Red Hat Issue Tracker EAP5-23 0 Minor Verified [RFE] Create mechanism to cache passwords from external source for LdapExt login module (PRODMGT-319) 2016-04-22 10:58:30 UTC

Description Scott Mumford 2014-05-01 00:32:15 UTC 
This bug was raised to track documentation efforts for the EAP 5.3 PRD item EAP5-23.
Comment 1 Scott Mumford 2014-05-12 22:25:20 UTC 
Zbyněk Roubalík posted the following in the QA JIRA for this issue (EAP5-37)

In Security Guide, http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/5/html-single/Security_Guide/index.html#sect-LdapExtLoginModule
in chapter LdapExtLoginModule Properties search for: {EXT}cat file_with_password


In bindCredential property you can specify external command to obtain a password, if you put there {EXTC} instead of {EXT}, the password is cached, so the external command is executed only once and password is read from a cache. If you put there {EXTC:TIMEOUT}, the cache is invalidated after TIMEOUT miliseconds, eg. {EXTC:1000} means cache is invalidated after 1000 miliseconds.
If you have any other questions ask me, or contact developer responsible for this feature directly: Peter Škopek (pskopek)
Comment 2 Scott Mumford 2014-05-13 00:22:20 UTC 
The above information has been added to the bindCredential entry in the EAP 5 Security Guide and is available for review at:

http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/5/html-single/Security_Guide/index.html#sect-LdapExtLoginModule

(version 5.3.0-4 or later)
