This is because there is no guarantee as to how many times the authenticator - method will be called by the security API, and as such it may be invoked multiple times during - a single request. Because of this, any special code that should execute upon a successful or - failed authentication should be written by implementing an event observer.

When called here, the - role name is placed into a temporary list of pre-authenticated roles. Once authentication is successful, - the pre-authenticated roles then become "real" roles, and calling <literal>Identity.hasRole()</literal> - for those roles will then return true. The following sequence diagram represents the list of pre-authenticated - roles as a first class object to show more clearly how it fits in to the authentication process. - - </para> - - <mediaobject> - <imageobject role="fo"> - <imagedata fileref="images/security-addrole.png" align="center" scalefit="1"/> - </imageobject> - <imageobject role="html"> - <imagedata fileref="images/security-addrole.png" align="center"/> - </imageobject> - </mediaobject> - - <para> - If the current session is already authenticated, then calling <literal>Identity.addRole()</literal> will - have the expected effect of immediately granting the specified role to the current user. - </para> - - </sect3> - - <sect3> - <title>Writing an event observer for security-related events</title> - - <para> - Say for example, that upon a successful login that some user statistics must be - updated. This would be done by writing an event observer for the - <literal>org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful</literal> event, like this: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[ @In UserStats userStats; - - @Observer("org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful") - public void updateUserStats() - { - userStats.setLastLoginDate(new Date()); - userStats.incrementLoginCount(); - }]]></programlisting> - - <para> - This observer method can be placed anywhere, even in the Authenticator component itself. - You can find more information about security-related events later in this chapter. - </para> - </sect3> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Writing a login form</title> - - <para> - The <literal>credentials</literal> component provides both <literal>username</literal> and <literal>password</literal> - properties, catering for the most common authentication scenario. These properties can be bound directly to the - username and password fields on a login form. Once these properties are set, calling - <literal>identity.login()</literal> will authenticate the user using the provided credentials. - Here's an example of a simple login form: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XHTML"><![CDATA[<div> - <h:outputLabel for="name" value="Username"/> - <h:inputText id="name" value="#{credentials.username}"/> -</div> - -<div> - <h:outputLabel for="password" value="Password"/> - <h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{credentials.password}"/> -</div> - -<div> - <h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{identity.login}"/> -</div>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Similarly, logging out the user is done by calling <literal>#{identity.logout}</literal>. Calling this - action will clear the security state of the currently authenticated user, and invalidate the user's session. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Configuration Summary</title> - <para> - So to sum up, there are the three easy steps to configure authentication: - </para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - Configure an authentication method in <literal>components.xml</literal>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Write an authentication method. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Write a login form so that the user can authenticate. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Remember Me</title> - - <para> - Seam Security supports the same kind of "Remember Me" functionality that is commonly encountered in many - online web-based applications. It is actually supported in two different "flavours", or modes - the first - mode allows the username to be stored in the user's browser as a cookie, and leaves the entering of the - password up to the browser (many modern browsers are capable of remembering passwords). - </para> - - <para> - The second mode supports the storing of a unique token in a cookie, and allows a user to authenticate - automatically upon returning to the site, without having to provide a password. - </para> - - <warning> - <para> - Automatic client authentication with a persistent cookie stored on the client machine is dangerous. - While convenient for users, any cross-site scripting security hole in your website would have dramatically more - serious effects than usual. Without the authentication cookie, the only cookie to steal for an attacker with XSS - is the cookie of the current session of a user. This means the attack only works when the user has an open session - - which should be a short timespan. However, it is much more attractive and dangerous if an attacker has the possibility - to steal a persistent Remember Me cookie that allows him to login without authentication, at any time. Note that this - all depends on how well you protect your website against XSS attacks - it's up to you to make sure that your website - is 100% XSS safe - a non-trival achievement for any website that allows user input to be rendered on a page. - </para> - - <para> - Browser vendors recognized this issue and introduced a "Remember Passwords" feature - today almost all browsers support - this. Here, the browser remembers the login username and password for a particular website and domain, and fills out the - login form automatically when you don't have an active session with the website. If you as a website designer then offer - a convenient login keyboard shortcut, this approach is almost as convenient as a "Remember Me" cookie and much safer. - Some browsers (e.g. Safari on OS X) even store the login form data in the encrypted global operation system keychain. - Or, in a networked environment, the keychain can be transported with the user (between laptop and desktop for example), - while browser cookies are usually not synchronized. - </para> - - <para> - To summarize: While everyone is doing it, persistent "Remember Me" cookies with automatic authentication are a bad - practice and should not be used. Cookies that "remember" only the users login name, and fill out the login form with - that username as a convenience, are not an issue. - </para> - </warning> - - <para> - To enable the remember me feature for the default (safe, username only) mode, no special configuration is required. - In your login form, simply bind the remember me checkbox to <literal>rememberMe.enabled</literal>, like in the following - example: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XHTML"><![CDATA[ <div> - <h:outputLabel for="name" value="User name"/> - <h:inputText id="name" value="#{credentials.username}"/> - </div> - - <div> - <h:outputLabel for="password" value="Password"/> - <h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{credentials.password}" redisplay="true"/> - </div> - - <div class="loginRow"> - <h:outputLabel for="rememberMe" value="Remember me"/> - <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="rememberMe" value="#{rememberMe.enabled}"/> - </div>]]></programlisting> - - <sect3> - <title>Token-based Remember-me Authentication</title> - - <para> - To use the automatic, token-based mode of the remember me feature, you must first configure a token store. The - most common scenario is to store these authentication tokens within a database (which Seam supports), however it - is possible to implement your own token store by implementing the <literal>org.jboss.seam.security.TokenStore</literal> - interface. This section will assume you will be using the provided <literal>JpaTokenStore</literal> implementation - to store authentication tokens inside a database table. - </para> - - <para> - The first step is to create a new Entity which will contain the tokens. The following example shows a possible - structure that you may use: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[@Entity -public class AuthenticationToken implements Serializable { - private Integer tokenId; - private String username; - private String value; - - @Id @GeneratedValue - public Integer getTokenId() { - return tokenId; - } - - public void setTokenId(Integer tokenId) { - this.tokenId = tokenId; - } - - @TokenUsername - public String getUsername() { - return username; - } - - public void setUsername(String username) { - this.username = username; - } - - @TokenValue - public String getValue() { - return value; - } - - public void setValue(String value) { - this.value = value; - } -}]]></programlisting> - - <para> - As you can see from this listing, a couple of special annotations, <literal>@TokenUsername</literal> and - <literal>@TokenValue</literal> are used to configure the username and token properties of the entity. These - annotations are required for the entity that will contain the authentication tokens. - </para> - - <para> - The next step is to configure <literal>JpaTokenStore</literal> to use this entity bean to store and retrieve - authentication tokens. This is done in <literal>components.xml</literal> by specifying the <literal>token-class</literal> - attribute: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[ - <security:jpa-token-store token-class="org.jboss.seam.example.seamspace.AuthenticationToken"/> - ]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Once this is done, the last thing to do is to configure the <literal>RememberMe</literal> component in - <literal>components.xml</literal> also. Its <literal>mode</literal> should be set to <literal>autoLogin</literal>: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[ <security:remember-me mode="autoLogin"/> - ]]></programlisting> - - <para> - That is all that is required - automatic authentication will now occur for users revisiting your site (as long as they - check the "remember me" checkbox). - </para> - - <para> - To ensure that users are automatically authenticated when returning to the site, the following section - should be placed in components.xml: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[ <event type="org.jboss.seam.security.notLoggedIn"> - <action execute="#{redirect.captureCurrentView}"/> - <action execute="#{identity.tryLogin()}"/> - </event> - <event type="org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful"> - <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView}"/> - </event>]]></programlisting> - - </sect3> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Handling Security Exceptions</title> - - <para> - To prevent users from receiving the default error page in response to a security error, it's recommended that - <literal>pages.xml</literal> is configured to redirect security errors to a more "pretty" page. The two - main types of exceptions thrown by the security API are: - </para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>NotLoggedInException</literal> - This exception is thrown if the user attempts to access a - restricted action or page when they are not logged in. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>AuthorizationException</literal> - This exception is only thrown if the user is already logged in, - and they have attempted to access a restricted action or page for which they do not have the necessary - privileges. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - <para> - In the case of a <literal>NotLoggedInException</literal>, it is recommended that the user is redirected to - either a login or registration page so that they can log in. For an <literal>AuthorizationException</literal>, - it may be useful to redirect the user to an error page. Here's an example of a <literal>pages.xml</literal> - file that redirects both of these security exceptions: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[<pages> - - ... - - <exception class="org.jboss.seam.security.NotLoggedInException"> - <redirect view-id="/login.xhtml"> - <message>You must be logged in to perform this action</message> - </redirect> - </exception> - - <exception class="org.jboss.seam.security.AuthorizationException"> - <end-conversation/> - <redirect view-id="/security_error.xhtml"> - <message>You do not have the necessary security privileges to perform this action.</message> - </redirect> - </exception> - -</pages>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Most web applications require even more sophisticated handling of login redirection, so - Seam includes some special functionality for handling this problem. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Login Redirection</title> - - <para> - You can ask Seam to redirect the user to a login screen when an unauthenticated user tries - to access a particular view (or wildcarded view id) as follows: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[<pages login-view-id="/login.xhtml"> - - <page view-id="/members/*" login-required="true"/> - - ... - -</pages>]]></programlisting> - - <tip> - <para> - This is less of a blunt instrument than the exception handler shown above, but should - probably be used in conjunction with it. - </para> - </tip> - - <para> - After the user logs in, we want to automatically send them back where they came from, so - they can retry the action that required logging in. If you add the following event listeners - to <literal>components.xml</literal>, attempts to access a restricted view while not logged - in will be remembered, so that upon the user successfully logging in they will be redirected - to the originally requested view, with any page parameters that existed in the original - request. - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[<event type="org.jboss.seam.security.notLoggedIn"> - <action execute="#{redirect.captureCurrentView}"/> -</event> - -<event type="org.jboss.seam.security.postAuthenticate"> - <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView}"/> -</event>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Note that login redirection is implemented as a conversation-scoped mechanism, so don't end - the conversation in your <literal>authenticate()</literal> method. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>HTTP Authentication</title> - - <para> - Although not recommended for use unless absolutely necessary, Seam provides means for authenticating - using either HTTP Basic or HTTP Digest (RFC 2617) methods.

Here is an example: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[ - public boolean authenticate() - { - try - { - User user = (User) entityManager.createQuery( - "from User where username = :username") - .setParameter("username", identity.getUsername()) - .getSingleResult(); - - return validatePassword(user.getPassword()); - } - catch (NoResultException ex) - { - return false; - } - } - ]]></programlisting> - </sect3> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Advanced Authentication Features</title> - - <para> - This section explores some of the advanced features provided by the security API for addressing more complex - security requirements. - </para> - - <sect3> - <title>Using your container's JAAS configuration</title> - - <para> - If you would rather not use the simplified JAAS configuration provided by the Seam Security API, you may - instead delegate to the default system JAAS configuration by providing a <literal>jaas-config-name</literal> - property in <literal>components.xml</literal>. For example, if you are using JBoss AS and wish to use - the <literal>other</literal> policy (which uses the <literal>UsersRolesLoginModule</literal> login module - provided by JBoss AS), then the entry in <literal>components.xml</literal> would look like this: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[<security:identity jaas-config-name="other"/>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Please keep in mind that doing this does not mean that your user will be authenticated in whichever - container your Seam application is deployed in.

This means that it is possible for users to - be authenticated against one identity store, for example an LDAP directory, yet have their roles - loaded from another identity store, such as a relational database. - </para> - - <para> - Seam provides two <literal>IdentityStore</literal> implementations out of the box; - <literal>JpaIdentityStore</literal> uses a relational database to store user and role information, - and is the default identity store that is used if nothing is explicitly configured in the - <literal>identityManager</literal> component. The other implementation that is provided is - <literal>LdapIdentityStore</literal>, which uses an LDAP directory to store users and roles. - </para> - - <para> - There are two configurable properties for the <literal>identityManager</literal> component - - <literal>identityStore</literal> and <literal>roleIdentityStore</literal>. The value for these - properties must be an EL expression referring to a Seam component implementing the - <literal>IdentityStore</literal> interface. As already mentioned, - if left unconfigured then <literal>JpaIdentityStore</literal> will be assumed by default. If - only the <literal>identityStore</literal> property is configured, then the same value will be used for - <literal>roleIdentityStore</literal> also. For example, the following entry in - <literal>components.xml</literal> will configure <literal>identityManager</literal> to use - an <literal>LdapIdentityStore</literal> for both user-related and role-related operations: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[ - <security:identity-manager identity-store="#{ldapIdentityStore}"/> - ]]></programlisting> - - <para> - The following example configures <literal>identityManager</literal> to use an <literal>LdapIdentityStore</literal> - for user-related operations, and <literal>JpaIdentityStore</literal> for role-related operations: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[ - <security:identity-manager - identity-store="#{ldapIdentityStore}" - role-identity-store="#{jpaIdentityStore}"/> - ]]></programlisting> - - <para> - The following sections explain both of these identity store implementations in greater detail. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>JpaIdentityStore</title> - - <para> - This identity store allows for users and roles to be stored inside a relational database.

They are simple constructs, consisting - of just a name such as "admin", "user", "customer", etc. They can be granted either to users (or in some cases to other - roles), and are used to create logical groups of users for the convenient assignment of specific application privileges. - </para> - - <mediaobject> - <imageobject role="fo"> - <imagedata fileref="images/security-roleclass.png" align="center"/> - </imageobject> - <imageobject role="html"> - <imagedata fileref="images/security-roleclass.png" align="center"/> - </imageobject> - </mediaobject> - </sect3> - - <sect3> - <title>What is a permission?</title> - - <para> - A permission is a privilege (sometimes once-off) for performing a single, specific action. It is entirely possible to - build an application using nothing but permissions, however roles offer a higher level of convenience when granting - privileges to groups of users. They are slightly more complex in structure than roles, essentially consisting of three - "aspects"; a target, an action, and a recipient. The target of a permission is the object (or an arbitrary name or class) - for which a particular action is allowed to be performed by a specific recipient (or user). For example, the user "Bob" - may have permission to delete customer objects. In this case, the permission target may be "customer", the permission - action would be "delete" and the recipient would be "Bob". - </para> - - - <mediaobject> - <imageobject role="fo"> - <imagedata fileref="images/security-permissionclass.png" align="center"/> - </imageobject> - <imageobject role="html"> - <imagedata fileref="images/security-permissionclass.png" align="center"/> - </imageobject> - </mediaobject> - - <para> - Within this documentation, permissions are generally represented in the form <literal>target:action</literal> - (omitting the recipient, although in reality one is always required). - </para> - </sect3> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Securing components</title> - - <para> - Let's start by examining the simplest form of authorization, component security, starting with the - <literal>@Restrict</literal> annotation. - </para> - - <note> - <title>@Restrict vs Typesafe security annotations</title> - - <para> - While using the <literal>@Restrict</literal> annotation provides a powerful and flexible method for security component methods - due to its ability to support EL expressions, it is recommended that the typesafe equivalent (described later) be - used, at least for the compile-time safety it provides. - </para> - </note> - - <sect3> - <title>The @Restrict annotation</title> - - <para> - Seam components may be secured either at the method or the class level, using the <literal>@Restrict</literal> - annotation. If both a method and it's declaring class are annotated with <literal>@Restrict</literal>, - the method restriction will take precedence (and the class restriction will not apply). If a method - invocation fails a security check, then an exception will be thrown as per the contract for - <literal>Identity.checkRestriction()</literal> (see Inline Restrictions). A <literal>@Restrict</literal> - on just the component class itself is equivalent to adding <literal>@Restrict</literal> to each of its - methods. - </para> - - <para> - An empty <literal>@Restrict</literal> implies a permission check of <literal>componentName:methodName</literal>. - Take for example the following component method: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[@Name("account") -public class AccountAction { - @Restrict public void delete() { - ... - } -}]]></programlisting> - - <para> - In this example, the implied permission required to call the <literal>delete()</literal> method is - <literal>account:delete</literal>. The equivalent of this would be to write - <literal>@Restrict("#{s:hasPermission('account','delete')}")</literal>. Now let's look at - another example: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[@Restrict @Name("account") -public class AccountAction { - public void insert() { - ... - } - @Restrict("#{s:hasRole('admin')}") - public void delete() { - ... - } -}]]></programlisting> - - <para> - This time, the component class itself is annotated with <literal>@Restrict</literal>. This means that - any methods without an overriding <literal>@Restrict</literal> annotation require an implicit permission check. - In the case of this example, the <literal>insert()</literal> method requires a permission of - <literal>account:insert</literal>, while the <literal>delete()</literal> method requires that the user is a - member of the <literal>admin</literal> role. - </para> - - <para> - Before we go any further, let's address the <literal>#{s:hasRole()}</literal> expression seen in the above - example. Both <literal>s:hasRole</literal> and <literal>s:hasPermission</literal> are EL functions, which - delegate to the correspondingly named methods of the <literal>Identity</literal> class. These - functions can be used within any EL expression throughout the entirety of the security API. - </para> - - <para> - Being an EL expression, the value of the <literal>@Restrict</literal> annotation may reference any objects that - exist within a Seam context. This is extremely useful when performing permission checks for a specific - object instance. Look at this example: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[@Name("account") -public class AccountAction { - @In Account selectedAccount; - @Restrict("#{s:hasPermission(selectedAccount,'modify')}") - public void modify() { - selectedAccount.modify(); - } -}]]></programlisting> - - <para> - The interesting thing to note from this example is the reference to <literal>selectedAccount</literal> - seen within the <literal>hasPermission()</literal> function call. The value of this variable will be - looked up from within the Seam context, and passed to the <literal>hasPermission()</literal> method - in <literal>Identity</literal>, which in this case can then determine if the user has the required - permission for modifying the specified <literal>Account</literal> object. - </para> - </sect3> - - <sect3> - <title>Inline restrictions</title> - <para> - Sometimes it might be desirable to perform a security check in code, without using the - <literal>@Restrict</literal> annotation. In this situation, simply use - <literal>Identity.checkRestriction()</literal> to evaluate a security expression, like this: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[public void deleteCustomer() { - Identity.instance().checkRestriction("#{s:hasPermission(selectedCustomer,'delete')}"); -}]]></programlisting> - - <para> - If the expression specified doesn't evaluate to <literal>true</literal>, either - </para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - if the user is not logged in, a <literal>NotLoggedInException</literal> - exception is thrown or - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - if the user is logged in, an <literal>AuthorizationException</literal> - exception is thrown. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - <para> - It is also possible to call the <literal>hasRole()</literal> and <literal>hasPermission()</literal> - methods directly from Java code: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[if (!Identity.instance().hasRole("admin")) - throw new AuthorizationException("Must be admin to perform this action"); - -if (!Identity.instance().hasPermission("customer", "create")) - throw new AuthorizationException("You may not create new customers");]]></programlisting> - - </sect3> - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Security in the user interface</title> - - <para> - One indication of a well designed user interface is that the user is not presented with options for - which they don't have the necessary privileges to use. Seam Security allows conditional rendering of - either 1) sections of a page or 2) individual controls, based upon the privileges of the user, using - the very same EL expressions that are used for component security. - </para> - - <para> - Let's take a look at some examples of interface security. First of all, let's pretend that we have a - login form that should only be rendered if the user is not already logged in. Using the - <literal>identity.isLoggedIn()</literal> property, we can write this: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XHTML"><![CDATA[<h:form class="loginForm" rendered="#{not identity.loggedIn}">]]></programlisting> - - <para> - If the user isn't logged in, then the login form will be rendered - very straight forward so far. - Now let's pretend there is a menu on the page that contains some actions which should only be accessible - to users in the <literal>manager</literal> role. Here's one way that these could be written: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XHTML"><![CDATA[<h:outputLink action="#{reports.listManagerReports}" rendered="#{s:hasRole('manager')}"> - Manager Reports -</h:outputLink>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - This is also quite straight forward. If the user is not a member of the <literal>manager</literal> - role, then the outputLink will not be rendered. The <literal>rendered</literal> attribute can - generally be used on the control itself, or on a surrounding <literal><s:div></literal> or - <literal><s:span></literal> control. - </para> - - <para> - Now for something more complex. Let's say you have a <literal>h:dataTable</literal> control on a - page listing records for which you may or may not wish to render action links depending on the - user's privileges. The <literal>s:hasPermission</literal> EL function allows us to pass in an - object parameter which can be used to determine whether the user has the requested permission - for that object or not. Here's how a dataTable with secured links might look: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XHTML"><![CDATA[<h:dataTable value="#{clients}" var="cl"> - <h:column> - <f:facet name="header">Name</f:facet> - #{cl.name} - </h:column> - <h:column> - <f:facet name="header">City</f:facet> - #{cl.city} - </h:column> - <h:column> - <f:facet name="header">Action</f:facet> - <s:link value="Modify Client" action="#{clientAction.modify}" - rendered="#{s:hasPermission(cl,'modify')}"/> - <s:link value="Delete Client" action="#{clientAction.delete}" - rendered="#{s:hasPermission(cl,'delete')}"/> - </h:column> -</h:dataTable>]]></programlisting> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Securing pages</title> - <para> - Page security requires that the application is using a <literal>pages.xml</literal> file, however is - extremely simple to configure. Simply include a <literal><restrict/></literal> element within - the <literal>page</literal> elements that you wish to secure. If no explicit restriction is specified - by the <literal>restrict</literal> element, an implied permission of <literal>/viewId.xhtml:render</literal> - will be checked when the page is accessed via a non-faces (GET) request, and a permission of - <literal>/viewId.xhtml:restore</literal> will be required when any JSF postback (form submission) originates - from the page. Otherwise, the specified restriction will be evaluated as a standard security expression. - Here's a couple of examples: - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[<page view-id="/settings.xhtml"> - <restrict/> -</page>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - This page has an implied permission of <literal>/settings.xhtml:render</literal> required for non-faces - requests and an implied permission of <literal>/settings.xhtml:restore</literal> for faces requests. - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[<page view-id="/reports.xhtml"> - <restrict>#{s:hasRole('admin')}</restrict> -</page>]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Both faces and non-faces requests to this page require that the user is a member of the - <literal>admin</literal> role. - </para> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Securing Entities</title> - - <para> - Seam security also makes it possible to apply security restrictions to read, insert, update and - delete actions for entities. - </para> - - <para> - To secure all actions for an entity class, add a <literal>@Restrict</literal> annotation on the class - itself: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[@Entity -@Name("customer") -@Restrict -public class Customer { - ... -}]]></programlisting> - - <para> - If no expression is specified in the <literal>@Restrict</literal> annotation, the default security check - that is performed is a permission check of <literal>entity:action</literal>, where the permission target - is the entity instance, and the <literal>action</literal> is either <literal>read</literal>, <literal>insert</literal>, - <literal>update</literal> or <literal>delete</literal>. - </para> - - <para> - It is also possible to only restrict certain actions, by placing a <literal>@Restrict</literal> annotation - on the relevent entity lifecycle method (annotated as follows): - </para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>@PostLoad</literal> - Called after an entity instance is loaded from the database.

Usually this file would be named something like - <literal>security.drl</literal>, however you can name it whatever you like as long as it is configured - correspondingly in <literal>components.xml</literal>. - </para> - - <para> - So what should the security rules file contain? At this stage it might be a good idea to at least skim - through the Drools documentation, however to get started here's an extremely simple example: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[package MyApplicationPermissions; - - import org.jboss.seam.security.permission.PermissionCheck; - import org.jboss.seam.security.Role; - - rule CanUserDeleteCustomers - when - c: PermissionCheck(target == "customer", action == "delete") - Role(name == "admin") - then - c.grant(); - end]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Let's break this down step by step. The first thing we see is the package declaration. A package in Drools - is essentially a collection of rules. The package name can be anything you want - it doesn't relate - to anything else outside the scope of the rule base. - </para> - - <para> - The next thing we can notice is a couple of import statements for the <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> - and <literal>Role</literal> classes. These imports inform the rules engine that we'll be referencing - these classes within our rules. - </para> - - <para> - Finally we have the code for the rule. Each rule within a package should be given a unique name (usually - describing the purpose of the rule). In this case our rule is called <literal>CanUserDeleteCustomers</literal> - and will be used to check whether a user is allowed to delete a customer record. - </para> - - <para> - Looking at the body of the rule definition we can notice two distinct sections. Rules have what is known - as a left hand side (LHS) and a right hand side (RHS). The LHS consists of the conditional part of the - rule, i.e. a list of conditions which must be satisfied for the rule to fire. The LHS is represented by - the <literal>when</literal> section. The RHS is the consequence, or action section of the rule that will - only be fired if all of the conditions in the LHS are met. The RHS is represented by the - <literal>then</literal> section. The end of the rule is denoted by the <literal>end</literal> line. - </para> - - <para> - If we look at the LHS of the rule, we see two conditions listed there. Let's examine the first condition: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[c: PermissionCheck(target == "customer", action == "delete")]]></programlisting> - - <para> - In plain english, this condition is stating that there must exist a <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> object - with a <literal>target</literal> property equal to "customer", and an <literal>action</literal> property equal - to "delete" within the working memory. - </para> - - <para> - So what is the working memory? Also known as a "stateful session" in Drools terminology, the working memory - is a session-scoped object that contains the contextual information that is required by the rules engine to - make a decision about a permission check. Each time the <literal>hasPermission()</literal> method is called, - a temporary <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> object, or <emphasis>Fact</emphasis>, is inserted into the - working memory. This <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> corresponds exactly to the permission that is being - checked, so for example if you call <literal>hasPermission("account", "create")</literal> then a - <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> object with a <literal>target</literal> equal to "account" and - <literal>action</literal> equal to "create" will be inserted into the working memory for the duration of the - permission check. - </para> - - <para> - Besides the <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> facts, there is also a <literal>org.jboss.seam.security.Role</literal> - fact for each of the roles that the authenticated user is a member of. These <literal>Role</literal> facts - are synchronized with the user's authenticated roles at the beginning of every permission check. As a consequence, - any <literal>Role</literal> object that is inserted into the working memory during the course of a permission - check will be removed before the next permission check occurs, if the authenticated user is not actually a member of - that role. Besides the <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> and <literal>Role</literal> facts, the working - memory also contains the <literal>java.security.Principal</literal> object that was created as a result of - the authentication process. - </para> - - <para> - It is also possible to insert additional long-lived facts into the working memory by calling - <literal>RuleBasedPermissionResolver.instance().getSecurityContext().insert()</literal>, - passing the object as a parameter. The exception to this is <literal>Role</literal> objects, which as - already discussed are synchronized at the start of each permission check. - </para> - - <para> - Getting back to our simple example, we can also notice that the first line of our LHS is prefixed with - <literal>c:</literal>. This is a variable binding, and is used to refer back to the object that is - matched by the condition (in this case, the <literal>PermissionCheck</literal>). Moving on to the - second line of our LHS, we see this: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[Role(name == "admin")]]></programlisting> - - <para> - This condition simply states that there must be a <literal>Role</literal> object with a - <literal>name</literal> of "admin" within the working memory. As already mentioned, user roles are inserted into - the working memory at the beginning of each permission check. So, putting both conditions together, this - rule is essentially saying "I will fire if you are checking for the <literal>customer:delete</literal> - permission and the user is a member of the <literal>admin</literal> role". - </para> - - <para> - So what is the consequence of the rule firing? Let's take a look at the RHS of the rule: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[c.grant()]]></programlisting> - - <para> - The RHS consists of Java code, and in this case is invoking the <literal>grant()</literal> - method of the <literal>c</literal> object, which as already mentioned is a variable binding - for the <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> object. Besides the <literal>name</literal> and - <literal>action</literal> properties of the <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> object, there - is also a <literal>granted</literal> property which is initially set to <literal>false</literal>. - Calling <literal>grant()</literal> on a <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> sets the - <literal>granted</literal> property to <literal>true</literal>, which means that the permission - check was successful, allowing the user to carry out whatever action the permission check was - intended for. - </para> - </sect3> - - <sect3> - <title>Non-String permission targets</title> - - <para> - So far we have only seen permission checks for String-literal permission targets. It is of course also - possible to write security rules for permission targets of more complex types. For example, let's say that you wish - to write a security rule to allow your users to create blog comments. The following rule demonstrates - how this may be expressed, by requiring the target of the permission check to be an instance of - <literal>MemberBlog</literal>, and also requiring that the currently authenticated user is a member of the - <literal>user</literal> role: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[rule CanCreateBlogComment - no-loop - activation-group "permissions" -when - blog: MemberBlog() - check: PermissionCheck(target == blog, action == "create", granted == false) - Role(name == "user") -then - check.grant(); -end -]]></programlisting> - - </sect3> - - <sect3> - <title>Wildcard permission checks</title> - - <para> - It is possible to implement a wildcard permission check (which allows all actions for a given permission - target), by omitting the <literal>action</literal> constraint for the <literal>PermissionCheck</literal> in - your rule, like this: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[rule CanDoAnythingToCustomersIfYouAreAnAdmin -when - c: PermissionCheck(target == "customer") - Role(name == "admin") -then - c.grant(); -end; - ]]></programlisting> - - <para> - This rule allows users with the <literal>admin</literal> role to perform <emphasis>any</emphasis> action for - any <literal>customer</literal> permission check. - </para> - - </sect3> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>PersistentPermissionResolver</title> - - <para> - Another built-in permission resolver provided by Seam, <literal>PersistentPermissionResolver</literal> - allows permissions to be loaded from persistent storage, such as a relational database. This permission - resolver provides ACL style instance-based security, allowing for specific object permissions to be assigned - to individual users and roles. It also allows for persistent, arbitrarily-named permission targets (not - necessarily object/class based) to be assigned in the same way. - </para> - - <sect3> - <title>Configuration</title> - - <para> - Before it can be used, <literal>PersistentPermissionResolver</literal> must be configured with a - valid <literal>PermissionStore</literal> in <literal>components.xml</literal>. If not configured, - it will attempt to use the default permission store, <literal>JpaIdentityStore</literal> (see section - further down for details). To use a permission store other than the default, configure the - <literal>permission-store</literal> property as follows: - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[ <security:persistent-permission-resolver permission-store="#{myCustomPermissionStore}"/>]]></programlisting> - - </sect3> - - <sect3> - <title>Permission Stores</title> - - <para> - A permission store is required for <literal>PersistentPermissionResolver</literal> to connect to the - backend storage where permissions are persisted.

Obviously - for a large number of allowable actions for any particular target class, the storage required for the permission records - is greatly reduced by using bitmasked actions. - </para> - - <para> - Obviously, it is very important that the <literal>mask</literal> values specified are powers of 2. - </para> - </sect4> - - <sect4> - <title>Identifier Policy</title> - - <para> - When storing or looking up permissions, <literal>JpaPermissionStore</literal> must be able to uniquely identify specific - object instances to effectively operate on its permissions. To achieve this, an <emphasis>identifier strategy</emphasis> - may be assigned to each target class for the generation of unique identifier values. Each identifier strategy - implementation knows how to generate unique identifiers for a particular type of class, and it is a simple matter to - create new identifier strategies. - </para> - - <para> - The <literal>IdentifierStrategy</literal> interface is very simple, declaring only two methods: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[public interface IdentifierStrategy { - boolean canIdentify(Class targetClass); - String getIdentifier(Object target); -}]]></programlisting> - - <para> - The first method, <literal>canIdentify()</literal> simply returns <literal>true</literal> if the identifier strategy - is capable of generating a unique identifier for the specified target class.

If there is no - <literal>name</literal> property provided, then it will attempt to use the component name of the class - (if the class is a Seam component), or as a last resort it will create an identifier based on the name - of the class (excluding the package name). For example, the identifier for the following class will - be "<literal>customer</literal>": - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[@Identifier(name = "customer") -public class Customer {]]></programlisting> - - <para> - The identifier for the following class will be "<literal>customerAction</literal>": - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[@Name("customerAction") -public class CustomerAction { ]]></programlisting> - - <para> - Finally, the identifier for the following class will be "<literal>Customer</literal>": - </para> - - <programlisting><![CDATA[public class Customer { ]]></programlisting> - - </sect4> - - <sect4> - <title>EntityIdentifierStrategy</title> - - <para> - This identifier strategy is used to generate unique identifiers for entity beans. It does so by - concatenating the entity name (or otherwise configured name) with a string representation of the - primary key value of the entity. The rules for generating the name section of the identifier are - similar to <literal>ClassIdentifierStrategy</literal>. The primary key value (i.e. the - <emphasis>id</emphasis> of the entity) is obtained using the <literal>PersistenceProvider</literal> - component, which is able to correctly determine the value regardless of which persistence implementation - is used within the Seam application. For entities not annotated with <literal>@Entity</literal>, it is - necessary to explicitly configure the identifier strategy on the entity class itself, for example: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[@Identifier(value = EntityIdentifierStrategy.class) -public class Customer { ]]></programlisting> - - <para> - For an example of the type of identifier values generated, assume we have the following entity class: - </para> - - <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[@Entity -public class Customer { - private Integer id; - private String firstName; - private String lastName; - - @Id - public Integer getId() { return id; } - public void setId(Integer id) { this.id = id; } - - public String getFirstName() { return firstName; } - public void setFirstName(String firstName) { this.firstName = firstName; } - - public String getLastName() { return lastName; } - public void setLastName(String lastName) { this.lastName = lastName; } -}]]></programlisting> - - <para> - For a <literal>Customer</literal> instance with an <literal>id</literal> value of <literal>1</literal>, - the value of the identifier would be "<literal>Customer:1</literal>".

The basic - idea is that any web application can supplement (or replace) its local handling of - authentication by delegating responsibility to an external OpenID server of the user's - chosing. This benefits the user, who no longer has to remember a name and password for - every web application he uses, and the developer, who is relieved of some of the burden of - maintaining a complex authentication system. - </para> - - <para>When using OpenID, the user selects an OpenID provider, and the provider assigns the user - an OpenID. The id will take the form of a URL, for example <literal>http://maximoburrito.myopenid.com</literal> however, - it's acceptable to leave off the <literal>http://</literal> part of the identifier when logging into a site. The web application - (known as a relying party in OpenID-speak) determines which OpenID server to contact and redirects the user to the remote - site for authentication. Upon successful authentication the user is given - the (cryptographically secure) token proving his identity and is redirected back to the original web application.The - local web application can then be sure the user accessing the application controls the OpenID he presented. - </para> - - <para> - It's important to realize at this - point that authentication does not imply authorization. The web application still needs to make a determination of how to - use that information. The web application could treat the user as instantly logged in and give full access to the system or - it could try and map the presented OpenID to a local user account, prompting the user to register if he hasn't already. - The choice of how to handle the OpenID is left as a design decision for the local application. - </para> - - - <sect2> - <title>Configuring OpenID</title> - <para> - Seam uses the openid4java package and requires four additional JARs to make use of the Seam integration. These - are: <literal>htmlparser.jar</literal>, <literal>openid4java.jar</literal>, <literal>openxri-client.jar</literal> - and <literal>openxri-syntax.jar</literal>. - </para> - - <para> - OpenID processing requires the use of the <literal>OpenIdPhaseListener</literal>, which should be added to your - <literal>faces-config.xml</literal> file.

The <literal>#{openid.id}</literal> - value - accepts the user's OpenID and the <literal>#{openid.login}</literal> action initiates an authentication request. - </para> - <programlisting role="XML"><h:form> - <h:inputText value="#{openid.id}" /> - <h:commandButton action="#{openid.login}" value="OpenID Login"/> -</h:form></programlisting> - - <para> - When the user submits the login form, he will be redirected to his OpenID provider. The user will eventually - return to your application through the Seam pseudo-view <literal>/openid.xhtml</literal>, which is - provided by the <literal>OpenIdPhaseListener</literal>. Your application can handle the OpenID response by means - of a <literal>pages.xml</literal> navigation from that view, just as if the user had never left your application. - </para> - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Logging in immediately</title> - - <para> The simplest strategy is to simply login the user immediately. The following navigation rule shows how to handle this using - the <literal>#{openid.loginImmediately()}</literal> action. - </para> - - <programlisting role="XML"><page view-id="/openid.xhtml"> - <navigation evaluate="#{openid.loginImmediately()}"> - <rule if-outcome="true"> - <redirect view-id="/main.xhtml"> - <message>OpenID login successful...</message> - </redirect> - </rule> - <rule if-outcome="false"> - <redirect view-id="/main.xhtml"> - <message>OpenID login rejected...</message> - </redirect> - </rule> - </navigation> -</page></programlisting> - - <para>Thie <literal>loginImmediately()</literal> action checks to see if the OpenID is valid. If it is valid, it adds an - OpenIDPrincipal to the identity component, marks the user as logged in (i.e. <literal>#{identity.loggedIn}</literal> will be true) - and returns true. If the OpenID was not validated, the method returns false, and the user re-enters the application un-authenticated. - If the user's OpenID is valid, it will be accessible using the expression <literal>#{openid.validatedId}</literal> and - <literal>#{openid.valid}</literal> will be true. - </para> - - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Deferring login</title> - - <para> - You may not want the user to be immediately logged in to your application. In that case, your navigation - should check the <literal>#{openid.valid}</literal> property and redirect the user to a local registration or processing - page. Actions you might take would be asking for more information and creating a local user account or presenting a captcha - to avoid programmatic registrations. When you are done processing, if you want to log the user in, you can call - the <literal>loginImmediately</literal> method, either through EL as shown previously or by directly interaction with the - <literal>org.jboss.seam.security.openid.OpenId</literal> component.
