Class EncryptAction

java.lang.Object

com.sun.identity.security.EncryptAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

PrivilegedAction

public class EncryptAction
extends Object
implements PrivilegedAction

The class is used to perform privileged operation with AccessController.doPrivileged() when using com.iplanet.am.util.AMPasswordUtil to encrypt 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.am.util.AMPasswordUtil.encrypt().

 
 This line of code: String encStr =
 com.iplanet.am.util.AMPasswordUtil.encrypt(str); should be replaced with:
 String encStr = (String) AccessController.doPrivileged( new
 EncryptAction(str)); If this is not done and Java security permissions check
 is enabled, then the operation will fail and return a null everytime.
 
 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.
