Detailed Description

Interface definition for the Authentication elements.

The <Authentication> Element used within a number of X-KRSS requests as the mechanism for authentication a request from a client to the server

It can contain either a standard XML-Signature element (via a KeyBindingAuthentication element) or a straight password (not otherwise protected).

The schema definition for ValidityInterval is as follows :

   <!-- Authentication -->
   <element name="Authentication" type="xkms:AuthenticationType"/>
   <complexType name="AuthenticationType">
      <sequence>
         <element ref="xkms:KeyBindingAuthentication" minOccurs="0"/>
         <element ref="xkms:NotBoundAuthentication" minOccurs="0"/>
      </sequence>
   </complexType>
   <!-- /Authentication -->

Member Function Documentation

virtual DSIGSignature* XKMSAuthentication::addKeyBindingAuthenticationSignature (  canonicalizationMethod  cm = CANON_C14NE_NOC, signatureMethod  sm = SIGNATURE_HMAC, hashMethod  hm = HASH_SHA1 )  [pure virtual]

Add a KeyBindingAuthentication signature to the message. Allows the application to add a new signature into a KeyBindingAuthentication element Returns: the new Signature structure

virtual DSIGSignature* XKMSAuthentication::getKeyBindingAuthenticationSignature (  void   )  const [pure virtual]

Get KeyBindingAuthentication signature construct. A <XKMSAuthentication> can have a <KeyBindingAuthentication> element as an immediate child. This element is used to hold a XML-Signature over the PrototypeKeyBinding. Returns: The signature held in the KeyBindingAuthentication - or NULL if none is set.

virtual XKMSNotBoundAuthentication* XKMSAuthentication::getNotBoundAuthentication (  void   )  const [pure virtual]

Get the NotBoundAuthentication structure. The NotBoundAuthentication element is used to pass a plaintext key along with the request message as the authentication mechanism. Note: The XKMS Spec indicates that this element MUST NOT be used unless there is another form of security being used to wrap the requests - e.g. authenticated SSL. Returns: The NotBoundAuthentication structure (or NULL if none is defined)

virtual void XKMSAuthentication::setNotBoundAuthentication (  const XMLCh *  uri, const XMLCh *  value )  [pure virtual]

Set the NotBoundAuthentication value. Allows applications to set a authentication value Parameters: uri  URI defining the authentication protocol value  Base64 encoded value to set as the authentication value
