Direct Known Subclasses:
SAMLMDClientCertAuthSecurityHandler

public abstract class BaseClientCertAuthSecurityHandler extends BaseTrustEngineSecurityHandler<X509Credential>
Policy rule that checks if the client cert used to authenticate the request is valid and trusted.

This rule is only evaluated if the supplied HttpServletRequest contains a peer X509Credential as returned via ServletRequestX509CredentialAdapter.

The entity ID used to perform trust evaluation of the X509 credential is first retrieved via getCertificatePresenterEntityID(MessageContext). If this value is non-null, then trust evaluation proceeds on that basis. If trust evaluation using this entity ID is successful, the message context's authentication state will be set to true via setAuthenticatedState(MessageContext, boolean) and processing is terminated. If unsuccessful, a MessageHandlerException is thrown.

If no value was available from getCertificatePresenterEntityID(MessageContext), then rule evaluation will be attempted as described in evaluateCertificateNameDerivedPresenters(X509Credential, MessageContext), based on the currently configured certificate name evaluation options. If this method returns a non-null certificate presenter entity ID, it will be set on the message context by calling setAuthenticatedCertificatePresenterEntityID(MessageContext, String). The message context's authentication state will be set to true via setAuthenticatedState(MessageContext, boolean). Rule processing is then terminated. If the method returns null, the client certificate presenter entity ID and message context authentication state will remain unmodified and rule processing continues.

Finally rule evaluation will proceed as described in evaluateDerivedPresenters(X509Credential, MessageContext). This is primarily an extension point by which subclasses may implement specific custom logic. If this method returns a non-null client certificate presenter entity ID, it will be set via setAuthenticatedCertificatePresenterEntityID(MessageContext, String), the message context's authentication state will be set to true via setAuthenticatedState(MessageContext, boolean) and rule processing is terminated. If the method returns null, the client certificate presenter entity ID and transport authentication state will remain unmodified.

    • doPreInvoke

      protected boolean doPreInvoke(@Nonnull MessageContext messageContext) throws MessageHandlerException
      Called prior to execution, handlers may override this method to perform pre-processing for a request.

      The default impl applies the Predicate set via the AbstractMessageHandler.setActivationCondition(Predicate).

      If false is returned, execution will not proceed.

      Subclasses which override this method should generally invoke the super version of this method first, so that the activation condition will be applied up front, and immediately return false if the super version returns false. This avoids unnecessary execution of the remaining pre-invocation code if the handler ultimately will not execute.

      Overrides:
      doPreInvoke in class BaseTrustEngineSecurityHandler<X509Credential>
      Parameters:
      messageContext - the message context on which to invoke the handler
      Returns:
      true iff execution should proceed
      Throws:
      MessageHandlerException - if there is a problem executing the handler pre-routine
    • doInvoke

      Parameters:
      messageContext - the message context on which to invoke the handler
      Throws:
      MessageHandlerException - if there is an error invoking the handler on the message context
    • doEvaluate

      protected void doEvaluate(@Nonnull X509Credential requestCredential, @Nonnull MessageContext messageContext) throws MessageHandlerException

      Parameters:
      requestCredential - the X509Credential derived from the request

    • getCertificatePresenterEntityID

      @Nullable protected abstract String getCertificatePresenterEntityID(@Nonnull MessageContext messageContext)
      Get the entity ID of the presenter of the client TLS certificate, as will be used for trust evaluation purposes.

      This tends to be performed in a protcol-specific manner, so it is therefore abstract and must be implemented in a concrete subclass.

      Parameters:
      messageContext - the current message context
      Returns:
      the entity ID of the client TLS certificate presenter
    • setAuthenticatedCertificatePresenterEntityID

      protected abstract void setAuthenticatedCertificatePresenterEntityID(@Nonnull MessageContext messageContext, @Nullable String entityID)
      Store the successfully authenticated derived entity ID of the certificate presenter in the message context.

      This tends to be performed in a protocol-specific manner, so it is therefore abstract and must be implemented in a concrete subclass.

      Parameters:
      messageContext - the current message context
      entityID - the successfully authenticated derived entity ID of the client TLS certificate presenter
    • setAuthenticatedState

      protected abstract void setAuthenticatedState(@Nonnull MessageContext messageContext, boolean authenticated)
      Store the indicated message authentication state in the message context.

      This tends to be performed in a protocol-specific manner, so it is therefore abstract and must be implemented in a concrete subclass.

      Parameters:
      messageContext - the current message context
      authenticated - flag indicating what authentication state to store
    • buildCriteriaSet

      @Nullable protected CriteriaSet buildCriteriaSet(@Nullable String entityID, @Nonnull MessageContext messageContext) throws MessageHandlerException
      Subclasses are required to implement this method to build a criteria set for the trust engine according to trust engine and application-specific needs.
      Specified by:
      buildCriteriaSet in class BaseTrustEngineSecurityHandler<X509Credential>
      Parameters:
      entityID - the candidate issuer entity ID which is being evaluated
      messageContext - the message context which is being evaluated
      Returns:
      a newly constructly set of criteria suitable for the configured trust engine
      Throws:
      MessageHandlerException - thrown if criteria set can not be constructed
    • evaluateDerivedPresenters

      @Nullable protected String evaluateDerivedPresenters(@Nonnull X509Credential requestCredential, @Nonnull MessageContext messageContext) throws MessageHandlerException
      Evaluate any candidate presenter entity ID's which may be derived from the credential or other message context information.

      This serves primarily as an extension point for subclasses to implement application-specific logic.

      If multiple derived candidate entity ID's would satisfy the trust engine criteria, the choice of which one to return as the canonical presenter entity ID value is implementation-specific.

      Parameters:
      requestCredential - the X509Credential derived from the request
      messageContext - the message context being evaluated
      Returns:
      a presenter entity ID which was successfully evaluated by the trust engine
      Throws:
      MessageHandlerException - thrown if there is error during processing
    • evaluateCertificateNameDerivedPresenters

      @Nullable protected String evaluateCertificateNameDerivedPresenters(@Nullable X509Credential requestCredential, @Nonnull MessageContext messageContext) throws MessageHandlerException
      Evaluate candidate presenter entity ID's which may be derived from the request credential's entity certificate according to the options supplied via CertificateNameOptions.

      Configured certificate name types are derived as candidate presenter entity ID's and processed in the following order:

      1. The certificate subject DN string as serialized by the X500DNHandler obtained via CertificateNameOptions.getX500DNHandler() and using the output format indicated by CertificateNameOptions.getX500SubjectDNFormat().
      2. Subject alternative names of the types configured via CertificateNameOptions.getSubjectAltNames(). Note that this is a LinkedHashSet, so the order of evaluation is the order of insertion.
      3. The first common name (CN) value appearing in the certificate subject DN.

      The first one of the above which is successfully evaluated by the trust engine using criteria built from BaseTrustEngineSecurityHandler.buildCriteriaSet(String, MessageContext) will be returned.

      Parameters:
      requestCredential - the X509Credential derived from the request
      messageContext - the message context being evaluated
      Returns:
      a certificate presenter entity ID which was successfully evaluated by the trust engine
      Throws:
      MessageHandlerException - thrown if there is error during processing
