Method Detail

getPasswordVerifier

static PasswordVerifier getPasswordVerifier(boolean isAuthPasswordSyntax)

Returns the user or authentication password verifier.

Parameters:

isAuthPasswordSyntax - if true, returns the authentication password verifier, if false, returns the user password verifier.

Returns:

the user or authentication password verifier

passwordMatches

boolean passwordMatches(ByteSequence plaintextPassword,
                        String encodedPassword)
                 throws DecodeException

Indicates whether the provided plaintext password matches the encoded password.

Parameters:

plaintextPassword - The plaintext password provided by the user.

encodedPassword - The encoded password to verify against.

Returns:

true if the provided plaintext password matches the encoded password, false otherwise

Throws:

DecodeException - when the encoded password cannot be decoded

userPasswordMatches

static boolean userPasswordMatches(ByteSequence plaintextPassword,
                                   String encodedPassword)
                            throws DecodeException

Indicates whether the provided plaintext password matches the encoded password using the user password syntax.

Parameters:

plaintextPassword - The plaintext password provided by the user.

encodedPassword - The encoded password to verify against.

Returns:

true if the provided plaintext password matches the encoded password, or false if it does not or this storage scheme does not support the user password syntax.

Throws:

DecodeException - when the encoded password cannot be decoded

userPasswordMatches

static boolean userPasswordMatches(PasswordStorageScheme<?> scheme,
                                   ByteSequence plaintextPassword,
                                   UserPassword password)

Indicates whether the provided plaintext password matches the encoded password using the user password syntax.

Parameters:

scheme - The password storage scheme

plaintextPassword - The plaintext password provided by the user.

password - The user password to verify.

Returns:

true if the provided plaintext password matches the encoded password, or false if it does not or this storage scheme does not support the authentication password syntax.

authPasswordMatches

static boolean authPasswordMatches(ByteSequence plaintextPassword,
                                   String encodedPassword)
                            throws DecodeException

Parameters:

plaintextPassword - The plaintext password provided by the user.

encodedPassword - The encoded password to verify.

Returns:

true if the provided plaintext password matches the encoded password, or false if it does not or this storage scheme does not support the authentication password syntax.

Throws:

DecodeException - when the encoded password cannot be decoded

authPasswordMatches

static boolean authPasswordMatches(PasswordStorageScheme<?> scheme,
                                   ByteSequence plaintextPassword,
                                   AuthPassword password)

Indicates whether the provided plaintext password matches the encoded password using the authentication password syntax.

Parameters:

scheme - The password storage scheme

plaintextPassword - The plaintext password provided by the user.

password - The authentication password to verify.

Returns:

true if the provided plaintext password matches the encoded password, or false if it does not or this storage scheme does not support the authentication password syntax.
