jsf security-contraint to protect link when the us

2019-07-13 19:15发布

问题:

I have a JSF2 (GlassFish 3.0) application which security constraints defined (example below). My problem is, I have a "sign up" link that should not be accessible when the user is logged in.

That is, if they try to hit "/signup.jsf" they should be able to access is if they are logged; so if the have any roles, they should not be able to see the page.

Is there a way to do an "inverse" security constraint like that?

Any suggestions are welcome, thanks! Rob

Example constraint from my app, in case that's useful:

<security-constraint>
    <display-name>profileForm</display-name>
    <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>profileForm</web-resource-name>
        <url-pattern>/profileForm.jsf</url-pattern>
        <http-method>DELETE</http-method>
        <http-method>GET</http-method>
        <http-method>POST</http-method>
        <http-method>PUT</http-method>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
        <role-name>GENERAL</role-name>
        <role-name>ADMIN</role-name>
        <role-name>STAFF</role-name>
        <role-name>INSTRUCTOR</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
    <user-data-constraint>
        <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
    </user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>

Just create a Filter which does exactly that.

@WebFilter(urlPatterns={"/signup.jsf"})
public class SignupFilter implements Filter {

    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
        // ...

        if (userIsLoggedIn) {
            ((HttpServletResponse) response).sendRedirect("already_loggedin.jsf");
        } else {
            chain.doFilter(request, response);
        }
    }

    // ...
}

There is really nothing which standard JSF offers out the box with regard to authorization/authentication. JSF is just a component based MVC framework.
