Class CliTransportAuthenticator

java.lang.Object
  hudson.cli.CliTransportAuthenticator

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtensionPoint

public abstract class CliTransportAuthenticator
extends Object
implements ExtensionPoint

Perform SecurityRealm independent authentication.

Implementing this extension point requires changes in the CLI module, as during authentication neither side trusts each other enough to start code-transfer. But it does allow us to use different implementations of the same protocol.

Current Implementations

Starting 1.419, CLI supports SSH public key based client/server mutual authentication. The protocol name of this is "ssh".

Since:

1.419

Method Detail

supportsProtocol

public abstract boolean supportsProtocol(String protocol)

Checks if this implementation supports the specified protocol.

Parameters:

protocol - Identifier. CLI.jar is hard-coded with the built-in knowledge about a specific protocol.

Returns:

true if this implementation supports the specified protocol, in which case authenticate(String, Channel, Connection) would be called next.

authenticate

public abstract void authenticate(String protocol,
                                  hudson.remoting.Channel channel,
                                  Connection con)

Performs authentication.

Parameters:

protocol - Protocol identifier that supportsProtocol(String) returned true.
