Sure will work on that. Shall I create a JIRA?
Yes, please.
Do set both 2.0.9 and 2.1.0 as fix-for-versions since I will apply your
PR both to branches master and 2_0_X.
Sorry for the delay will submit the ICLA asap
Ok, thanks.
Regards.

Since such condition can happen only if the same user tries to login from

Using the UNIQUE constraint will definitely will provide a better security
and furthermore will make the model more meaningful. On the other hand
this
will break the token replacing functionality since it first create a token
(at this time there are 2 tokens in the db) and delete the last one.
What I propose is writing a separate query to replace tokens instead of
using save & delete queries separately and furthermore we can use a new
query to save tokens without affecting the UNIQUE constraints so that no
need to mess with threading & @Transactional properties.
If you can come up with a proposal which works with all the supported
DBMSes, then please go on.
As already asked as comment in your recent PR: did you submit an ICLA for
your contributions? Thanks.
Regards.

The Read Committed isolation level ensures that data can only be read by

we're gonna use @Transactional annotation the isolation level should be
serialized for create operation. Please correct me If I'm wrong.
I see your point - while I don't completely agree about the likelihood
of
such race condition to actually happen.
At worse, you might end up in having two distinct JWT (Access Tokens)
values for a single user, which will anyway be subject to expiration due
to
https://github.com/apache/syncope/blob/master/core/provision
ing-java/src/main/java/org/apache/syncope/core/provisioni
ng/java/job/ExpiredAccessTokenCleanup.java
For additional security, we might want to impose a UNIQUE constraint on
https://github.com/apache/syncope/blob/master/core/persisten
ce-jpa/src/main/java/org/apache/syncope/core/persistenc
e/jpa/entity/JPAAccessToken.java#L48
(not sure to remember why the column is currently set as nullable,
though).
With UNIQUE owner, the step (5) in your sequence below will fail anyway.
Again, given the chances that the race condition applies, and considering
what would be the harm (nearly none, to me), I would rather avoid any
modification rather than imposing the UNIQUE constraint.

Hi Francesco,
Yes there is @Transactional annotation. But it haven't set the
isolation
property as well as the propagation property. Based on the default
values
set this thread safe problem will still occur. Please correct me if
I'm
wrong.
The transaction isolation level is set in
https://github.com/apache/syncope/blob/master/core/persisten
ce-jpa/src/main/resources/domains/MasterDomain.xml#L57-L59

Hi Francesco,
I will take a scenario. Suppose a scenario where thread A & thread B
try
to login user admin.
1. thread A checks if a token exist for the user admin (suppose
currently there is no token associated with the admin)
2. Then thread A execute following logic[1] to create and save
the
token.
3. Before thread A save the token for user admin thread B checks
if a
token exist for user admin (since the toked created by
thread A
is
not yet saved *exist == null*)
4. Then thread A complete the creation of token (and saving)
5. Thread B also complete the creation and saving of the token.
That way there can be 2 tokens for a particular user.
You analysis does not take into any account the fact of the
constraints
imposed by the @Service annotation in
https://github.com/apache/syncope/blob/master/core/rest-cxf/
src/main/java/org/apache/syncope/core/rest/cxf/service/Acces
sTokenServiceImpl.java#L35
(e.g. the place when external requests can come in) nor by the
@Transactional annotation injected into
https://github.com/apache/syncope/blob/master/core/logic/
src/main/java/org/apache/syncope/core/logic/AccessTokenLogic
.java#L80
via
https://github.com/apache/syncope/blob/master/core/logic/

Hi All,
Token create method in AccessTokenDataBinderImpl[1] is
not
thread safe.
Could you please explain why you're affirming this?
This could result in several problems including
* Exist 2 different access token for a particular user
at
a
given
time which may result in an exception thrown by
method
call[2]
since it expects a single token a given user.
In addition to that token replace is implemented as a
combination of 2 different functionalities. Since the
method
is not thread safe this may cause some unexpected
behaviors
(since there can be 2 tokens exist for a particular user.
same
scenario as above).
Appreciate your insight on the $subject.
