SimpleAuthenticator rejects cached one-way encrypted passwords
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1007
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1007
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Jonah Beckford
Priority: Minor
Conditions
- userPassword is stored as {SHA} (or some other one-way encryption) in the DIT
- authentication request has password credentials sent in plain text
Behavior
- The first authentication request is successful.
- All subsequent requests fail
Cause
- The one-way encrypted password is stored in the credentialCache after the
first request, and subsequent (plain text) requests don't match what is stored
in the credentialCache
Fix
- Do the same match checking on each request, regardless whether in cache or
not in cache
- Change SimpleAuthenticator::authenticate from:
if ( principal != null )
{
// Found ! Are the password equals ?
credentialsMatch = Arrays.equals( credentials,
principal.getUserPassword() );
}
else
{
// Not found :(...
// Get the user password from the backend
byte[] userPassword = lookupUserPassword( principalDn );
... BLOCK # 1 ...
}
to:
// Get the user password (from the backend if not in the cache)
byte[] userPassword = null;
if (principal == null)
userPassword = lookupUserPassword(principalDn);
else
userPassword = principal.getUserPassword();
... BLOCK # 1 ...
