Bug ID: 60196
Summary: isMandatory erroneously always set to true for JASPIC
SAM
Product: Tomcat 9
Version: 9.0.0.M10
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When the validateRequest method of a JASPIC SAM is called in Tomcat 9, the
"javax.security.auth.message.MessagePolicy.isMandatory" key in the MessageInfo
map is erroneously always set to true.
This happens in
org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.getJaspicState via the
following code:
new MessageInfoImpl(request.getRequest(), response.getResponse(), true);
The "true" param becomes the "authMandatory" value in the MessageInfo map:
map.put(IS_MANDATORY, Boolean.toString(authMandatory));
However, according to section 3.8.1.1 of the JASPIC 1.1 spec this should only
be true if the target resource is protected. To be more exact when:
"... the resource identified by the HttpServletRequest is covered by a Servlet
auth- constraint, or in a JSR 115 compatible runtime, if the corresponding
WebResourcePermission is NOT granted to an unauthenticated caller."
So while the SAM should always be called (whether authentication is required or
not), "javax.security.auth.message.MessagePolicy.isMandatory" should only be
set to true when authentication is actually required (which incidentally, is
also the case when HttpServletRequest#authenticate is called).
