IdentityMaanger: extend permission checks to allow user to modify his own password
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-3941
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3941
Project: Seam
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Security
Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA, 2.1.1.CR2, 2.1.1.CR1, 2.1.0.SP1
Reporter: Raimund Hölle
Priority: Minor
Because IdentityManager.changePassword() requires the permission ("seam.user",
"update"), it is not possible to use that method to change the password of the
authenticated user itself without granting that permission to him.
But granting that means, the user is able to modify _any_ user.
I'm suggest to add a new permission target (or maybe a new action) and extend the
changePassword() method:
public static final String OWNPASSWORD_PERMISSION_NAME =
"seam.user.ownpassword";
public boolean changePassword(String name, String password) {
Identity identity = Identity.instance();
try {
identity.checkPermission(USER_PERMISSION_NAME, PERMISSION_UPDATE);
} catch (AuthorizationException e) {
if ( identity.isLoggedIn() &&
identity.getCredentials().getUsername().equals(name) ) {
Identity.instance().checkPermission(OWNPASSWORD_PERMISSION_NAME,
PERMISSION_UPDATE);
} else {
throw e;
}
}
return identityStore.changePassword(name, password);
}
Or maybe a specialized method?
Many regards,
Raimund
