Interface ClientAuthModule

  • All Superinterfaces:
    ClientAuth

    public interface ClientAuthModule
    extends ClientAuth
    A ClientAuthModule secures request messages, and validates received response messages.

    A module implementation should assume it may be used to secure different requests as different clients. A module should also assume it may be used concurrently by multiple callers. It is the module implementation's responsibility to properly save and restore any state as necessary. A module that does not need to do so may remain completely stateless.

    Every implementation of the interface must provide a public zero argument constructor.

      • initialize

        void initialize(MessagePolicy requestPolicy,
                        MessagePolicy responsePolicy,
                        CallbackHandler handler,
                        Map options)
                 throws AuthException
        Initialize this module with request and response message policies to enforce, a CallbackHandler, and any module-specific configuration properties.

        The request policy and the response policy must not both be null.

        Parameters:
        requestPolicy - The request policy this module must enforce, or null.
        responsePolicy - The response policy this module must enforce, or null.
        handler - CallbackHandler used to request information.
        options - A Map of module-specific configuration properties.
        Throws:
        AuthException - If module initialization fails, including for the case where the options argument contains elements that are not supported by the module.
      • getSupportedMessageTypes

        Class[] getSupportedMessageTypes()
        Get the one or more Class objects representing the message types supported by the module.
        Returns:
        An array of Class objects where each element defines a message type supported by the module. A module should return an array containing at least one element. An empty array indicates that the module will attempt to support any message type. This method never returns null.
