Operations

• getAuthenticationStatus

  Returns current authentication status of the session. If the authentication status value is zero, then no authentication was performed before calling the user defined authentication service. This would be the case where the authentication scheme is implemented entirely in the user's authentication service component (using interface CtsSecurity::AuthService). If the status value is non-zero, it could be a combination of any of the following bit flags.

  Bit Set	Bit Mask	Meaning
  0	AUTH_SSL_SESSION	This session uses SSL but client is not SSL authenticated.
  1	AUTH_SSL_AUTHENTICATED	This session uses SSL and client is SSL authenticated. User credential information can be obtained by instantiating CtsSecurity/UserCredentials component.
  2	AUTH_OS_AUTHENTICATED	This session is authenticated using host OS (or OS domain) username and password.
  3	AUTH_JAGADMIN_AUTHENTICATED	This session is authenticated using username jagadmin and password.
  4	AUTH_FAILED_AUTHENTICATION	Authentication failed.
  5	AUTH_TIMEDOUT	Authentication timed out. This session has been authenticated previously.

      long getAuthenticationStatus
      (
      );
  

• getCallerPrincipal

  This method delegates to the getCallerPrincipal method in the caller principal service (if installed), otherwise to the authentication service (if installed).

      string getCallerPrincipal
      (
      );
  

  If there is no caller principal service or authentication service installed in the server, this method will throw a CORBA::NO_IMPLEMENT exception.

  If the authentication service does not implement the CallerPrincipal interface, this method will throw a CORBA::BAD_OPERATION exception.

• getCallerRoles

  Returns an array of roles that the caller belongs to.

      CtsSecurity::StringSeq getCallerRoles
      (
      );
  

• getHostName

  Returns peer host name.

      string getHostName
      (
      );
  

• getListener

  Not Supported.

      string getListener
      (
      );
  

• getName

  Returns the client user name.

      string getName
      (
      );
  

• getPassword

  Returns client user password.

      string getPassword
      (
      );
  

• getPeerAddress

  Retrieves peer IP address.

      string getPeerAddress
      (
      );
  

• getSessionID

  Not Supported.

      string getSessionID
      (
      );
  

• getSSLSessionInfo

  Returns SSLSessionInfo object. If SSL is not used with the associated object reference, it raises an SSLNotEnabledError exception.

      CtsSecurity::SSLSessionInfo getSSLSessionInfo
      (
      )
      raises (CtsSecurity::SSLNotEnabledError);
  

• isCallerInRole

  Returns true if the caller is authorized for the given roles.

      boolean isCallerInRole
      (
          in string role
      );
  

• isCallerInRoles

  Given an array of roles check if the caller is in them. If 'checkAll' is 'true' then the caller must be in all roles, otherwise only needs to be in one of them.

      boolean isCallerInRoles
      (
          in CtsSecurity::StringSeq roles,
          in boolean checkAll
      );
  

• setName

  Provides a mechanism by which a custom authentication service component can modify the username associated with an authenticated session object.

      void setName
      (
          in string alternate_name
      );
  

  A custom authentication service implements the CtsSecurity/AuthService interface.

  For example, a CORBA client obtains an authenticated session by calling Manager::createSession(user,password). An EJB client obtains an implicit authenticated session by creating an InitialContext.

  In the authentication component, a call to setName with the alternate_name, will force the authenticated session object to inherit the alternate_name.

  This method can only be invoked when the authentication service is executing. If invoked at other times, the method will throw a CORBA::NO_PERMISSION exception.
