Class DefaultAuthorizationPolicy

java.lang.Object

org.jivesoftware.openfire.auth.DefaultAuthorizationPolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:

AuthorizationPolicy

public class DefaultAuthorizationPolicy
extends Object
implements AuthorizationPolicy

Different clients perform authentication differently, so this policy will authorize any principal to a requested user that match specific conditions that are considered secure defaults for most installations. Keep in mind if a client does not request any username Java copies the authenticated ID to the requested username.

• If the authenticated ID is in the form of a plain username, and the requested user is in the form of a plain username, then the two must be exactly the same.
• If the authenticated ID contains an '@', then the portion before the '@' must match exactly the requested username and the portion after the '@' must match at least one of the following:
  • The XMPP domain of the server
  • The SASL realm of the server
  • Be in the list of acceptable realms
• If the requested username contains an '@' then the portion before the '@' will be considered the requested username only if the portion after the '@' matches the XMPP domain of the server or the portion after the '@' in the authenticated ID, if any.
