Class DecodeAction

java.lang.Object

com.sun.identity.security.DecodeAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

PrivilegedAction<String>

public class DecodeAction
extends Object
implements PrivilegedAction<String>

The class is used to perform privileged operations with AccessController.doPrivileged() when using com.iplanet.services.util.Crypt to decode passwords. Ths class implements the interface PrivilegedAction with a non-default constructor. This class should be used in order to perform the privileged operation of com.iplanet.services.util.Crypt.decode/decrypt().

 
 This line of code: String decStr =
 com.iplanet.services.util.Crypt.decode(str) should be replaced with: String
 decStr = (String) AccessController.doPrivileged( new DecodeAction(str)); If
 this is not done and Java security permissions check is enabled, then the
 operation will fail and return a null every time.
 
 Note: Java security permissions check for OpenAM can be enabled by
 setting the property com.sun.identity.security.checkcaller to
 true in AMConfig properties file.
