@ThreadSafety(level=NOT_THREADSAFE) public final class UnboundIDExternallyProcessedAuthenticationBindRequest extends SASLBindRequest
This class provides support for an UnboundID-proprietary SASL mechanism that may be used to indicate that a user has attempted authentication, whether successfully or not, through some mechanism that is external to the Directory Server. If this mechanism is supported in the server, then attempting to authenticate with it will not change the identity of the client connection, but will perform additional processing that would normally be completed during a more traditional authentication attempt.
NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

This SASL bind request has a mechanism of "UNBOUNDID-EXTERNALLY-PROCESSED-AUTHENTICATION" and must include SASL credentials with the following encoding: 
   ExternallyProcessedAuthenticationCredentials ::= SEQUENCE {
        authenticationID                          [0] OCTET STRING,
        externalMechanismName                     [1] OCTET STRING,
        externalAuthenticationWasSuccessful       [2] BOOLEAN,
        externalAuthenticationFailureReason       [3] OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
        externalAuthenticationWasPasswordBased    [4] BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
        externalAuthenticationWasSecure           [5] BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
        endClientIPAddress                        [6] OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
        additionalAccessLogProperties             [7] SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE {
             propertyName      OCTET STRING,
             propertyValue     OCTET STRING } OPTIONAL,
        ... }


In the event that the external authentication was considered successful, the server will ensure that the target user's account is in a usable state and, if not, will return a failure response. If the external authentication was successful and the user's account is usable, then the server will make any appropriate password policy state updates (e.g., clearing previous authentication failures, updating the user's last login time and IP address, etc.) and return a success result.

In the event that the external authentication was not considered successful, the server may also make corresponding password policy state updates (e.g., incrementing the number of authentication failures and locking the account if appropriate) before returning a failure result.

      Creates a new UNBOUNDID-EXTERNALLY-PROCESSED-AUTHENTICATION bind request with the provided information.
      Parameters:
      authenticationID - The authentication ID that identifies the user for whom the external authentication processing was performed. This should be either "dn:" followed by the DN of the target user's entry, or "u:" followed by a username. This must not be null.

      externalAuthWasSuccessful - Indicates whether the external authentication attempt is considered to have been successful.
      externalAuthFailureReason - The reason that the external authentication attempt was considered a failure. This should be null if the external authentication attempt succeeded, and may be null if the external authentication attempt failed but no failure reason is available.
      externalAuthWasPasswordBased - Indicates whether the external authentication processing involved a password.
      externalAuthWasSecure - Indicates whether the external authentication processing was considered secure. A mechanism should only be considered secure if all credentials were protected in all communication.
      endClientIPAddress - The IPv4 or IPv6 address of the end client involved in the external authentication processing. This may be null if the end client address is not available.
      additionalAccessLogProperties - A map of additional properties that should be recorded in the server's access log for the external authentication attempt. This may be null or empty if no additional access log properties are required.
      controls - The set of controls to include in the request. It may be null or empty if no request controls are needed.

    • getRebindRequest

      @NotNull public UnboundIDExternallyProcessedAuthenticationBindRequest getRebindRequest(@NotNull String host, int port)
      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.
