Fixed In Version: qpid-java-0.22-1.el5, qpid-java-0.22-2.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
It was discovered that the URLParser threw an exception if the username and password was missing from a connection URL. Due to this behavior, it was mandatory to specify a username and password, even if the SASL mechanism chosen did not require it. The URL parser no longer throws an exception if the username or password is missing. Instead it checks if the chosen SASL mechanism (selected during connection negotiation) requires it and then throws an exception at that point.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2014:1296 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Red Hat Enterprise MRG Messaging 3.0 Release 2014-09-24 19:00:06 UTC

Description Pavel Moravec 2011-08-05 11:57:41 UTC
Description of problem:
Section 3.2.2 of the MRG 2.0/programming in Apache Qpid guide says that the username/password in the JNDI connection URL is optional:

amqp://[<user>:<pass>@][<clientid>]<virtualhost>[?<option>='<value>'[&<option>='<value>']]

However skipping the [<user>:<pass>@] part in an URL leads to exception raised.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
any (tested on MRG-M 2.0)

How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set auth=no in /etc/qpidd.conf
2. Run connectionURLWithoutUserInfo in attached JUnit test

  
Actual results:
Exception raised:

User information not found on url between indicies 7 and 1 amqp://clientid/test?brokerlist='tcp://localhost:5672' ^ at org.apache.qpid.url.URLHelper.parseError(URLHelper.java:143) at org.apache.qpid.url.URLHelper.parseError(URLHelper.java:138) at org.apache.qpid.client.url.URLParser.parseURL(URLParser.java:111) at org.apache.qpid.client.url.URLParser.<init>(URLParser.java:42) at org.apache.qpid.client.AMQConnectionURL.<init>(AMQConnectionURL.java:63) at com.gs.mrg.eval.PLAIN_AuthenticationExample.connectionURLWithoutUserInfo(PLAIN_AuthenticationExample.java:109) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall(FrameworkMethod.java:44) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:15) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod.invokeExplosively(FrameworkMethod.java:41) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.InvokeMethod.evaluate(InvokeMethod.java:20) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.RunBefores.evaluate(RunBefores.java:28) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runLeaf(ParentRunner.java:274) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:70) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:48) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:242) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:58) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:240) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:48) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:233) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:303) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit4.runner.JUnit4TestReference.run(JUnit4TestReference.java:49) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:467) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:683) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java:390) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:197)


Expected results:
No exception raised, the broker should authenticate the connection request.

patch proposal

Simple patch proposal.

When parsing connectionURL detects no credentials, don't raise exception but set username and password to some dummy-like values.

As C++ qpid broker deals with anonymous users as "anonymous@QPID" (QPID is realm), username set to "anonymous".

patch proposal

New version of patch. It again sets username to "anonymous" and password to "" (only when the credentials are missing), but further:

    * if sasl_mechs is present and not ANONYMOUS, it raises an exception
    * if sasl_mechs is not present, it logs warning that sasl_mechs is being set to ANONYMOUS (as we assume that no credentials means ANONYMOUS mechanism so we have to restrict the client to it)

Comment 8 Pavel Moravec 2013-07-29 06:21:34 UTC
How to test with JUnit:

1) install JUnit - either from RPM or download from junit.org or sourceforge.net or so.


2) set CLASSPATH properly, like:
export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/src/junit4.10/junit-4.10.jar:$(find "/usr/share/java/" -name '*.jar' | tr '\n' ":")

Replace the *junit* part by the filename with absolute path to junit JAR (and optionally replace /usr/share/java by path to your JDK).


3) Compile it as usual:
javac -cp  "$CLASSPATH\." -sourcepath .  CredentialsOptional.java


4) Run the test:
java -cp  "$CLASSPATH\." org.junit.runner.JUnitCore CredentialsOptional

Comment 12 Rajith Attapattu 2013-09-26 20:38:35 UTC
The fix is in the common code used by both the new and the old client.
Therefore this fix is applicable to the new client as well.
