Class PluginAuthenticationHandler

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

AuthenticationHandler

public class PluginAuthenticationHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements AuthenticationHandler

This handler makes it possible to sum the capabilities of two or more handlers types.
Hence, you can design a single handler for each authentication mechanism and decide how many authentication mechanisms to support by simply plugging them here.

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

getPlugins

public java.util.List<AuthenticationHandler> getPlugins()

addPlugin

public void addPlugin(AuthenticationHandler plugin)

setPlugins

public void setPlugins(java.util.List<AuthenticationHandler> plugins)

getActiveHandler

public AuthenticationHandler getActiveHandler()

setActiveHandler

public void setActiveHandler(AuthenticationHandler activeHandler)
