-------------------------------------------
Added another fix to provide the connection information when an operation was
performed anonymously, see http://svn.apache.org/r1505919
> Provide access to remote connection info
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRSERVER-1489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1489
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.5.5
> Reporter: Matt Doran
> Fix For: 2.0.0-M13
>
> Attachments: connection-info-1.5.5.patch,
> connection-info-1.5.5-v2.patch
>
>
> I'm developing a custom partition and custom authentication handler to plug
> into ApacheDS, and need to know the connection details of the client
> performing the requests. A reason why this might be useful it to be able
> to log the source of invalid authentication requests.
> The CoreSession object has a getClientAddress() method, however it always
> returns null. The CoreSession object is accessible from the places where it
> would be useful (i.e. via the context objects passed into the Partition
> methods ... and also in the AuthenticationInterceptor.) Upon further
> investigation it looks like the implementation in DefaultCoreSession is
> hard-coded to return null. :(
> It also appears that the services main CoreSession object is reused alot
> (e.g. in the authentication interceptor we use the same session object no
> matter who the caller is).
> I was interested in putting in a short-term patch to work-around this issue
> while a longer term solution was considered. But I couldn't find anything
> obvious. I'd think it would make sense to stuff the client address into the
> session somewhere up in one of the protocol handlers (e.g.
> LdapRequestHandler.handleMessage) ... but there currently isn't anywhere to
> put this info. Any ideas on a short-term (even if hacky) way to achieve this?
> (raising as requested by Emmanuel Lecharany on user's list)
