Authenticate the user making this request, based on the fact that no * login-config has been defined for the container.

* *

This implementation means "login the user even though there is no * self-contained way to establish a security Principal for that user".

* *

This method is called by the AuthenticatorBase super class to * establish a Principal for the user BEFORE the container security * constraints are examined, i.e. it is not yet known whether the user * will eventually be permitted to access the requested resource. * Therefore, it is necessary to always return true to * indicate the user has not failed authentication.

* *

There are two cases:

* * * @param request Request we are processing * @param response Response we are creating * @return boolean to indicate whether the user is authenticated * @exception IOException if an input/output error occurs */ @Override protected boolean doAuthenticate(Request request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException { // Don't try and use SSO to authenticate since there is no auth // configured for this web application if (checkForCachedAuthentication(request, response, true)) { // Save the inherited Principal in this session so it can remain // authenticated until it expires. if (cache) { request.getSessionInternal(true).setPrincipal(request.getPrincipal()); } return true; } // No Principal means the user is not already authenticated // and so will not be assigned any roles. It is safe to // to say the user is now authenticated because access to // protected resources will only be allowed with a matching role. // i.e. SC_FORBIDDEN (403 status) will be generated later. if (containerLog.isDebugEnabled()) containerLog.debug("User authenticated without any roles"); return true; } /** * Return the authentication method, which is vendor-specific and * not defined by HttpServletRequest. */ @Override protected String getAuthMethod() { return "NONE"; } }
