<h1 class="topictitle1">Establishing context</h1>
|
|
<div><p>The two communicating peers must establish a security context over
|
|
which they can use per-message services. </p>
|
|
<p>The initiator calls initSecContext() on its context, which returns a token
|
|
to the initiator application. The initiator application transports the
|
|
context token to the acceptor application. The acceptor calls acceptSecContext()
|
|
on its context, specifying the context token received from the initiator.
|
|
Depending on the underlying mechanism and the optional services that the initiator
|
|
selected, acceptSecContext() might produce a token that the acceptor application
|
|
has to forward to the initiator application. The initiator application then
|
|
uses the received token to call initSecContext() one more time.</p>
|
|
<p>An application can make multiple calls to GSSContext.initSecContext() and
|
|
GSSContext.acceptSecContext(). An application can also exchange multiple tokens
|
|
with a peer during context establishment. Hence, the typical method of establishing
|
|
context uses a loop to call GSSContext.initSecContext() or GSSContext.acceptSecContext()
|
|
until the applications establish context.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Example: Establishing context</strong></p>
|
|
<p>The following example illustrates the initiator (foo) side of context establishment:</p>
|
|
<pre> byte array[] inToken = null; // The input token is null for the first call
|
|
int inTokenLen = 0;
|
|
|
|
do {
|
|
byte[] outToken = fooContext.initSecContext(inToken, 0, inTokenLen);
|
|
|
|
if (outToken != null) {
|
|
send(outToken); // transport token to acceptor
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if( !fooContext.isEstablished()) {
|
|
inToken = receive(); // receive token from acceptor
|
|
inTokenLen = inToken.length;
|
|
}
|
|
} while (!fooContext.isEstablished());</pre>
|
|
<p>The following example illustrates the acceptor side of context establishment:</p>
|
|
<pre> // The acceptor code for establishing context may be the following:
|
|
do {
|
|
byte[] inToken = receive(); // receive token from initiator
|
|
byte[] outToken =
|
|
serverAcceptorContext.acceptSecContext(inToken, 0, inToken.length);
|
|
|
|
if (outToken != null) {
|
|
send(outToken); // transport token to initiator
|
|
}
|
|
} while (!serverAcceptorContext.isEstablished());</pre>
