org.apache.catalina.realm (Apache Tomcat 8.5.87 API Documentation)

# Package org.apache.catalina.realm

This package contains `Realm` implementations for the various supported realm technologies for authenticating users and identifying their associated roles. The `Realm` that is associated with a web application's `Context` (or a hierarchically superior Container) is used to resolve authentication and role presence questions when a web application uses container managed security as described in the Servlet API Specification.

The implementations share a common base class that supports basic functionality for all of the standard `Realm` implementations.

- Class Summary
  Class | Description
  --- | ---
  CombinedRealm | Realm implementation that contains one or more realms.
  Constants | Deprecated. Unused.
  DataSourceRealm | Implementation of Realm that works with any JDBC JNDI DataSource.
  DigestCredentialHandlerBase | Base implementation for the Tomcat provided `CredentialHandler`s.
  GenericPrincipal | Generic implementation of java.security.Principal that is available for use by `Realm` implementations.
  JAASCallbackHandler | Implementation of the JAAS `CallbackHandler` interface, used to negotiate delivery of the username and credentials that were specified to our constructor.
  JAASMemoryLoginModule | Implementation of the JAAS LoginModule interface, primarily for use in testing `JAASRealm`.
  JAASRealm | Implementation of Realm that authenticates users via the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS).
  JDBCRealm | Deprecated. Will be removed in Tomcat 10 onwards.
  JNDIRealm | Implementation of Realm that works with a directory server accessed via the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) APIs.
  JNDIRealm.JNDIConnection | Class holding the connection to the directory plus the associated non thread safe message formats.
  JNDIRealm.User | A protected class representing a User
  LockOutRealm | This class extends the CombinedRealm (hence it can wrap other Realms) to provide a user lock out mechanism if there are too many failed authentication attempts in a given period of time.
  LockOutRealm.LockRecord |
  MemoryRealm | Simple implementation of Realm that reads an XML file to configure the valid users, passwords, and roles.
  MemoryRuleSet | RuleSet for recognizing the users defined in the XML file processed by `MemoryRealm`.
  MessageDigestCredentialHandler | This credential handler supports the following forms of stored passwords: encodedCredential - a hex encoded digest of the password digested using the configured digest {MD5}encodedCredential - a Base64 encoded MD5 digest of the password {SHA}encodedCredential - a Base64 encoded SHA1 digest of the password {SSHA}encodedCredential - 20 byte Base64 encoded SHA1 digest followed by variable length salt.
  NestedCredentialHandler |
  NullRealm | Minimal Realm implementation that always returns null when an attempt is made to validate a user name and password.
  RealmBase | Simple implementation of Realm that reads an XML file to configure the valid users, passwords, and roles.
  RealmBase.AllRolesMode |
  SecretKeyCredentialHandler |
  UserDatabaseRealm | Implementation of `Realm` that is based on an implementation of `UserDatabase` made available through the JNDI resources configured for this instance of Catalina.
  UserDatabaseRealm.UserDatabasePrincipal |
  X509SubjectDnRetriever | An X509UsernameRetriever that returns a certificate's entire SubjectDN as the username.
