Class PasswordPolicyRequestControl

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Control
    public final class PasswordPolicyRequestControl
extends Object
implements Control
    The password policy request control as defined in draft-behera-ldap-password-policy.

    This control may be sent with any request in order to convey to the server that this client is aware of, and can process the password policy response control. When a server receives this control, it will return the password policy response control when appropriate and with the proper data. 

     
 Connection connection = ...;
 String DN = ...;
 char[] password = ...;

 try {
     BindRequest request = Requests.newSimpleBindRequest(DN, password)
             .addControl(PasswordPolicyRequestControl.newControl(true));

     BindResult result = connection.bind(request);

     PasswordPolicyResponseControl control =
             result.getControl(PasswordPolicyResponseControl.DECODER,
                     new DecodeOptions());
     if (!(control == null) && !(control.getWarningType() == null)) {
         // Password policy warning, use control.getWarningType(),
         // and control.getWarningValue().
     }
 } catch (LdapException e) {
     Result result = e.getResult();
     try {
         PasswordPolicyResponseControl control =
                 result.getControl(PasswordPolicyResponseControl.DECODER,
                         new DecodeOptions());
         if (!(control == null)) {
             // Password policy error, use control.getErrorType().
         }
     } catch (DecodeException de) {
         // Failed to decode the response control.
     }
 } catch (DecodeException e) {
     // Failed to decode the response control.
 }

    • Method Detail

      • newControl

        public static PasswordPolicyRequestControl newControl​(boolean isCritical)
        Creates a new password policy request control having the provided criticality.
        Parameters:
        isCritical - true if it is unacceptable to perform the operation without applying the semantics of this control, or false if it can be ignored.
        Returns:
        The new control.

      • getOid

        public String getOid()
        Description copied from interface: Control
        Returns the numeric OID associated with this control.
        Specified by:
        getOid in interface Control
        Returns:
        The numeric OID associated with this control.

      • getValue

        public ByteString getValue()
        Description copied from interface: Control
        Returns the value, if any, associated with this control. Its format is defined by the specification of this control.
        Specified by:
        getValue in interface Control
        Returns:
        The value associated with this control, or null if there is no value.

      • hasValue

        public boolean hasValue()
        Description copied from interface: Control
        Returns true if this control has a value. In some circumstances it may be useful to determine if a control has a value, without actually calculating the value and incurring any performance costs.
        Specified by:
        hasValue in interface Control
        Returns:
        true if this control has a value, or false if there is no value.

      • isCritical

        public boolean isCritical()
        Description copied from interface: Control
        Returns true if it is unacceptable to perform the operation without applying the semantics of this control.

        The criticality field only has meaning in controls attached to request messages (except UnbindRequest). For controls attached to response messages and the UnbindRequest, the criticality field SHOULD be false, and MUST be ignored by the receiving protocol peer. A value of true indicates that it is unacceptable to perform the operation without applying the semantics of the control.

        Specified by:
        isCritical in interface Control
        Returns:
        true if this control must be processed by the Directory Server, or false if it can be ignored.
