public class GSSManager extends java.lang.Object
This class implements functionality common to the entire GSS-API package. This includes the management of the gss mechanisms and their providers.- RFC 2078
- A side from JGSS provider management, this class
implements the equivalent of the following GSS-API routines:
- gss_indicate_mechs
- gss_inquire_mechs_for_name
- gss_inquire_name_for_mech

Method Detail
-
getMechs
public static Oid[] getMechs()
Indicates which mechanisms are configured within JGSS.- RFC 2078
- equivalent to gss_indicate_mechs
- Returns:
- array of Oids indicating available mechanisms; null when no mechanism are available
-
getNamesForMech
public static Oid[] getNamesForMech(Oid mech) throws GSSException
Returns name types (Oids) supported by the selected mechanism. Note that in cases where several providers implement the same mechanism, only the first provider implementing the mechanism is queried.- RFC 2078
- equivalent to gss_inquire_names_for_mech
- Parameters:
mech
- the Oid for mechanism to be queried- Returns:
- names array of Oids indicating names supported by the requested mechanism; or null if the mech is not supported
- Throws:
GSSException
- with major code of BAD_MECH will be thrown for invalid mechanism oids
-
getMechsForName
public static Oid[] getMechsForName(Oid nameType)
Returns all the mechanisms that support the specific name type.- RFC 2078
- equivalent to gss_inquire_mechs_for_name
- Parameters:
nameType
- the Oid of the name type to be queried- Returns:
- mechs an array of mechanism Oids supporting the requested name type; null if no mechanism supports the requested name type
-
getDefaultMech
public static Oid getDefaultMech() throws GSSException
Determines the default mechanism. The default mechanism is determined through the setting in the security properties file when the provider is installed or through dynamic configuration of the providers.. The default mech is the first mechanism in the first jgss provider.- Returns:
- the Oid for the default mechanism
- Throws:
GSSException
- with major code set to BAD_MECH if no jgss providers exist.
