Description

In a sidebar discussion today, Matt an I decided we should use a custom Session type to encapsulate what we've been calling the X509Certificate. This will be a D1-specific type comprised of the following components:
Subject (our D1 version of java.security.Principal)
PrincipalList

We will construct these Session objects from the contents of a true java X509Certificate but this allows us to generate a custom class (jibx) and use this class in our interface definitions (applicable across programming languages like python).

Methods that had previously been defined to use X509Certifcate (a placeholder class to begin with) should be changed to use Types.Session.

History

#1 Updated by Ben Leinfelder almost 13 years ago

A few TODOs:
-rename Principal to Subject in d1 schema (0.6.1 tag?)
-use Subject rather than Principal in interface/impl classes
-create Session type (0.6.1 tag?) (comprised of Subject and PrincipalList)
-remove X509Certificate placeholder from d1 schema
-replace X509Certificate references with the Session object
-consider renaming PrincipalList to SubjectList and renaming the Principal member variables in Person and AccessRule to use new 'Subject' nomenclature to be consistent.

-- Principal renamed to Subject and PrincipalList renamed to SubjectList in schema and java {common, libclient, integration, identity_manager}. Still need to check CN code.
-- Session class added in schema.
-- X509Certificate removed from schema.
-- Subject nomenclature used throughout schema now.
