Class KerberosTicket

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Destroyable, Refreshable

    public class KerberosTicket
    extends Object
    implements Destroyable, Refreshable, Serializable
    This class encapsulates a Kerberos ticket and associated information as viewed from the client's point of view. It captures all information that the Key Distribution Center (KDC) sends to the client in the reply message KDC-REP defined in the Kerberos Protocol Specification (RFC 4120).

    All Kerberos JAAS login modules that authenticate a user to a KDC should use this class. Where available, the login module might even read this information from a ticket cache in the operating system instead of directly communicating with the KDC. During the commit phase of the JAAS authentication process, the JAAS login module should instantiate this class and store the instance in the private credential set of a Subject.

    It might be necessary for the application to be granted a PrivateCredentialPermission if it needs to access a KerberosTicket instance from a Subject. This permission is not needed when the application depends on the default JGSS Kerberos mechanism to access the KerberosTicket. In that case, however, the application will need an appropriate ServicePermission.

    Note that this class is applicable to both ticket granting tickets and other regular service tickets. A ticket granting ticket is just a special case of a more generalized service ticket.

      • KerberosTicket

        public KerberosTicket(byte[] asn1Encoding,
                      KerberosPrincipal client,
                      KerberosPrincipal server,
                      byte[] sessionKey,
                      int keyType,
                      boolean[] flags,
                      Date authTime,
                      Date startTime,
                      Date endTime,
                      Date renewTill,
                      InetAddress[] clientAddresses)
        Constructs a KerberosTicket using credentials information that a client either receives from a KDC or reads from a cache.
        Parameters:
        asn1Encoding - the ASN.1 encoding of the ticket as defined by the Kerberos protocol specification.
        client - the client that owns this service ticket
        server - the service that this ticket is for
        sessionKey - the raw bytes for the session key that must be used to encrypt the authenticator that will be sent to the server
        keyType - the key type for the session key as defined by the Kerberos protocol specification.
        flags - the ticket flags. Each element in this array indicates the value for the corresponding bit in the ASN.1 BitString that represents the ticket flags. If the number of elements in this array is less than the number of flags used by the Kerberos protocol, then the missing flags will be filled in with false.
        authTime - the time of initial authentication for the client
        startTime - the time after which the ticket will be valid. This may be null in which case the value of authTime is treated as the startTime.
        endTime - the time after which the ticket will no longer be valid
        renewTill - an absolute expiration time for the ticket, including all renewal that might be possible. This field may be null for tickets that are not renewable.
        clientAddresses - the addresses from where the ticket may be used by the client. This field may be null when the ticket is usable from any address.

        public void refresh()
                     throws RefreshFailedException
        Extends the validity period of this ticket. The ticket will contain a new session key if the refresh operation succeeds. The refresh operation will fail if the ticket is not renewable or the latest allowable renew time has passed. Any other error returned by the KDC will also cause this method to fail. Note: This method is not synchronized with the the accessor methods of this object. Hence callers need to be aware of multiple threads that might access this and try to renew it at the same time.
        Specified by:
        refresh in interface Refreshable
        Throws:
        RefreshFailedException - if the ticket is not renewable, or the latest allowable renew time has passed, or the KDC returns some error.
        See Also:

        public boolean isDestroyed()
        Determines if this ticket has been destroyed.
        Specified by:
        isDestroyed in interface Destroyable
        Returns:

      • toString

        public String toString()
        Description copied from class: Object
        Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

        The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

         getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
         
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        a string representation of the object.
      • equals

        public boolean equals(Object other)
        Compares the specified Object with this KerberosTicket for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a KerberosTicket and the two KerberosTicket instances are equivalent.
        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
        Parameters:
        other - the Object to compare to
        Returns:
        true if the specified object is equal to this KerberosTicket, false otherwise. NOTE: Returns false if either of the KerberosTicket objects has been destroyed.
