Class UnrestrictedMethodAuthorizer

  • java.lang.Object
    • org.apache.geode.cache.query.security.UnrestrictedMethodAuthorizer
  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    MethodInvocationAuthorizer
    public final class UnrestrictedMethodAuthorizer
extends java.lang.Object
implements MethodInvocationAuthorizer
    An immutable and thread-safe MethodInvocationAuthorizer that allows any method execution as long as the target object does not belong to a Geode package, or does belong but it's marked as safe (see RestrictedMethodAuthorizer.isAllowedGeodeMethod(Method, Object)).

    Some known dangerous methods, like Object.getClass(), are also rejected by this authorizer implementation, no matter whether the target object belongs to Geode or not (see RestrictedMethodAuthorizer.isPermanentlyForbiddenMethod(Method, Object)).

    This authorizer implementation addresses only three of the four known security risks: Java Reflection, Cache Modification and Region Modification.

    The Region Entry Modification security risk still exists: users with the DATA:READ:RegionName privilege will be able to execute ANY method (even mutators) on the objects stored within the region and on instances used as bind parameters of the OQL, so this authorizer implementation must be used with extreme care.

    Usage of this authorizer implementation is only recommended for secured clusters on which only trusted users and applications have access to the OQL engine. It might also be used on clusters on which the entries stored are immutable.

      • UnrestrictedMethodAuthorizer

        public UnrestrictedMethodAuthorizer​(Cache cache)
        Creates a UnrestrictedMethodAuthorizer object and initializes it so it can be safely used in a multi-threaded environment.

        Applications can use this constructor as part of the initialization for custom authorizers (see Declarable.initialize(Cache, Properties)), when using a declarative approach.

        Parameters:
        cache - the Cache instance that owns this authorizer, required in order to configure the default RestrictedMethodAuthorizer.

      • UnrestrictedMethodAuthorizer

        public UnrestrictedMethodAuthorizer​(RestrictedMethodAuthorizer restrictedMethodAuthorizer)
        Creates a UnrestrictedMethodAuthorizer object and initializes it so it can be safely used in a multi-threaded environment.

        Parameters:
        restrictedMethodAuthorizer - the default RestrictedMethodAuthorizer to use.

      • authorize

        public boolean authorize​(java.lang.reflect.Method method,
                         java.lang.Object target)
        Executes the authorization logic to determine whether the method is allowed to be executed on the target object instance. If the target object is an instance of Region, this methods also ensures that the user has the DATA:READ permission granted for the target Region.

        Specified by:
        authorize in interface MethodInvocationAuthorizer
        Parameters:
        method - the Method that should be authorized.
        target - the Object on which the Method will be executed.
        Returns:
        true if the method can be executed on on the target instance, false otherwise.
