Hi Valerie/Xuelei
Webrev at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/7076415/webrev.00/
The test fails when running the native JGSS provider on a sles (SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server) machine throwing:
Exception in thread "main" GSSException: Invalid name provided
(Mechanism level: Hostname cannot be canonicalized)
at sun.security.jgss.wrapper.GSSLibStub.importName(Native Method)
I've seen this before but cannot find an old CR for it. The method called is
gssManager.createName("service@host",...)
This "host" is not the name of a real host. On most systems, either
hostname canonicalization is not performed, or there is a fallback
mechanism, the method does not report any error and the test succeeds.
However, on this sles machine, an exception is thrown.
I don't have any control on the native GSS's importName method, so I can
only try my best to provide a name it can resolve. The only such name I
can think of is "localhost".
The test currently uses 2 GSSName, "service@host" and "service@host2".
Since I can only find one good hostname, I update it to same host with
different service names, i.e. "service@localhost" and
"service2@localhost". Hopefully this still matches the purpose of the
test. The original author is Xuelei.
I can reproduce the failure on the failed machine, and it succeeds after
the code change.
Just submitted a JPRT job.
Thanks
Max
