Example Overview

Example name : SecuredAdminExample.java
Location : <Web NMS Home>/examples/Security/authorization directory

This example explains how to use the methods present in the SecuredAdminAPI which have password as one of their arguments during the RMI mode of communication using the Cryptography technique.

The interfaces used in this example are : SecuredAdminAPI and CryptoGraphAPI

Methods used in this example are :

createUser

public boolean createUser(java.lang.String userName, java.lang.String groupName, java.lang.String password) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, AuthorizationException

enCrypt

public string enCrypt(java.lang.String plainText) throws CryptoGraphException

createUserForOwner

public boolean createUserForOwner(java.lang.String userName, java.lang.String groupName, java.lang.String password, java.lang.String ownerName) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, AuthorizationException.

changePasswordForSuper

public boolean changePassword(ava.lang.String userName, java.lang.String password)throws java.rmi.Exception, AuthorizationException.

changePassword

public boolean changePassword(java.lang.String userName, java.lang.String old_pass, java.lang.String new_pass) throws java.rmi.Exception AuthorizationException.

Note : The source code will have comment statements in it which will explain to you the different segments of the program.

Integration with Web NMS

The steps given below will help you in integrating this example with Web NMS. If any of the steps given below are not followed properly, then the example might not function in a desired manner.

Set the <Web NMS Home>/classes directory to classpath
Compile the SecurityAdminExample.java source file [ javac -d <Web NMS Home>/classes SecurityAdminExample.java ]
Ensure that the class file is placed in the <Web NMS Home>/classes directory after compilation, in line with the package name specified in the program
Now start the Web NMS Server and wait till it successfully starts up
Execute the program with the command line arguments as mentioned below :
1. For creating a user -

java com.adventnet.nms.example.security.authorization.SecurityAdminExample   -cu <username> <group name> <password>

For changing password -

java com.adventnet.nms.example.security.authorization.SecurityAdminExample   -cp <username> <old password > <new password>

For creating user with owner -

java com.adventnet.nms.example.security.authorization.SecurityAdminExample   -co <username> <group name> <password> <owner name>

For changing password directly without taking the old password -

java com.adventnet.nms.example.security.authorization.SecurityAdminExample   -csu <username> <password>

The program will encrypt the password for the methods and thus a secured mode of communication can be established

Sample Output

On successful completion of task 1 (as mentioned above), the output message printed in your console will be : "CREATED USER SUCCESSFULLY"
On successful completion of task 2 (as mentioned above), the output message printed in your console will be : "PASSWORD CHANGED SUCCESSFULLY'
On successful completion of task 3 (as mentioned above), the output message printed in your console will be : "CREATED USER SUCCESSFULLY"
On successful completion of task 4 (as mentioned above), the output message printed in your console will be : "PASSWORD CHANGED SUCCESSFULLY'

If there are any errors, while executing any of the above tasks, a suitable message to that effect is displayed.

De-referencing

After you have tried this example, to remove its association with Web NMS, you must remove the class file SecurityAdminExample.class from <Web NMS Home>/classes/com/adventnet/nms/example/security/authorization directory.
