Francesco Chicchiriccò commented on SYNCOPE-313:
------------------------------------------------
I was more thinking that a possible way to implement this feature was to
provide specific synchronization actions for relevant connectors (say LDAP and
DBTable) so that the technology-specific handling could have been coded in
there.
The {{LDAPPasswordSynchronizationAction}} could parse the password value from
connector (say {{"{SSHA}jkdsfjlksdjfklsdjfkjsdflsdjkfdslfsdkjfk"}}), check that
{{SSHA}} is supported by Syncope and then directly set the encoded value into
{{SyncopeUser}} (this is currently not possible).
The {{DBPasswordSynchronizationAction}} could look at the connector
configuration (the "Password cipher algorithm" parameter - see
https://connid.atlassian.net/wiki/display/BASE/Database+Table) and then
directly set the encoded value into {{SyncopeUser}} (this is currently not
possible).
WDYT?
> Support synchronizing non-cleartext passwords from external resources
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SYNCOPE-313
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-313
> Project: Syncope
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Colm O hEigeartaigh
> Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh
> Fix For: 1.2.0
>
>
> Currently we can synchronize cleartext passwords from external resources.
> However, we can't handle non-cleartext passwords, as they get treated as if
> they are plaintext passwords when imported into Syncope, and hence hashed
> again according to user.cipherAlgorithm().
> This task is to treat an imported password as hashed according to a give
> cipher algorithm configured on the connector (for example via 'Password
> Cipher Algorithm' for the DB Connector).
> This is specific to each individual connector, as for example for the DB
> Connector, it might just be a hashed value stored in a table, whereas for
> LDAP it'll be of the form "CIPHER}VALUE" etc.
> Note that we we cannot refer to any specific connector bundle from inside the
> SyncopeSyncResultHandler, hence we should find the cleanest place to
> encapsulate the following logic:
> if (password.isClearText()) {
> // do as currently done
> } else {
> if (connector.isLDAP()) {
> // extract cipher and value
> } else if (connector.isDBTable()) {
> // treat value as ciphered with the cipher defined in connector
> configuration
> } else {
> ...
> }
> }
