password validation [message #1631130]

Are there any docs on how to do password validation? I tried adapting the one I found that validates against eclipse.org to use our Jenkins server and failed.

Also, is the password validation mechanism pluggable? I'd like to create a mechanism that validates against LDAP. I'd create a Bugzilla patch for this if desired.

Hi Bryan,

Ed has developed the entire password validation mechanism. I've cc'ed him in the hope that he can answer your question.

Cheers

Bryan,

The one I developed is driven by annotations of the setup model, but I
only went so far as to support what was needed for the Eclipse bugzilla
and ID validations. Certainly contributions of more flexibility are
welcome.

Hi Ed,

I started looking at the code and it seems the org.eclipse.oomph.setup.internal.core.util.Authenticator class manages authenticators through the static create() which is not extensible. Would it make sense to move the authenticator to the model as a strategy pattern? The form authenticator would then move to it's own extension much like say the myln extension.

Bryan,

I'm not sure what "moving it to the model" means but certainly one can
imagine an extension point to register something to handle the
annotations...

Hi Ed,

Moving it to the model means just that. Model the authenticator and make it part of the setup model. I can then extend it with my own ecore. The setup code would use the instance from the setup model to verify one's credentials. The other two options would be to do it as an extension point as you said, or as an OSGi service. I'd prefer the OSGi service, but your house, your rules Smile

That seems more "hard core" than using an annotation approach...

True, but seems far more heavy weight...

We'll consider whatever you propose...
