Remco Poortinga - van Wijnen updated FELIX-651:
-----------------------------------------------
Attachment: UrlEmbeddedCredentialsAuthenticator.java
This UrlEmbeddedCredentialsAuthenticator extends Authenticator from Java and on
call just checks whether a username:password is present in the URL.
If there is it is returned, otherwise null is returned.
See also http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/Authenticator.html
I tested this by placing it in org.apache.felix.bundlerepository package and
then calling Authenticator.setDefault(new
UrlEmbeddedCredentialsAuthenticator()); from the start method of
org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.Activator.
Possible 'gotcha': using Authenticator.setDefault makes it a 'system' thingy.
Which may be a good thing (then works for all URLs throughout Felix), or a bad
thing (might cause other issues? Not sure which, I'm not really familiar with
the internals of Felix).
> Access to password protected OBR

> Key: FELIX-651
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-651
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Bundle Repository (OBR)
> Reporter: Remco Poortinga - van Wijnen
> Priority: Trivial
> Attachments: UrlEmbeddedCredentialsAuthenticator.java

> Original Estimate: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.5h

> For a project I would like to configure a 'private' OBR (somewhat against the
> federated idea of OBR I guess, but anyway). In other words: username/password
> protected access. Https OBR are possible, but I have no idea if there is an
> 'official' way (from Felix' point of view) for specifying credentials for the
> specified OBR URLs.
> Just to see whether it would work I created a test version where
> username/password can be specified in a RFC1738 compliant way, e.g.
> https://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/rest and added an Authenticator to the
> bundlerepository bundle, which gets the username/password from the URL if it
> is set (see
> http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URL.html#getUserInfo()).
> This seems to work OK; would this be interesting for others as well?
