Interface OutboundAuthentication

public interface OutboundAuthentication

This interface has to be implemented for achieving the Custom HTTP Authentication on the Outbound. Custom Authenticator can set the authentication headers and read the response from the target service for the initial and the intermediate steps of a multi-step challenge-response authentication protocol. For the final step it is expected that the Custom Authenticator sets only the authentication headers and doesn't read the response or establish the connection with the target service. OSB will send the payload along with the authentication headers in this step.

Following HttpURLConnection methods which will establish the connection to the target service must not be invoked for the last instance of HttpURLConnection created in the custom authentication code:

• connect
• disconnect
• getResponseCode
• getResponseMessage
• getHeader methods
• getContent
• getInputStream
• getOutputStream

Method Details

doOutboundAuthentication

void doOutboundAuthentication(TransportEndPoint tep,
 TransportSender sender,
 Ref serviceAccountRef,
 HttpUrlConnectionFactory connectionFactory)
                       throws TransportException

This method will be invoked by OSB for Custom Outbound Authentication.

Parameters:

tep - TransportEndPoint corresponding to the Business Service

sender - represents the clients making the outbound requests

serviceAccountRef - reference to the Service Account configured for the Custom Authentication on the Business service. Null if there is no service account configured.

connectionFactory - This has methods for retrieving the HttpURLConnection object to the target Business Service. HttpURLConnection will be preconfigured by OSB with the required connection parameters.

TransportException
