Class SSOTokenManager

  • public class SSOTokenManager
extends Object
    SSOTokenManager is the final class that is the mediator between the SSO APIs and SSO providers. When an SSO client makes an API invocation, SSOTokenManager will delegate that call to the SSO provider/plug-in. The SSO provider will execute the call and return the results to SSOTokenManager, which in turn returns the results to the SSO client. This decouples the SSO clients from the actual SSO providers. You should be able to replace the SSO provider without having to modify the SSO client. However, the clients can invoke the class methods on the objects returned by the SSOTokenManager.

    SSOTokenManager is a singleton class; there can be, at most, only one instance of SSOTokenManager in any given JVM.

    SSOTokenManager currently supports only two kinds of provider: Grappa and OpenAM.

    It is assumed that the provider classes or the JAR file is in the CLASSPATH so that they can be found automatically. Providers can be configured using providerimplclass property. This property must be set to the complete (absolute) package name of the main class of the provider. For example, if the provider class is com.iplanet.sso.providers.dpro.SSOProviderImpl, that entire class name including package prefixes MUST be specified. The main class MUST implement the com.iplanet.sso.SSOProvider interface and MUST have a public no-arg default constructor.

    The class SSOTokenManager is a final class that provides interfaces to create and validate SSOTokens.

    It is a singleton class; an instance of this class can be obtained by calling SSOTokenManager.getInstance().

    Having obtained an instance of SSOTokenManager, its methods can be called to create SSOToken, get SSOToken given the SSOTokenID in string format, and to validate SSOTokens.

      • createSSOToken

        public SSOToken createSSOToken​(Principal user,
                               String password)

        Deprecated.
        This method has been deprecated. Please use the regular LDAP authentication mechanism instead. More information on how to use the authentication programming interfaces as well as the code samples can be obtained from the "Authenticating Using OpenAM Java SDK" chapter of the OpenAM Developer's Guide.
        Creates a single sign on token after authenticating the principal with the given password. This method of creating a single sign on token should only be used for command line applications and it is forbidden to use this single sign on token in any other context (e.g. policy, federation, etc.). A token created with this method is only valid within the context of the calling application. Once the process exits the token will be destroyed. If token is created using this constructor then ONLY these methods of single sign on token is supported - 
          getAuthType(),
  getHostName(),
  getIPAddress(),
  setProperty(String name, String value),
  getProperty(String name),
  isValid(),
  validate().
        Parameters:
        user - Principal representing a user or service
        password - The password supplied for the principal
        Returns:
        single sign on token
        Throws:
        SSOException - if the single sign on token cannot be created.
        UnsupportedOperationException - if this is an unsupported operation.
