[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Assigned: (SEAMSECURITY-14) RememberMe fails to add Cookie because of invalid Base64 encoding

RememberMe fails to add Cookie because of invalid Base64 encoding ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMSECURITY-14 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SEAMSECURITY-14 Project: Seam Security Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Florian Specker Assignee: Shane Bryzak RememberMe.encodeToken() uses Base64 to encode Cookie values before actually adding the Cookie. For long usernames, a newline char (\n) is inserted, preventing the Cookie from being added. JBREM-806 addressed the same issue for JBoss remoting: [..] --------- Solution: org.jboss.util.Base64.encodeBytes() takes an optional "options" parameter, which, among other things, can indicate that Base64 encoded strings should not be broken into lines: change String encoded = Base64.encodeBytes(buffer.toString().getBytes()); to String encoded = Base64.encodeBytes(buffer.toString().getBytes(), Base64.DONT_BREAK_LINES); [..] As a workaround, I subclassed RememberMe and overwrote encodeToken(): @Override protected String encodeToken(String username, String value) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.append(username); sb.append(":"); sb.append(value); // do not break lines - this results in invalid cookies return Base64.encodeBytes(sb.toString().getBytes(), Base64.DONT_BREAK_LINES); }
