Class ScramClient

java.lang.Object

com.ongres.scram.client.ScramClient

public class ScramClient
extends Object

A class that can be parametrized to generate ScramSessions. This class supports the channel binding and string preparation mechanisms that are provided by module scram-common. The class is fully configurable, including options to selected the desired channel binding, automatically pick the best client SCRAM mechanism based on those supported (advertised) by the server, selecting an externally-provided SecureRandom instance or an external nonceProvider, or choosing the nonce length. This class is thread-safe if the two following conditions are met:

• The SecureRandom used (SecureRandom by default) are thread-safe too. The contract of Random marks it as thread-safe, so inherited classes are also expected to maintain it.
• No external nonceSupplier is provided; or if provided, it is thread-safe.

So this class, once instantiated via the ScramClient.Builder.setup()} method, can serve for multiple users and authentications.

Method Detail

channelBinding

public static ScramClient.PreBuilder1 channelBinding(ScramClient.ChannelBinding channelBinding)
                                              throws IllegalArgumentException

Selects for the client whether to use channel binding. Refer to ScramClient.ChannelBinding documentation for the description of the possible values.

Parameters:

channelBinding - The channel binding setting

Returns:

The next step in the chain (PreBuilder1).

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If channelBinding is null

getStringPreparation

public com.ongres.scram.common.stringprep.StringPreparation getStringPreparation()

getScramMechanism

public com.ongres.scram.common.ScramMechanism getScramMechanism()

supportedMechanisms

public static List<String> supportedMechanisms()

List all the supported SCRAM mechanisms by this client implementation

Returns:

A list of the IANA-registered, SCRAM supported mechanisms

scramSession

public ScramSession scramSession(String user)

Instantiates a ScramSession for the specified user and this parametrized generator.

Parameters:

user - The username of the authentication exchange

Returns:

The ScramSession instance
