Package org.jivesoftware.smack.sasl

Class SASLMechanism

java.lang.Object

org.jivesoftware.smack.sasl.SASLMechanism

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<SASLMechanism>

Direct Known Subclasses:

SASLAnonymous, SASLXOauth2Mechanism, ScramMechanism

public abstract class SASLMechanism
extends Object
implements Comparable<SASLMechanism>

Base class for SASL mechanisms. Subclasses will likely want to implement their own versions of these methods:

• authenticate(String, String, DomainBareJid, String, EntityBareJid, SSLSession) -- Initiate authentication stanza using the deprecated method.
• authenticate(String, DomainBareJid, CallbackHandler, EntityBareJid, SSLSession) -- Initiate authentication stanza using the CallbackHandler method.
• challengeReceived(String, boolean) -- Handle a challenge from the server.

connection

protected XMPPConnection connection

connectionConfiguration

protected ConnectionConfiguration connectionConfiguration

authenticationId

protected String authenticationId

Then authentication identity (authcid). RFC 6120 § 6.3.7 informs us that some SASL mechanisms use this as a "simple user name". But the exact form is a matter of the mechanism and that it does not necessarily map to an localpart. But it usually is the localpart of the client JID, although sometimes other formats are used (e.g. the full JID).

Not to be confused with the authzid (see RFC 6120 § 6.3.8).

authorizationId

protected org.jxmpp.jid.EntityBareJid authorizationId

The authorization identifier (authzid). This is always a bare Jid, but can be null.

serviceName

protected org.jxmpp.jid.DomainBareJid serviceName

The name of the XMPP service

password

protected String password

The users password

host

protected String host

sslSession

protected SSLSession sslSession

The used SSL/TLS session (if any).

Method Details

authenticate

public final void authenticate(String username,
 String host,
 org.jxmpp.jid.DomainBareJid serviceName,
 String password,
 org.jxmpp.jid.EntityBareJid authzid,
 SSLSession sslSession)
                        throws SmackException.SmackSaslException,
SmackException.NotConnectedException,
InterruptedException

Builds and sends the auth stanza to the server. Note that this method of authentication is not recommended, since it is very inflexible. Use authenticate(String, DomainBareJid, CallbackHandler, EntityBareJid, SSLSession) whenever possible. Explanation of auth stanza: The client authentication stanza needs to include the digest-uri of the form: xmpp/serviceName From RFC-2831: digest-uri = "digest-uri" "=" digest-uri-value digest-uri-value = serv-type "/" host [ "/" serv-name ] digest-uri: Indicates the principal name of the service with which the client wishes to connect, formed from the serv-type, host, and serv-name. For example, the FTP service on "ftp.example.com" would have a "digest-uri" value of "ftp/ftp.example.com"; the SMTP server from the example above would have a "digest-uri" value of "smtp/mail3.example.com/example.com". host: The DNS host name or IP address for the service requested. The DNS host name must be the fully-qualified canonical name of the host. The DNS host name is the preferred form; see notes on server processing of the digest-uri. serv-name: Indicates the name of the service if it is replicated. The service is considered to be replicated if the client's service-location process involves resolution using standard DNS lookup operations, and if these operations involve DNS records (such as SRV, or MX) which resolve one DNS name into a set of other DNS names. In this case, the initial name used by the client is the "serv-name", and the final name is the "host" component. For example, the incoming mail service for "example.com" may be replicated through the use of MX records stored in the DNS, one of which points at an SMTP server called "mail3.example.com"; it's "serv-name" would be "example.com", it's "host" would be "mail3.example.com". If the service is not replicated, or the serv-name is identical to the host, then the serv-name component MUST be omitted digest-uri verification is needed for ejabberd 2.0.3 and higher

Parameters:

username - the username of the user being authenticated.

host - the hostname where the user account resides.

serviceName - the xmpp service location - used by the SASL client in digest-uri creation serviceName format is: host [ "/" serv-name ] as per RFC-2831

password - the password for this account.

authzid - the optional authorization identity.

sslSession - the optional SSL/TLS session (if one was established)

Throws:

SmackException.SmackSaslException - if a SASL related error occurs.

SmackException.NotConnectedException - if the XMPP connection is not connected.

InterruptedException - if the calling thread was interrupted.

Parameters:

host - the hostname where the user account resides.

serviceName - the xmpp service location

cbh - the CallbackHandler to obtain user information.

authzid - the optional authorization identity.

                                         throws SmackException.SmackSaslException

Should return the initial response of the SASL mechanism. The returned byte array will be send base64 encoded to the server. SASL mechanism are free to return null or an empty array here.

Returns:

the initial response or null
