Class IntermediateClientRequestControl

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    @NotMutable
    @ThreadSafety(level=COMPLETELY_THREADSAFE)
    public final class IntermediateClientRequestControl
    extends Control
    This class defines an intermediate client request control, which can be used to provide a server with information about the client and any downstream clients that it may have. It can be used to help trace operations from the client to the directory server, potentially through any intermediate hops (like proxy servers) that may also support the intermediate client controls.
    NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

    This control is not based on any public standard. It was originally developed for use with the Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 Directory Server. The value of this control uses the following encoding:

     IntermediateClientRequest ::= SEQUENCE {
          downstreamRequest        [0] IntermediateClientRequest OPTIONAL,
          downstreamClientAddress  [1] OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
          downstreamClientSecure   [2] BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
          clientIdentity           [3] authzId OPTIONAL,
          clientName               [4] OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
          clientSessionID          [5] OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
          clientRequestID          [6] OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
          ... }
     

    Example

    The following example demonstrates the use of the intermediate client controls to perform a search operation in the directory server. The request will be from an application named "my client" with a session ID of "session123" and a request ID of "request456":
     SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest("dc=example,dc=com",
          SearchScope.SUB, Filter.createEqualityFilter("uid", "john.doe"));
     searchRequest.addControl(new IntermediateClientRequestControl(null, null,
          null, null, "my client", "session123", "request456"));
     SearchResult searchResult = connection.search(searchRequest);
    
     IntermediateClientResponseControl c =
          IntermediateClientResponseControl.get(searchResult);
     if (c != null)
     {
       // There was an intermediate client response control.
       IntermediateClientResponseValue responseValue = c.getResponseValue();
     }

        Creates a new intermediate client request control with the provided information. It will be marked critical.
        Parameters:
        downstreamRequest - A wrapped intermediate client request from a downstream client. It may be null if there is no downstream request.
        downstreamClientAddress - The IP address or resolvable name of the downstream client system. It may be null if there is no downstream client or its address is not available.
        downstreamClientSecure - Indicates whether communication with the downstream client is secure. It may be null if there is no downstream client or it is not known whether the communication is secure.
        clientIdentity - The requested client authorization identity. It may be null if there is no requested authorization identity.
        clientName - An identifier string that summarizes the client application that created this intermediate client request. It may be null if that information is not available.
        clientSessionID - A string that may be used to identify the session in the client application. It may be null if there is no available session identifier.
        clientRequestID - A string that may be used to identify the request in the client application. It may be null if there is no available request identifier.
