Class JDBCUserRealm

java.lang.Object
  org.mortbay.jetty.security.HashUserRealm
      org.mortbay.jetty.security.JDBCUserRealm

All Implemented Interfaces:

SSORealm, UserRealm

public class JDBCUserRealm

extends HashUserRealm

implements UserRealm

HashMapped User Realm with JDBC as data source. JDBCUserRealm extends HashUserRealm and adds a method to fetch user information from database. The authenticate() method checks the inherited HashMap for the user. If the user is not found, it will fetch details from the database and populate the inherited HashMap. It then calls the HashUserRealm authenticate() method to perform the actual authentication. Periodically (controlled by configuration parameter), internal hashes are cleared. Caching can be disabled by setting cache refresh interval to zero. Uses one database connection that is initialized at startup. Reconnect on failures. authenticate() is 'synchronized'. An example properties file for configuration is in $JETTY_HOME/etc/jdbcRealm.properties

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface UserRealm

Overrides:

getName in class HashUserRealm

Returns:

The realm name.

setName

public void setName(String name)

Overrides:

setName in class HashUserRealm

Parameters:

name - The realm name

getConfig

public String getConfig()

Overrides:

getConfig in class HashUserRealm

setConfig

public void setConfig(String config)
               throws IOException

Load JDBC connection configuration from properties file.

Overrides:

setConfig in class HashUserRealm

Parameters:

config - Filename or url of user properties file.

Throws:

IOException

logout

public void logout(Principal user)

Description copied from interface: UserRealm

logout a user Principal. Called by authentication mechanisms (eg FORM) that can detect logout.

Specified by:

logout in interface UserRealm

Overrides:

logout in class HashUserRealm

connectDatabase

public void connectDatabase()

(re)Connect to database with parameters setup by loadConfig()

authenticate

public Principal authenticate(String username,
                              Object credentials,
                              Request request)

Description copied from interface: UserRealm

Authenticate a users credentials. Implementations of this method may adorn the calling context to assoicate it with the authenticated principal (eg ThreadLocals). If such context associations are made, they should be considered valid until a UserRealm.deAuthenticate(UserPrincipal) call is made for this UserPrincipal.

Specified by:

authenticate in interface UserRealm

Overrides:

authenticate in class HashUserRealm
