Class EncodeAction

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    PrivilegedAction<String>
    public class EncodeAction
extends Object
implements PrivilegedAction<String>
    The class is used to perform privileged operation with AccessController.doPrivileged() when using com.iplanet.services.util.Crypt to encode passwords. Ths class implements the interface PrivilegedAction with a non-default constructor. This class should be used in order to perform the privileged operation of com.iplanet.services.util.Crypt.encode/encrypt(str). 
     
 This line of code: String encStr =
 com.iplanet.services.util.Crypt.encode(str) should be replaced with: String
 encStr = (String) AccessController.doPrivileged( new EncodeAction(str)); If
 this is not done and Java security permissions check is enabled, then the
 operation will fail and return a null every time.
 
 Note: Java security permissions check for OpenAM can be enabled by
 setting the property com.sun.identity.security.checkcaller to
 true in AMConfig properties file.
