re: [equinox-dev] OSGi and Security

Hi,

Your question:
"So, the question is whether or not I can somehow set up a condition that
allows me to specify that particular services can only come from
particular bundles without having to then explicitly allow specific
services from all other bundles."

In order to do what you want to do, I believe you would need to first turn
on the OSGI Security Manager.  That means all the deployed bundles
supposely should have a OSGI-INF/permissions.perm file.  The
permissions.perm file  specify the permissions its bundle can have.  If
there is no permissions.perm file for a bundle, the bundle would have
AllPermission by default for its local permissions.
I think It is then possible to write a custom condition.   For example,
let's say you have special bundles that are signed by A and all other
bundles are signed by B. Also, let's suppose the service is com.acme.foo.
For this example, you would just need to setup a signer condition granting
the 'get, register' ServicePermission permission of com.acme.foo to the
special bundles.  In addition, you need to setup another condition just
granting the 'get' ServicePermission to all other bundles.

I believe this should help accomplish what want to do. Please let me know
otherwise.

I want to allow only specific bundles to offer particular services.  For
example, suppose I have a service "com.acme.Foo" that I want to be sure
is only available from one of three particular signed bundles.

How can I do this with the OSGi Security (either Conditional (chapter 9)
or not (chapter 10))?

The trouble with this, of course, is that I want all other bundles to be
allowed to REGISTER any other services without having any knowledge of
what those services might be beforehand (and without having to force
them to explicitly allow for any service they might want to offer in
their security files).

So, the question is whether or not I can somehow set up a condition that
allows me to specify that particular services can only come from
particular bundles without having to then explicitly allow specific
services from all other bundles.

Thanks in advance for your help!
