Method Detail

getStoredPassword

public ASN1OctetString getStoredPassword()

Retrieves the password as it is (or has the potential to be) stored in the in-memory directory server. If the isEncoded() method returns true, then the stored password will be treated as an encoded password. Otherwise, it will be treated as a clear-text password with no encoding or output formatting.

Returns:

The password as it is (or has the potential to be) stored in the in-memory directory server.

getAttributeName

public java.lang.String getAttributeName()

Retrieves the name of the attribute with which the stored password is associated.

Returns:

The name of the attribute with which the stored password is associated.

isEncoded

public boolean isEncoded()

Indicates whether the stored password is encoded or in the clear.

Returns:

true if the stored password is encoded, or false if it is the clear.

getPasswordEncoder

public InMemoryPasswordEncoder getPasswordEncoder()

Retrieves the password encoder that should be used to interact with the stored password.

Returns:

The password encoder that should be used to interact with the stored password, or null if the password is not encoded.

getClearPassword

public ASN1OctetString getClearPassword()
                                 throws LDAPException

Retrieves the clear-text representation of the stored password, if it is possible to obtain it. If the password is not encoded, then the stored password will be returned as-is. If the stored password is encoded, then the InMemoryPasswordEncoder.extractClearPasswordFromEncodedPassword(com.unboundid.asn1.ASN1OctetString, com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.ReadOnlyEntry) method will be used in an attempt to

Returns:

The clear-text representation of the stored password.

Throws:

LDAPException - If the stored password is encoded using a mechanism that does not permit extracting the clear-text password.

matchesClearPassword

public boolean matchesClearPassword(ASN1OctetString clearPassword)
                             throws LDAPException

Indicates whether this password matches the provided clear-text password.

Parameters:

clearPassword - The clear-text password for which to make the determination.

Returns:

true if this password matches the provided clear-text password, or false if not.

Throws:

LDAPException - If a problem is encountered while trying to make the determination.
