How to protect static HTML's

2003-06-25 Thread Ivan Ivanov
Dear Tomcat List,
I am facing the following problem. We have some static
html files in our Servlet/JSP project which reside in
a separate directory and we want to restrict the
access to them both from within the project and by
typing the URL directly in the browser. The rules of
accesing them are: if an user is not logged in our
app, he cannot access any of them and if he is logged
in, he can access only those files/folders to which he
has permmissions. Given the path (URL) of one of those
html files I can determine if the logged user has the
rights to see it.
So I wrote a servlet to check the rights and I added
the following entiries in web.xml:
 
servlet
   
servlet-nameCoursesPermissionController/servlet-name
   
servlet-classarcade.security.CoursesPermissionController/servlet-class
/servlet
servlet-mapping
   
servlet-nameCoursesPermissionController/servlet-name
url-pattern/jsp/ccim/Courses/*/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
 
where /jsp/ccim/Courses/* is the directory where the
html files reside and CoursesPermissionController is
the servlet which desides whether the user has rights.
In its doGet I determine according the URL and the
logged user whether he can see it:
 
 public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
  throws IOException, ServletException {
String requestURI =
request.getRequestURI();
String contextPath =
request.getContextPath();
  HttpSession currentSession =
getSession(request);
long loggedUserID =
WebBean.getLoggedUserID(currentSession);
if (loggedUserID == -1) {
//User is not logged
 forward(/jsp/ccim/accessdenied.jsp,
request, response);
}
else {
try {
//Pseudocode to save space
   boolean isPermitted = checkAccording(requestURI,
loggedUserID );
if (isPermitted) {
int l = contextPath.length();
String forwardPath =
requestURI.substring(l);
//The user has rights, so forward to the original
request URL
 forward(forwardPath, request,
response);
} else {
 forward(/jsp/ccim/norights.jsp,
request, response);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
forward(/jsp/ErrorPage.jsp, request,
response);
}
}
}
 
and here is forward method:
private void forward(String path,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
  throws ServletException, IOException {
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
request.getRequestDispatcher(path);
dispatcher.include(request, response);
}
The problem is that when the user has the rights i am
forwarding it to the same URL, then the servlet is
invoked again, the user is checked again, forwarded
agian in an endless recursion (or till
StackOverflowException).
 
My questions are:
1) can I implement the restrictions in a similar way
by invoking a servlet when a protected URL is
requested.
2) are there clearer ways to do it. I read in
Servlet2.3 Specifiaction for filters and
authenticating filters, but I think that I will end
with endless recursing also. Moreover, i couldn't find
a suitable filter example.
 
Up to know I workarounded the problem with this
method:
private void dump(String path, HttpServletRequest
request, HttpServletResponse response)
  throws ServletException, IOException {
 ServletContext context = getServletContext();
 String realPath = context.getRealPath(path);
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
FileReader(realPath));
 PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
 String line = ;
 while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
 out.println(line);
 }
}
instead this lines
//The user has rights, so forward to the original
request URL
 forward(forwardPath, request,
response);
I use
//The user has rights, so forward to the original
request URL
 dump(forwardPath, request, response);
 
I also thought to transform the htmls in jsp's and
check for rights at the top of each jsp, but the
requirements say they must be htmls.
 
Thank you for your efforts. I will appreciate any
idea.

RE: How to protect static HTML's

2003-06-25 Thread Collins, Jim
Use struts and move all of your JSP and html pages to WEB-INF. Any reference
to a page change to a struts mapping then in the action class you can check
if the user has rights and if they do forward to the page.

Regards

Jim.

Re: How to protect static HTML's

2003-06-25 Thread Justin Ruthenbeck
Ivan --

You're really close to getting it ... two options:

(1) Keep your servlet the way it is.  Add a request attribute 
(req.setAttribute()) during your security check if the security check 
finishes successfully.  Check for this attribute before doing the security 
check again.  Think of this as your break case for a recursive method call.

(2) Use filters.  All filters set for a particular request are run *once* 
on an incoming request.  If you do a RequestDispatcher.forward(), the 
filters will not be run again -- and you won't have recursion.

If you're going to continue developing functionality like this, invest the 
time and go with #2.  If not, I'd take #1.

(2) Use filters.  All filters set for a particular request are run
*once*
on an incoming request.  If you do a RequestDispatcher.forward(), the
filters will not be run again -- and you won't have recursion.

I wouldn't suggest that option, as it may break when the Servlet
Specification v2.4 will be different.  Filters will run on the same
request through RequestDispatcher.forward.

It's the new dispatcher element, documented in SRV.6.2.5 of the
Servlet Specification v2.4 PFD 3.  Like I said, it may break.  If you
properly configure the server, the filtering approach will likely be
fine.  But it's something to keep in mind going forward.

Yes, that's correct.  Yoav's point was that if you go with Filters in 
Tomcat 4.x (Servlet 2.3), you may have to change your configurations when 
you eventually upgrade to Tomcat 5.x (Servlet 2.4).

To be clear:

For Tomcat 4.x, Filters are only run when a request comes to the 
container.  For Tomcat 5.x, Filters are configurable to run at any or all 
of request-time, forward-time, and include-time -- depending on the 
Servlet2.4 dispatcher element.

Howdy,

   

(2) Use filters.  All filters set for a
 

particular request are run
   

*once*
   

on an incoming request.  If you do a
 

RequestDispatcher.forward(), the
   

filters will not be run again -- and you won't
 

have recursion.
   

I wouldn't suggest that option, as it may break
   

when the
   

Servlet Specification v2.4 will be different. 
   

Filters will
   

run on the same request through
   

RequestDispatcher.forward.
   

Only when you specify that they are to be run that
 

way.  You can specify
   

that they only be run on incoming requests, on
 

forwards or on includes
   

(and any combination of those). There are constants
 

for these, but I
   

forget what they are.
 

See SRV.6.2.5 -- The xml tag is 
dispatcher[INCLUDE,FORWARD,REQUEST]/dispatcher
