Interface VOMSACValidator

All Superinterfaces:
VOMSACParser
All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultVOMSValidator

public interface VOMSACValidator extends VOMSACParser
This interface extends the VOMSACParser interface and provides methods to perform validation on the VOMS Attribute Certificates parsed from a given certificate chain.
  • Method Details

    • validate

      List<VOMSAttribute> validate(X509Certificate[] validatedChain)
      Parses and validates the VOMS attributes found in the certificate chain passed as argument (which is assumed to be validated already). This method returns the possibly empty list of the validated attributes. This method should be used in conjunction with the registration of a ValidationResultListener to get details about validation error and warning messages. Use the validateWithResult(X509Certificate[]) method in case you don't want to rely on a ValidationResultListener.
      Parameters:
      validatedChain - a validated X.509 certificate chain
      Returns:
      a possibly empty list of VOMSAttribute object providing access to the validated VOMS attributes
    • validateWithResult

      List<VOMSValidationResult> validateWithResult(X509Certificate[] validatedChain)
      Parses and validates the VOMS attributes found in the certificate chain passed as argument (which is assumed to be validated already). This method returns a possibly empty list of VOMSValidationResult objects which describe the outcome of the validation for each VOMS AC found in the certificate chain. This method is useful when you want to use a single call to get all details about validation without relying on the registration of a ValidationResultListener.
      Parameters:
      validatedChain - a chain of X.509 certificates
      Returns:
      a possibly empty list of VOMSValidationResult object providing access to validation results and related attributes
    • validateACs

      List<org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AttributeCertificate> validateACs(List<org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AttributeCertificate> acs)
      Validates the VOMS attributes found in the attribute certificate list passed as argument.
      Parameters:
      acs - a list of AttributeCertificate
      Returns:
      the validated and possibly empty list of AttributeCertificate object
    • setValidationResultListener

      void setValidationResultListener(ValidationResultListener listener)
      Sets a listener that will received validation-related events for this VOMSACValidator.
      Parameters:
      listener - the listener that will receive validation-related events.
    • shutdown

      void shutdown()
      Shutdown the VOMS validator. This method should be called to perform final cleanup operations.
