Class LoginAuthenticationHandler

java.lang.Object
  org.subethamail.smtp.auth.LoginAuthenticationHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

AuthenticationHandler

public class LoginAuthenticationHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements AuthenticationHandler

Implements the SMTP AUTH LOGIN mechanism.
You are only required to plug your UsernamePasswordValidator implementation for username and password validation to take effect.

Constructor Summary

LoginAuthenticationHandler(UsernamePasswordValidator helper)
Creates a new instance of PlainAuthenticationHandler

Method Summary

boolean	auth(java.lang.String clientInput, java.lang.StringBuffer response) Initially called using an input string in the RFC2554 form: "AUTH [initial-response]".
java.util.List<java.lang.String>	getAuthenticationMechanisms() If your handler supports RFC 2554 at some degree, then it must return all the supported mechanisms here.
void	resetState() Since a so-designed handler has its own state, it seems reasonable to enable resetting its state.

Creates a new instance of PlainAuthenticationHandler

Method Detail

getAuthenticationMechanisms

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getAuthenticationMechanisms()

Description copied from interface: AuthenticationHandler

If your handler supports RFC 2554 at some degree, then it must return all the supported mechanisms here.
The order you use to populate the list will be preserved in the output of the EHLO command.
If your handler does not support RFC 2554 at all, return an empty list.

Specified by:

getAuthenticationMechanisms in interface AuthenticationHandler

Returns:

the supported authentication mechanisms as List.

auth

public boolean auth(java.lang.String clientInput,
                    java.lang.StringBuffer response)
             throws RejectException

Description copied from interface: AuthenticationHandler

Initially called using an input string in the RFC2554 form: "AUTH [initial-response]".
This method must provide the correct reply (by filling the response parameter) at each clientInput.

Depending on the authentication mechanism, the handshaking process may require many request-response passes. This method will return true only when the authentication process is finished

Specified by:

auth in interface AuthenticationHandler

Parameters:

clientInput - The client's input.

response - a buffer filled with your response to the client input.

Returns:

true if the authentication process is finished, false otherwise.

Throws:

RejectException - if authentication fails.

resetState

public void resetState()

Description copied from interface: AuthenticationHandler

Since a so-designed handler has its own state, it seems reasonable to enable resetting its state. This can be done, for example, after a "*" client response during the AUTH command processing.

Specified by:

resetState in interface AuthenticationHandler
