This interface is implemented by a mechanism specific instance of a GSS security context. A GSSContextSpi object can be thought of having 3 states: -before initialization -during initialization with its peer -after it is established

The context options can only be requested in state 1. In state 3, the per message operations are available to the callers. The get methods for the context options will return the requested options while in state 1 and 2, and the established values in state 3. Some mechanisms may allow the access to the per-message operations and the context flags before the context is fully established. The isProtReady method is used to indicate that these services are available.

Context establishment tokens are defined in a mechanism independent format in section 3.1 of RFC 2743. The GSS-Framework will add and remove the mechanism independent header portion of this token format depending on whether a token is received or is being sent. The mechanism should only generate or expect to read the inner-context token portion..

On the other hands, tokens used for per-message calls are generated entirely by the mechanism. It is possible that the mechanism chooses to encase inner-level per-message tokens in a header similar to that used for initial tokens, however, this is upto the mechanism to do. The token to/from the per-message calls are opaque to the GSS-Framework.

An attempt has been made to allow for reading the peer's tokens from an InputStream and writing tokens for the peer to an OutputStream. This allows applications to pass in streams that are obtained from their network connections and thus minimize the buffer copies that will happen. This is especially important for tokens generated by wrap() which are proportional in size to the length of the application data being wrapped, and are probably also the most frequently used type of tokens.

It is anticipated that most applications will want to use wrap() in a fashion where they obtain the application bytes to wrap from a byte[] but want to output the wrap token straight to an OutputStream. Similarly, they will want to use unwrap() where they read the token directly form an InputStream but output it to some byte[] for the application to process. Unfortunately the high level GSS bindings do not contain overloaded forms of wrap() and unwrap() that do just this, however we have accomodated those cases here with the expectation that this will be rolled into the high level bindings sooner or later.

Initiator context establishment call. This method may be required to be called several times. A CONTINUE_NEEDED return call indicates that more calls are needed after the next token is received from the peer.

This method is called by the GSS-Framework when the application calls the initSecContext method on the GSSContext implementation that it has a reference to.

All overloaded forms of GSSContext.initSecContext() can be handled with this mechanism level initSecContext. Since the output token from this method is a fixed size, not exeedingly large, and a one time deal, an overloaded form that takes an OutputStream has not been defined. The GSS-Framwork can write the returned byte[] to any application provided OutputStream. Similarly, any application input int he form of byte arrays will be wrapped in an input stream by the GSS-Framework and then passed here.

The GSS-Framework will strip off the leading mechanism independent GSS-API header. In other words, only the mechanism specific inner-context token of RFC 2743 section 3.1 will be available on the InputStream.

Params:
  • is – contains the inner context token portion of the GSS token received from the peer. On the first call to initSecContext, there will be no token hence it will be ignored.
  • mechTokenSize – the size of the inner context token as read by the GSS-Framework from the mechanism independent GSS-API level header.
Throws:
Returns:any inner-context token required to be sent to the peer as part of a GSS token. The mechanism should not add the mechanism independent part of the token. The GSS-Framework will add that on the way out.

Acceptor's context establishment call. This method may be required to be called several times. A CONTINUE_NEEDED return call indicates that more calls are needed after the next token is received from the peer.
