Re: [higgins-dev] Two proposed IdAS changes
|
How is Jim to know what pleases the court? We need to make progress, if it pleases the court to be specific about what it DOES want to do AND how that is done, we can move past this and bandit can be a nice happy consumer, supporter, and contributor to higgins.
Thanks,
Tom

How are to know this ? you use a name in the directory path of Bandit ! So
it would simplify things if you just post of Eclipse or send out as jar
files in email as we are not going around poking on servers to find out
what the licensing rules are.

Note that this is just temporary doc and only informational just in case
anyone wants to see it in javadoc form. For anyone forbidden from looking
at links on forgeftp.novell.com (which again, is not a bandit site), just
read the emails and imagine what the doc might look like. I'd be happy to
upload temp javadoc to an eclipse website in the future if I'm told how.

Since I'm one of the ones proposing this, it'd be
redundant, if not insincere, to say "sounds good jim,
let's go with it!" So, instead I'll say that we're going
to go ahead and try this out today amongst ourselves and
get practical experience within the LDAP CP and if that
goes well, we'll propose this "all CP" effecting change
be checked in to IdAS tomorrow. Good?

1) We have a need for an IdAS consumer to be able to open
a context
using some authN materials, and then read the attributes
of the DS
representing the identity in the authN materials used to
open the
context. These authN materials don't contain the cuid of
the DS. They
may or may not contain attributes which could be used to
search for the
DS but this can't be relied on. Therefore, we propose
that
IContext.open return a String which is the cuid of the DS
representing
the identity in the authN materials used to open the
context (if any).
The string may be null when the identity is not
represented by any
specific DS in the context.
Existing CP's and IdAS consumers would need to be updated
for this change.
2) We realized the current AuthNNamePasswordMaterials can
be seen as
similar to other kinds of AuthNMaterials. One thing many
different
kinds of AuthNMaterials seem to have in common is that
they contain a
set of properties that identify the identity. The
proposal is to do this:
public interface
org.eclipse.higgins.idas.IAuthNPropertiesMaterials
extends IHasProperties
public class
org.eclipse.higgins.idas.impl.AuthNPropertiesMaterials
extends BasicPropertySet implements
IAuthNPropertiesMaterials
public class
org.eclipse.higgins.idas.impl.AuthNNamePasswordMaterials
extends AuthNPropertiesMaterials
public class
org.eclipse.higgins.idas.impl.AuthNSelfIssuedMaterials
extends AuthNPropertiesMaterials
Where AuthNNamePasswordMaterials and
AuthNSelfIssuedMaterials have
get/set methods for name/pw and ppid/publicKey
repectively, and where
the implementations store these values as properties.
This way a Context Provider can implement IContext.open
by examining the
class of the passed identity. If it's something specific
like
AuthNNamePasswordMaterials, it might know exactly what
can be done with
it. Failing that, it may discover that it implements
IAuthNPropertiesMaterials and therefore, the property set
may be
interrogated in order to see if it constitutes a set of
attributes which
are suitable for describing an identity which can be used
to open the
context.
Existing CP's and IdAS consumers currently implementing
or making use of
org.eclipse.higgins.idas.AuthNNamePasswordMaterials would
need to be
updated for this change.
