Class PublicKeyAuthentication

java.lang.Object

com.maverick.sshd.PublicKeyAuthentication

All Implemented Interfaces:

AuthenticationMechanism

public class PublicKeyAuthentication
extends Object
implements AuthenticationMechanism

Provides an AuthenticationMechanism that enables the public key authentication. The current implementation will look for an authorized_keys file in the users home directory which is returned from the com.maverick.sshd.platform.NativeAuthenticationProvider#getHomeDirectory(String) method. The format of this file is identical to that required by OpenSSH.

Method Detail

init

public void init(TransportProtocol transport,
                 AuthenticationProtocol authentication)
          throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

getMethod

public String getMethod()

Description copied from interface: AuthenticationMechanism

Return the SSH method name for this authentication. e.g "password"

Specified by:

getMethod in interface AuthenticationMechanism

Returns:

String

startRequest

public boolean startRequest(String username,
                            byte[] msg)
                     throws IOException

Description copied from interface: AuthenticationMechanism

Start an authentication transaction. If the authentication mechanism is simple and you can determine the result from all information received in the SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST message, you should call the approriate completion methods on the AuthenticationProtocol instance that was passed in the initialization process. The request data varies according to the authentication method.

 if (success)
        authentication.completedAuthentication(method, username, service);
 else
        authentication.failedAuthentication(method);
 

Specified by:

startRequest in interface AuthenticationMechanism

msg - the request data from the SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST message

Returns:

true if the message was processed, otherwise false

Throws:

IOException

processMessage

public boolean processMessage(byte[] msg)
                       throws IOException

Description copied from interface: AuthenticationMechanism

If the SSH protocol authentication method defines additional messages which are sent from the client, they will be passed into your implementation here when received.

Specified by:

processMessage in interface AuthenticationMechanism

Returns:

boolean

Throws:

IOException
