Interface ISSOCallback

public interface ISSOCallback

Defines the Perforce Single Sign On (SSO) callback interface.

See the p4 undoc help for a full explanation of the Perforce SSO scheme -- it will not be explained here in any detail.

MAX_CRED_LENGTH

static final int MAX_CRED_LENGTH

Maximum length in bytes allowed for the SSO credentials sent back to the Perforce server. Any StringBuffer passed to the method(s) below will be truncated to this length before transmission.

ISSOCallback.Status getSSOCredentials(StringBuffer credBuffer,
                                      String ssoKey,
                                      String userName)

Return the Single Sign On (SSO) credentials for a specific Perforce server and Perforce user combination.

If the method returns true, the associated string buffer contents are truncated (if necessary) to MAX_CRED_LENGTH bytes, then passed back to the Perforce server's SSO handler. If the method returns false, P4Java returns an auth fail to the Perforce server and it reacts accordingly. No character set translation or any other changes are made to the contents of the buffer before transmission.

Note: as with all P4Java callbacks, providers are responsible for ensuring that the callback is thread-safe and does not block.

Parameters:

credBuffer - StringBuffer to be filled in with SSO credentials to be sent back to the Perforce server

ssoKey - possibly-null opaque string associated with this callback and IServer object by a previous register call.

userName - current Perforce user name for the IServer; may be null if no user name has yet been associated with the server.

Returns:

status of whether the credential buffer was retrieve (Status.PASS), not retrieved (Status.FAIL), or not attempted to be retrieved (Status.UNSET).
