Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ PasswordType

The used password type.

Enumerator
None 

Ignore password check.

Clear 

Clear text password.

Hashed 

Derived password hash using PBKDF2 method.

SelfCheck 

Validate password by binding the user DN to LDAP server.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CredentialPassword()

CredentialPassword::CredentialPassword ( QObject * parent = nullptr)
explicit

◆ ~CredentialPassword()

CredentialPassword::~CredentialPassword ( )
overridevirtual

Destroys the CredentialPassword object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ authenticate()

AuthenticationUser CredentialPassword::authenticate ( Context * c,
AuthenticationRealm * realm,
const ParamsMultiMap & authinfo )
nodiscardfinalvirtual

Tries to authenticate the user from the authinfo by searching it in the given realm. If found, the password will be checked according to the set passwordType(). On success, a not null AuthenticationUser object will be returned.

Implements Cutelyst::AuthenticationCredential.

◆ createPassword() [1/3]

QByteArray CredentialPassword::createPassword ( const QByteArray & password)
staticnodiscard

Returns a derived hash from the clear text password with sensible defaults using the pbkdf2() method.

This uses SHA-512 with 10.000 iterations and 16 bytes size for salt and hash.

Note
If you want to use pre and post salts you have to manually add them to the password.

◆ createPassword() [2/3]

QByteArray CredentialPassword::createPassword ( const QByteArray & password,
QCryptographicHash::Algorithm method,
int iterations,
int saltByteSize,
int hashByteSize )
staticnodiscard

Returns a derived hash from the clear text password with the given method, iterations, saltByteSize and hashByteSize using the pbkdf2() method.

Note
If you want to use pre and post salts you have to manually add them to the password.

◆ createPassword() [3/3]

QString Cutelyst::CredentialPassword::createPassword ( const QString & password)
inlinestaticnodiscard

Returns a derived hash from the clear text password with sensible defaults using the pbkdf2() method.

This uses SHA-512 with 10.000 iterations and 16 bytes size for salt and hash.

const QByteArray & key,
const QByteArray & message )
staticnodiscard

Generates the Hash-based message authentication code.

Definition at line 236 of file credentialpassword.cpp.

◆ passwordField()

QString CredentialPassword::passwordField ( ) const
nodiscard

Returns the field to look for when authenticating the user.
