailableException
- if authentication credentials required to respond to the authentication challenge are not availableAuthenticationException
- when a parsing or other error occurs- See Also:
-
authenticateProxy
public static boolean authenticateProxy(AuthScheme authscheme, HttpMethod method, HttpConnection conn, HttpState state) throws AuthenticationException Deprecated.use AuthSchemeAttempt to provide requisite proxy authentication credentials to the given method in the given context using the given authentication scheme.- Parameters:
