<section id="Java-Broker-Security-Authentication-Providers">
  <title>Authentication Providers</title>
  <para>
    In order to successfully establish a connection to the Java Broker, the connection must be
    authenticated. The Java Broker supports a number of different authentication schemes, each
    with its own "authentication manager". Different managers may be used on different ports.
    Each manager has its own configuration element, the presence of which within the
    &lt;security&gt; section denotes the use of that authentication provider. Where only one
    such manager is configured, that manager will be used on all ports (including JMX). Where
    more than one authentication manager is configured the configuration must define which
    manager is the "default", and (if required) the mapping of non-default authentication
    managers to other ports.
  </para>
  <para>
    The following configuration sets up three authentication managers, using a password file as
    the default (e.g. for the JMX port), Kerberos on port 5672 and Anonymous on 5673.
  </para>

    <title>Configuring a LDAP authentication</title>
    <programlisting><![CDATA[
<security>
    <simple-ldap-auth-manager>
      <provider-url>ldaps://example.com:636/</provider-url>
      <search-context>dc=example\,dc=com</search-context>
      <search-filter>(uid={0})</search-filter>
    </simple-ldap-auth-manager>
</security>]]>
    </programlisting>
  </example>

  <para>
    The authentication manager first connects to the ldap server anonymously and searches for the
    ldap entity which is identified by the username provided over SASL. Essentially the
    authentication manager calls
    DirContext.search(Name name, String filterExpr, Object[] filterArgs, SearchControls cons)
    with the values of search-context and search-filter as the first two arguments, and the username
    as the only element in the array which is the third argument.
  </para>

  <para>
    If the search returns a name from the LDAP server, the AuthenticationManager then attempts to
    login to the ldap server with the given name and the password.
  </para>

  <para>
    If the URL to open for authentication is different to that for the search, then the
    authentication url can be overridden using &lt;provider-auth-url&gt; in addition to providing a
    &lt;provider-url&gt;. Note that the URL used for authentication should use ldaps:// since
    passwords will be being sent over it.
  </para>

  <para>
    By default com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory is used to create the context, however this can be
    overridden by specifying &lt;ldap-context-factory&gt; in the configuration.
  </para>

  </section>
  <section><title>Kerberos</title>

  <para>
    Kereberos Authentication is configured using the &lt;kerberos-auth-manager&gt; element within
    the &lt;security&gt; section. When referencing from the default-auth-manager or port-mapping
    sections, its name is KerberosAuthenticationManager.
  </para>

  <para>
    Since Kerberos support only works where SASL authentication is available (e.g. not for JMX
    authentication) you may wish to also include an alternative Authentication Manager
    configuration, and use this for other ports:
  </para>

  <example>

	    <auth-manager>KerberosAuthenticationManager</auth-manager>
	</port-mapping>
    </port-mappings>
</security>]]>
    </programlisting>
  </example>

  <para>
    Configuration of kerberos is done through system properties (there doesn't seem to be a way
    around this unfortunately).
  </para>

  <programlisting>
    export QPID_OPTS=-Djavax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly=false -Djava.security.auth.login.config=qpid.conf
    ${QPID_HOME}/bin/qpid-server
  </programlisting>

  <para>Where qpid.conf would look something like this:</para>

  <programlisting><![CDATA[
com.sun.security.jgss.accept {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required
    useKeyTab=true
    storeKey=true
    doNotPrompt=true
    realm="EXAMPLE.COM"
    useSubjectCredsOnly=false
    kdc="kerberos.example.com"
    keyTab="/path/to/keytab-file"
    principal="<name>/<host>";
};]]>
  </programlisting>

  <para>
    Where realm, kdc, keyTab and principal should obviously be set correctly for the environment
    where you are running (see the existing documentation for the C++ broker about creating a keytab
    file).
  </para>

  <para>
    Note: You may need to install the "Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength
    Jurisdiction Policy Files" appropriate for your JDK in order to get Kerberos support working.
