public abstract class Authenticator extends Object
The class Authenticator represents an object that knows how to obtain authentication for a network connection. Usually, it will do this by prompting the user for information.Applications use this class by overriding
getPasswordAuthentication()
in a sub-class. This method will typically use the various getXXX() accessor methods to get information about the entity requesting authentication. It must then acquire a username and password either by interacting with the user or through some other non-interactive means. The credentials are then returned as aPasswordAuthentication
return value.An instance of this concrete sub-class is then registered with the system by calling
setDefault(Authenticator)
. When authentication is required, the system will invoke one of the requestPasswordAuthentication() methods which in turn will call the getPasswordAuthentication() method of the registered object.All methods that request authentication have a default implementation that fails.

Method Detail
-
setDefault
public static void setDefault(Authenticator a)
Sets the authenticator that will be used by the networking code when a proxy or an HTTP server asks for authentication.First, if there is a security manager, its
checkPermission
method is called with aNetPermission("setDefaultAuthenticator")
permission. This may result in a java.lang.SecurityException.- Parameters:
a
- The authenticator to be set. If a isnull
then any previously set authenticator is removed.- Throws:
SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and itscheckPermission
method doesn't allow setting the default authenticator.- See Also:
SecurityManager.checkPermission(java.security.Permission)
,NetPermission
-
requestPasswordAuthentication
public static PasswordAuthentication requestPasswordAuthentication(InetAddress addr, int port, String protocol, String prompt, String scheme)
Ask the authenticator that has been registered with the system for a password.First, if there is a security manager, its
checkPermission
method is called with aNetPermission("requestPasswordAuthentication")
permission. This may result in a java.lang.SecurityException.- Parameters:
addr
- The InetAddress of the site requesting authorization, or null if not known.port
- the port for the requested connectionprotocol
- The protocol that's requesting the connection (getRequestingProtocol()
)prompt
- A prompt string for the userscheme
- The authentication scheme- Returns:
- The username/password, or null if one can't be gotten.
- Throws:
SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and itscheckPermission
method doesn't allow the password authentication request.- See Also:
SecurityManager.checkPermission(java.security.Permission)
,NetPermission
-
requestPasswordAuthentication
public static PasswordAuthentication requestPasswordAuthentication(String host, InetAddress addr, int port, String protocol, String prompt, String scheme)
Ask the authenticator that has been registered with the system for a password. This is the preferred method for requesting a password because the hostname can be provided in cases where the InetAddress is not available.First, if there is a security manager, its
checkPermission
method is called with aNetPermission("requestPasswordAuthentication")
permission. This may result in a java.lang.SecurityException.- Parameters:
host
- The hostname of the site requesting authentication.addr
- The InetAddress of the site requesting authentication, or null if not known.port
- the port for the requested connection.protocol
- The protocol that's requesting the connection (getRequestingProtocol()
)prompt
- A prompt string for the user which identifies the authentication realm.scheme
- The authentication scheme- Returns:
- The username/password, or null if one can't be gotten.
- Throws:
SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and itscheckPermission
method doesn't allow the password authentication request.- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
SecurityManager.checkPermission(java.security.Permission)
,NetPermission
-
requestPasswordAuthentication
public static PasswordAuthentication requestPasswordAuthentication(String host, InetAddress addr, int port, String protocol, String prompt, String scheme, URL url, Authenticator.RequestorType reqType)
Ask the authenticator that has been registered with the system for a password.First, if there is a security manager, its
checkPermission
method is called with aNetPermission("requestPasswordAuthentication")
permission. This may result in a java.lang.SecurityException.- Parameters:
host
- The hostname of the site requesting authentication.addr
- The InetAddress of the site requesting authorization, or null if not known.port
- the port for the requested connectionprotocol
- The protocol that's requesting the connection (getRequestingProtocol()
)prompt
- A prompt string for the userscheme
- The authentication schemeurl
- The requesting URL that caused the authenticationreqType
- The type (server or proxy) of the entity requesting authentication.- Returns:
- The username/password, or null if one can't be gotten.
- Throws:
SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and itscheckPermission
method doesn't allow the password authentication request.- Since:
- 1.5

getRequestingHost
protected final String getRequestingHost()
Gets thehostname
of the site or proxy requesting authentication, ornull
if not available.- Returns:
- the hostname of the connection requiring authentication, or null if it's not available.
- Since:
- 1.4
-
getRequestingSite
protected final InetAddress getRequestingSite()
Gets theInetAddress
of the site requesting authorization, ornull
if not available.- Returns:
- the InetAddress of the site requesting authorization, or null if it's not available.
-
getRequestingPort
protected final int getRequestingPort()
Gets the port number for the requested connection.- Returns:
- an
int
indicating the port for the requested connection.
-
getRequestingProtocol
protected final String getRequestingProtocol()
Give the protocol that's requesting the connection. Often this will be based on a URL, but in a future JDK it could be, for example, "SOCKS" for a password-protected SOCKS5 firewall.- Returns:
- the protcol, optionally followed by "/version", where version is a version number.
- See Also:
URL.getProtocol()
-
getRequestingPrompt
protected final String getRequestingPrompt()
Gets the prompt string given by the requestor.- Returns:
- the prompt string given by the requestor (realm for http requests)
-
getRequestingScheme
protected final String getRequestingScheme()
Gets the scheme of the requestor (the HTTP scheme for an HTTP firewall, for example).- Returns:
- the scheme of the requestor
-
getPasswordAuthentication
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
Called when password authorization is needed. Subclasses should override the default implementation, which returns null.- Returns:
- The PasswordAuthentication collected from the user, or null if none is provided.
-
getRequestingURL
protected URL getRequestingURL()
Returns the URL that resulted in this request for authentication.- Returns:
- the requesting URL
- Since:
- 1.5
-
