Provide access to remote connection info
----------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1489
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1489
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.5.5
Reporter: Matt Doran
I'm developing a custom partition and custom authentication handler to plug
into ApacheDS, and need to know the connection details of the client performing
the requests. A reason why this might be useful it to be able to log the
source of invalid authentication requests.
The CoreSession object has a getClientAddress() method, however it always
returns null. The CoreSession object is accessible from the places where it
would be useful (i.e. via the context objects passed into the Partition methods
... and also in the AuthenticationInterceptor.) Upon further investigation it
looks like the implementation in DefaultCoreSession is hard-coded to return
null. :(
It also appears that the services main CoreSession object is reused alot (e.g.
in the authentication interceptor we use the same session object no matter who
the caller is).
I was interested in putting in a short-term patch to work-around this issue
while a longer term solution was considered. But I couldn't find anything
obvious. I'd think it would make sense to stuff the client address into the
session somewhere up in one of the protocol handlers (e.g.
LdapRequestHandler.handleMessage) ... but there currently isn't anywhere to put
this info. Any ideas on a short-term (even if hacky) way to achieve this?
