BEA WebLogic Server 9.0 API Reference

weblogic.management.security.authentication
Interface IdentityAsserterMBean

All Superinterfaces:

AuthenticationProviderMBean, weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorBean, ProviderMBean, weblogic.descriptor.SettableBean, weblogic.management.commo.StandardInterface

public interface IdentityAsserterMBean

extends AuthenticationProviderMBean

The SSPI MBean that all Identity Assertion providers must extend. This MBean enables an Identity Assertion provider to specify the token types for which it is capable of asserting identity.

Deprecation of MBeanHome and Type-Safe Interfaces

In addition to being used as a base class that provides functionality to security provider MBeans, JMX applications can use this class directly as a type-safe interface. When used as a type-safe interface, a JMX application imports this class and accesses it through weblogic.management.MBeanHome. As of 9.0, the MBeanHome interface and all type-safe interfaces for WebLogic Server MBeans are deprecated. Instead, JMX applications that interact with WebLogic Server MBeans should use standard JMX design patterns in which clients use the javax.management.MBeanServerConnection interface to discover MBeans, attributes, and attribute types at runtime. For more information, see "Developing Manageable Applications with JMX" on http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html.

Method Detail

getActiveTypes

public String[] getActiveTypes()

Returns the token types that the Identity Assertion provider is currently configured to process.

A dynamic MBean attribute.

false

getBase64DecodingRequired

public boolean getBase64DecodingRequired()

Returns whether the tokens that are passed to the Identity Assertion provider will be will base64 decoded first. If false then the server will not base64 decode the token before passing it to the identity asserter. This defaults to true for backwards compatibility but most providers will probably want to set this to false.

Default value:

true

A dynamic MBean attribute.

false

getSupportedTypes

public String[] getSupportedTypes()

Returns the list of token types supported by the Identity Assertion provider.

To see a list of default token types, refer the Javadoc for weblogic.security.spi.IdentityAsserter

A dynamic MBean attribute.

false

setActiveTypes

public void setActiveTypes(String[] types)
                    throws InvalidAttributeValueException

Sets the token types that the Identity Assertion provider will process. Only types from the Identity Assertion provider's SupportedTypes attribute may be specified.

Throws:

InvalidAttributeValueException

getActiveTypes()

setBase64DecodingRequired

public void setBase64DecodingRequired(boolean decodingRequired)
                               throws InvalidAttributeValueException

Sets whether the tokens that are passed to the Identity Assertion provider will be will base64 decoded first.

Parameters:

decodingRequired - - the new base64 decoding required value

Throws:

InvalidAttributeValueException
