Samizdat is a toolkit for Java for building Kerberos secured distributed, message-oriented applications. The toolkit contains base classes that simplifies the management of Kerberos login contexts as well as flexibly sign and seal messages between principals using the Java GSS API. The toolkit contains Transformation classes for Kerberizing JMS traffic as well as a super-lean HTTP based protocol stack that supports both Synchronous (RPC) and Asynchronous modalities.

Features

  • Build Kerberized RPC and Async MQ applications with a Simple API
  • Kerberos Mutual Authentication with Session Key Encryption of Request and Response
  • Provides Simple ACL Manager and Audit Logger much like DCE
  • Highly Portable and Embeddable: Only requires Commons Codec and SLF4J
  • Javadoc, Demonstration Executable JAR and PDF User Resources in Files download area

Project Samples

RPC Servers use a Kerberos Keytab and Properties files for all deployment Configuration. This demo server is accepting RPCs from 'jrd' and rejecting access from 'krishna' ; The ACL is a simple Properties file. An Kerberos Authenticated+Encrypted RPC Server can be setup with less than a dozen lines of code. RPC Clients are also very simple, you can configure clients from Properties files, or explicitly using the API. This shows an RPC client being run twice. In the first case, it's setup to authenticate as 'jrd', in the second case, after editing props file, it tries logged in a 'krishna' and is rejected by the server. Simple API lets you Launch a Kerberized RPC Server with very little complexity
