Class HttpAuthenticator

java.lang.Object
edu.internet2.middleware.grouperClientExt.org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.HttpAuthenticator
public final class HttpAuthenticator extends Object
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

      public static AuthScheme selectAuthScheme(Header[] challenges) throws MalformedChallengeException
      Deprecated.
      Use AuthChallengeParser.parseChallenges(Header[]) and AuthPolicy.getAuthScheme(String)
      Chooses the strongest authentication scheme supported from the array of authentication challenges. Currently only NTLM, Digest, Basic schemes are recognized. The NTLM scheme is considered the strongest and is preferred to all others. The Digest scheme is preferred to the Basic one which provides no encryption for credentials. The Basic 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 malformed
      UnsupportedOperationException - when none of challenge types available is supported.

    • authenticateDefault

      public static boolean authenticateDefault(HttpMethod method, HttpConnection conn, HttpState state) throws AuthenticationException
      Deprecated.
      use AuthScheme
      Attempt to provide default authentication credentials to the given method in the given context using basic authentication scheme.
      Parameters:
      method - the HttpMethod which requires authentication
      conn - the connection to a specific host. This parameter may be null if default credentials (not specific to any particular host) are to be used
      state - 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 scheme
      AuthenticationException - when a parsing or other error occurs
