<p>Authentication lends a measure of security to a cluster
by verifying the identity of components as they connect to the system.
All components use the same authentication mechanism.</p>
<h2 id="how-authentication-works"><a id="authentication-how-it-works"></a>How Authentication Works</h2>
<p>When a component initiates a connection to the cluster, the <code>SecurityManager.authenticate</code> method is invoked.
The component provides its credentials in the form of properties as a parameter to the <code>authenticate</code> method.</p>
<p>The credentials parameter is generated by the <code>security-client-auth-init</code> class&rsquo;s <code>getCredentials()</code> call,
for example a token, a certificate, or a user/password combination. The <code>authenticate</code> method is
expected to either return an object representing a principal or throw an <code>AuthenticationFailedException</code>
or <code>AuthenticationExpiredException</code>. The principal object is what is passed on to the <code>authorize</code> method
which is discussed in detail in the <a href="/docs/guide/115/managing/security/authorization_overview.html">authorization</a> section.</p>
<p>In case of an <code>AuthenticationExpiredException</code> the Geode client code will make one automatic attempt
to re-connect to the member that sent the exception.
A <code>SecurityManager</code> implementation that supports reauthentication using expiring credentials must also support non-expiring credentials for cluster members.</p>
<p>A well-designed <code>authenticate</code> method will have a set of known credentials, such as user and password pairs, that can be
compared to the credentials presented or will have a way of obtaining those credentials.</p>
<h2 id="how-a-server-sets-its-credentials"><a id="authentication-server-set-creds"></a>How a Server Sets Its Credentials</h2>
<p>In order to connect with a locator that performs authentication,
a server must set its credentials, a username and password specified as the two properties
<code>security-username</code> and <code>security-password</code>. In case of systems that use tokens for authentication
the property <code>security-token</code> should be provided.</p>
<p>Choose one of two ways to set the server credentials:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add settings to the server properties file, if the credentials comprise a simple username/password combination, or</li>
<li>Implement the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface for the server</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="add-settings-to-the-server-properties-file"><a id="authentication-setserverprops"></a>Add Settings to the Server Properties File</h3>
<p>Set <code>security-username</code> and <code>security-password</code> or <code>security-token</code> in the server&rsquo;s
<code>gfsecurity.properties</code> file, which is read upon server startup.
For example:</p>
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>security-username=admin
security-password=xyz1234
</code></pre>
<p>Or:</p>
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>security-token=abcdxyz
</code></pre>
<p>The username, password, and tokens are generally base64 encoded strings which are stored in
cleartext, so the <code>gfsecurity.properties</code> file must be protected by restricting access with
file system permissions.</p>
<h3 id="implement-the-authinitialize-interface-for-the-server"><a id="authentication-implementserverinterface"></a>Implement the AuthInitialize Interface for the Server</h3>
<p>To implement the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface for the server, set the
<code>security-peer-auth-init</code> property so that an object of the class that implements the <code>AuthInitialize</code>
interface will be instantiated. There are two ways to do this:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can set the <code>security-peer-auth-init</code> property to the fully-qualified class name that implements
the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface as in the example</li>
</ul>
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> security-peer-auth-init=com.example.security.ServerAuthenticate
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>You can set the <code>security-peer-auth-init</code> property to the fully-qualified method name of a method
that instantiates an object of the class that implements the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface as in the
example</li>
</ul>
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> security-peer-auth-init=com.example.security.ServerAuthenticate.create
</code></pre>
<p>Implement the <code>getCredentials</code> method within the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface to acquire values for
the <code>security-token</code> property or the <code>security-username</code> and <code>security-password</code> properties in whatever way you
wish. For example, it might look up values in a database or another external resource.</p>
<p>Gateway senders and receivers communicate as components of their respective server members. Therefore, the
credentials of the server become those of the gateway sender or receiver.</p>
<h2 id="how-a-client-cache-sets-its-credentials"><a id="authentication-client-set-creds"></a>How a Client Cache Sets its Credentials</h2>
<p>In order to connect with a locator or a server that performs authentication,
a client must set its credentials. The credentials parameter is generated by the <code>security-client-auth-init</code>
class&rsquo;s <code>getCredentials()</code> call, for example a token, a certificate, or a user/password combination.</p>
<p>You must perform two actions to set to set the client credentials:</p>
<ul>
<li>Implement the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface for the client</li>
<li>Provide <code>Authinitialize.getCredentials()</code> with secure access to the client credentials</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="implement-the-authinitialize-interface-for-the-client"><a id="authentication-implementclientinterface"></a>Implement the AuthInitialize Interface for the Client</h3>
<p>To implement the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface for the client, set the <code>security-client-auth-init</code> property,
so that an object of the class that implements the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface will be instantiated.
There are two ways to do this:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can set the <code>security-client-auth-init</code> property to the fully-qualified
class name that implements the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface as in the example:</li>
</ul>
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> security-client-auth-init=com.example.security.ClientAuthInitialize
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>You can set the <code>security-client-auth-init</code> property to the fully-qualified
name of a static method that instantiates an object of the class
that implements the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface as in the example</li>
</ul>
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> security-client-auth-init=com.example.security.ClientAuthInitialize.create
</code></pre>
<p>Implement the <code>getCredentials()</code> method of the <code>AuthInitialize</code> interface for the client to acquire values for
the <code>security-token</code> property or the <code>security-username</code> and <code>security-password</code> properties in whatever way
wish. For example, it might look up values in a database or another external resource,
or it might prompt for values.</p>
<p>When implementing the <code>getCredentials()</code> method for a token based system keep in mind that the token
provider may return an existing token for a user and that this token may expire sooner than expected.
Make sure to understand the implications of this and consider building in a check for imminent expiry
in the <code>getCredentials()</code> implementation so that a newly fetched but soon to be expired token does
not cause undesired exceptions when used for operations.</p>
<h3 id="provide-secure-access-to-client-credentials"><a id="authentication-provideclientcredaccess"></a>Provide Secure Access to Client Credentials</h3>
<p>Set the <code>security-token</code> property or the <code>security-username</code> and <code>security-password</code> properties for the client in
a way that can be accessed by the <code>getCredentials</code> implementation in <code>AuthInitialize</code>. This can be
done via the APIs, properties file or other external sources:</p>
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("security-username", "exampleuser23");
properties.setProperty("security-password", "xyz1234");
ClientCache cache = new ClientCacheFactory(properties).create();
</code></pre>
<p>For security, take care that credentials set in this manner are not accessible to observers of the code.</p>
<h2 id="how-other-components-set-their-credentials"><a id="authentication-component-set-creds"></a>How Other Components Set Their Credentials</h2>
<p><code>gfsh</code> prompts for the username and password upon invocation of
a<code>gfsh connect</code> command. These username/password combinations will be provided as properties
to the <code>authenticate</code> method in the keys of <code>security-username</code> and <code>security-password</code>.</p>
<p>Pulse prompts for the username and password upon start up.</p>
<p>Due to the stateless nature of the REST API, a web application or other component that speaks to a
server or locator via the REST API goes through authentication on each request.
The header of the request needs to include attributes that define values for <code>security-username</code> and
<code>security-password</code> or in case of token based security the appropriate header associated with the
scheme such as <code>Authorization: Bearer [encoded token-string]</code> for <code>OAuth</code></p>
<h2 id="implement-securitymanager-interface"><a id="authentication-implement-security-mgr"></a>Implement SecurityManager Interface</h2>
<p>Complete these items to implement authentication done by either a
locator or a server.</p>
<ul>
<li>Decide upon an authentication algorithm.
The <a href="/docs/guide/115/managing/security/authentication_examples.html">Authentication Example</a>
stores a set of username and
password pairs that represent the identities of components
that will connect to the system.
This simplistic algorithm returns the username as a principal
if the username and password passed to the <code>authenticate</code> method
are a match for one of the stored pairs.</li>
<li>Define the <code>security-manager</code> property.
See <a href="/docs/guide/115/managing/security/enable_security.html">Enable Security with Property Definitions</a>
for details about this property.</li>
<li>Implement the <code>authenticate</code> method of the <code>SecurityManager</code> interface.</li>
<li>Define any extra resources that the implemented authentication algorithm
needs in order to make a decision.</li>
