Class DIGESTMD5BindRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:
ReadOnlyLDAPRequest, Serializable, CallbackHandler

This class provides a SASL DIGEST-MD5 bind request implementation as described in RFC 2831. The DIGEST-MD5 mechanism can be used to authenticate over an insecure channel without exposing the credentials (although it requires that the server have access to the clear-text password). It is similar to CRAM-MD5, but provides better security by combining random data from both the client and the server, and allows for greater security and functionality, including the ability to specify an alternate authorization identity and the ability to use data integrity or confidentiality protection.

Elements included in a DIGEST-MD5 bind request include:
  • Authentication ID -- A string which identifies the user that is attempting to authenticate. It should be an "authzId" value as described in section 5.2.1.8 of RFC 4513. That is, it should be either "dn:" followed by the distinguished name of the target user, or "u:" followed by the username. If the "u:" form is used, then the mechanism used to resolve the provided username to an entry may vary from server to server.
  • Authorization ID -- An optional string which specifies an alternate authorization identity that should be used for subsequent operations requested on the connection. Like the authentication ID, the authorization ID should use the "authzId" syntax.
  • Realm -- An optional string which specifies the realm into which the user should authenticate.
  • Password -- The clear-text password for the target user.

Example

The following example demonstrates the process for performing a DIGEST-MD5 bind against a directory server with a username of "john.doe" and a password of "password":
 DIGESTMD5BindRequest bindRequest =
      new DIGESTMD5BindRequest("u:john.doe", "password");
 BindResult bindResult;
 try
 {
   bindResult = connection.bind(bindRequest);
   // If we get here, then the bind was successful.
 }
 catch (LDAPException le)
 {
   // The bind failed for some reason.
   bindResult = new BindResult(le.toLDAPResult());
   ResultCode resultCode = le.getResultCode();
   String errorMessageFromServer = le.getDiagnosticMessage();
 }

      Returns:
      The list of allowed qualities of protection that may be used for communication that occurs on the connection after the authentication has completed, in order from most preferred to least preferred.
    • process

      @NotNull protected BindResult process(@NotNull LDAPConnection connection, int depth) throws LDAPException
      Sends this bind request to the target server over the provided connection and returns the corresponding response.
      Specified by:
      process in class BindRequest
      Parameters:
      connection - The connection to use to send this bind request to the server and read the associated response.
      depth - The current referral depth for this request. It should always be one for the initial request, and should only be incremented when following referrals.
      Returns:
      The bind response read from the server.
      Throws:
      LDAPException - If a problem occurs while sending the request or reading the response.
    • getRebindRequest

      Retrieves a bind request that may be used to re-bind using the same credentials authentication type and credentials as previously used to perform the initial bind. This may be used in an attempt to automatically re-establish a connection that is lost, or potentially when following a referral to another directory instance.

      It is recommended that all bind request types which implement this capability be implemented so that the elements needed to create a new request are immutable. If this is not done, then changes made to a bind request object may alter the authentication/authorization identity and/or credentials associated with that request so that a rebind request created from it will not match the original request used to authenticate on a connection.
      Overrides:
      getRebindRequest in class BindRequest
      Parameters:
      host - The address of the directory server to which the connection is established.
      port - The port of the directory server to which the connection is established.
      Returns:
      A bind request that may be used to re-bind using the same authentication type and credentials as previously used to perform the initial bind, or null to indicate that automatic re-binding is not supported for this type of bind request.
