Member Function Documentation

◆ authenticate()

OMQ::DefaultQorusRBACAuthenticator::authenticate ( string  user,
string  pass = "" 
)

called to authenticate a user for a connection

This method will only be called if requiresAuthentication() returns True

Parameters
userthe username to authenticate
passthe password for the user
Exceptions
AUTHENTICATION-ERRORthe user cannot be authenticated

◆ authenticateByIP()

OMQ::DefaultQorusRBACAuthenticator::authenticateByIP ( string  ip,
reference< string user 
)

called when the connection requires authentication, but no authentication credentials were supplied, to try to authenticate the connection based on the source IP address

This method will only be called if requiresAuthentication() returns True and no authentication credentials are supplied with the request

Parameters
ipthe IP address of the source connection
usera reference to a string that will be populated with the username to use if the request can be authenticated based on the source IP address
Exceptions
AUTHENTICATION-ERRORthe user cannot be authenticated

◆ authenticateRequest()

*hash<HttpResponseInfo> OMQ::DefaultQorusRBACAuthenticator::authenticateRequest ( HttpListenerInterface  listener,
hash< auto >  hdr,
reference< hash cx 
)

primary method called to authenticate each request

Parameters
listeneran HttpListenerInterface object for the listener serving the request for logging purposes
hdra hash of request headers
cxa reference to the call context hash; set the "user" key to the user name if a user was identified and authorized; this hash will have the following keys:
  • header-info: a hash of information about the request header with the following keys:
    • request-uri: gives the request URI in an HTTP request
    • body-content-type: this is the "Content-Type" header without any charset declaration
    • charset: if there is a charset declaration in the "Content-Type" header, the value is returned in this key
    • close: set to True if the connection should be closed after responding, False if not (as derived from the request header)
    • accept-charset: this key will be set to an appropriate value from any "Accept-Charset" header; if any of "*", "utf8", or "utf-8" are present, then this will be set to "utf8", otherwise it will be set to the first requested character encoding in the list
    • accept-encoding: a hash where keys are values from any "Accept-Encoding" header and the values are True
  • socket: the bind address used to bind the listener ("socket-info" provides more detailed information)
  • socket-info: a hash of socket information for the listening socket (as returned by Qore::Socket::getSocketInfo())
  • peer-info: a hash of socket information for the remote socket (as returned by Qore::Socket::getPeerInfo())
  • url: a hash of broken-down URL information (as returned from Qore::parse_url())
  • id: the unique HTTP connection ID
  • ssl: True if the request was encrypted with HTTPS, False if not
  • listener-id: the HTTP server listener ID (see HttpServer::getListenerInfo())
  • user: the current RBAC username (if any)
  • root_path: the root URL path matched if the request was matched by a URL prefix
Returns
returns NOTHING if there were no errors, otherwise returns a hash with the following keys to indicate an authentication or authorization error:
  • "code": the HTTP response code
  • "body": the error message body
  • "hdr": an optional hash of headers for the error response

Authentication is performed according to Qorus system configuration.

◆ getAuthHeader()

private hash<auto> OMQ::DefaultQorusRBACAuthenticator::getAuthHeader ( )

can be overridden to return a header with 401 Unauthorized responses

Returns
an empty hash

For example to return a header that tells the caller to require basic authentication (which will cause web browsers to show a dialog box asking for a username and password before repeating the request); use the following:

private hash<auto> getAuthHeader() {
return {"WWW-Authenticate": sprintf("Basic realm=%y", getRealm())};
}

◆ getRealm()

string OMQ::DefaultQorusRBACAuthenticator::getRealm ( )

returns the authentication realm as a string

Returns
the authentication realm as a string; the value returned is "Qorus Integration Engine"

◆ requiresAuthentication()

bool OMQ::DefaultQorusRBACAuthenticator::requiresAuthentication ( )

called to check if the connection requires authentication

Returns
True if authentication is enabled, False if not
