Direct Known Subclasses:

HasRoleFilter, IsAuthenticatedFilter

public abstract class AbstractAuthorizationFilter
extends HttpFilter

Base class for filters that redirect to the OpenID Provider when the user is not authorized.

Requests that are authorized (and pass down the filter chain) are additionally marked with the IS_PRIVATE_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE_NAME attribute.

Subclasses should be installed after the UserFilter.

init

@OverridingMethodsMustInvokeSuper
public void init()
          throws ServletException

Overrides:

init in class GenericFilter

Throws:

ServletException

doFilter

@ForOverride
protected void doFilter(HttpServletRequest req,
 HttpServletResponse res,
 FilterChain chain)
                 throws IOException,
ServletException

Overrides:

doFilter in class HttpFilter

Throws:

IOException

ServletException

isAuthorized

protected abstract boolean isAuthorized(HttpServletRequest req)

Returns whether the user is authorized.

Implementations should only use the requests getUserPrincipal() and/or isUserInRole().

isCallbackServlet

@ForOverride
protected boolean isCallbackServlet(HttpServletRequest req)

Returns whether the request targets a callback servlet, that should be exempted from authorization check.

redirectToAuthenticationEndpoint

@ForOverride
protected void redirectToAuthenticationEndpoint(HttpServletRequest req,
 HttpServletResponse res)
                                         throws IOException,
ServletException

This method is called whenever the user is not authorized and the request is a safe navigation request.

The default implementation simply calls the globally configured AuthenticationRedirector, and allows configuring the authentication request.

Subclasses can override this method to conditionally generate different responses.

Throws:

IOException

ServletException

See Also:

• configureAuthenticationRequest(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, com.nimbusds.openid.connect.sdk.AuthenticationRequest.Builder)
• HasRoleFilter
• sendUnauthorized(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)

configureAuthenticationRequest

@ForOverride
protected void configureAuthenticationRequest(HttpServletRequest req,
 AuthenticationRequest.Builder builder)

Configures the authentication request when redirecting to the OpenID Provider.

This method is called by the AuthenticationRedirector called by redirectToAuthenticationEndpoint(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse).

See Also:

• redirectToAuthenticationEndpoint(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)

sendUnauthorized

@ForOverride
protected void sendUnauthorized(HttpServletRequest req,
 HttpServletResponse res)
                         throws IOException,
ServletException

This method is called whenever is not authorized and the request is not a safe navigation request.

The default implementation simply calls res.sendError(SC_UNAUTHORIZED). This is not strictly HTTP-compliant as it's missing the WWW-Authenticate response header, but is a good way to signal the error to JavaScript clients making an AJAX request.

Throws:

IOException

ServletException
