Detailed Description

A policy used to verify the security of an incoming message.

Its security mechanisms may be used to examine the transport layer (e.g client certificates and HTTP basic auth passwords) or to check the payload of a request to ensure it meets certain criteria (e.g. valid digital signature, freshness, replay).

Policy objects can be reused, but are not thread-safe.

Member Function Documentation

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::evaluate (  const xmltooling::XMLObject &  message, const xmltooling::GenericRequest *  request = NULL )

Evaluates the policy against the given request and message, possibly populating message information in the policy object. Parameters: message  the incoming message request  the protocol request Exceptions: BindingException  raised if the message/request is invalid according to the supplied rules

time_t opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getIssueInstant (   )  const [inline]

Returns the message timestamp as determined by the registered policies. Returns: message timestamp as determined by the registered policies

const saml2::Issuer* opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getIssuer (   )  const [inline]

Gets the issuer of the message as determined by the registered policies. Returns: issuer of the message as determined by the registered policies

const IssuerMatchingPolicy& opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getIssuerMatchingPolicy (   )  const [inline]

Returns the IssuerMatchingPolicy in effect. Returns: the effective IssuerMatchingPolicy

const saml2md::RoleDescriptor* opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getIssuerMetadata (   )  const [inline]

Gets the metadata for the role the issuer is operating in. Returns: metadata for the role the issuer is operating in

const XMLCh* opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getMessageID (   )  const [inline]

Returns the message identifier as determined by the registered policies. Returns: message identifier as determined by the registered policies

const saml2md::MetadataProvider* opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getMetadataProvider (   )  const [inline]

Returns the locked MetadataProvider supplied to the policy. Returns: the supplied MetadataProvider or NULL

const xmltooling::QName* opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getRole (   )  const [inline]

Returns the peer role element/type supplied to the policy. Returns: the peer role element/type, or an empty QName

std::vector<const SecurityPolicyRule*>& opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getRules (   )  [inline]

Gets a mutable array of installed policy rules. If adding rules, their lifetime must be at least as long as the policy object. Returns: mutable array of rules

const xmltooling::TrustEngine* opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getTrustEngine (   )  const [inline]

Returns the TrustEngine supplied to the policy. Returns: the supplied TrustEngine or NULL

bool opensaml::SecurityPolicy::getValidating (   )  const [inline]

Returns XML message validation setting. Returns: validation flag

bool opensaml::SecurityPolicy::isAuthenticated (   )  const [inline]

Returns the authentication status of the message as determined by the registered policies. Returns: true iff a SecurityPolicyRule has indicated the issuer/message has been authenticated

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::requireEntityIssuer (  bool  entityOnly = true  )  [inline]

Sets flag controlling non-entity issuer support. Parameters: entityOnly  require that Issuer be in entity format

bool opensaml::SecurityPolicy::requireEntityIssuer (   )  const [inline]

Returns flag controlling non-entity issuer support. Returns: flag controlling non-entity issuer support

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::reset (  bool  messageOnly = false  )

Resets the policy object and/or clears any per-message state. Resets can be complete (the default) or merely clear the previous message ID and timestamp when evaluating multiple layers of a message. Parameters: messageOnly  true iff security and issuer state should be left in place

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setAuthenticated (  bool  auth  )  [inline]

Sets the authentication status of the message as determined by the registered policies. Parameters: auth  indicates whether the issuer/message has been authenticated

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setIssueInstant (  time_t  issueInstant  )  [inline]

Sets the message timestamp as determined by the registered policies. Parameters: issueInstant  message timestamp

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setIssuer (  const XMLCh *  issuer  )

Sets the issuer of the message as determined by the registered policies. Parameters: issuer  issuer of the message

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setIssuer (  const saml2::Issuer *  issuer  )

Sets the issuer of the message as determined by the registered policies. Parameters: issuer  issuer of the message

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setIssuerMatchingPolicy (  IssuerMatchingPolicy *  matchingPolicy  )  [inline]

Sets the IssuerMatchingPolicy in effect. Setting no policy will cause the simple, default approach to be used. The matching object will be freed by the SecurityPolicy. Parameters: matchingPolicy  the IssuerMatchingPolicy to use

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setIssuerMetadata (  const saml2md::RoleDescriptor *  issuerRole  )

Sets the metadata for the role the issuer is operating in. Parameters: issuerRole  metadata for the role the issuer is operating in

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setMessageID (  const XMLCh *  id  )  [inline]

Sets the message identifier as determined by the registered policies. Parameters: id  message identifier

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setMetadataProvider (  const saml2md::MetadataProvider *  metadata  )  [inline]

Sets a locked MetadataProvider for the policy. Parameters: metadata  a locked MetadataProvider or NULL

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setRole (  const xmltooling::QName *  role  )  [inline]

Sets a peer role element/type for to the policy. Parameters: role  the peer role element/type or NULL

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setTrustEngine (  const xmltooling::TrustEngine *  trust  )  [inline]

Sets a TrustEngine for the policy. Parameters: trust  a TrustEngine or NULL

void opensaml::SecurityPolicy::setValidating (  bool  validate = true  )  [inline]

Controls schema validation of incoming XML messages. This is separate from other forms of programmatic validation of objects, but can detect a much wider range of syntax errors. Parameters: validate  validation setting
