public abstract class CipherStreamProvider
extends java.lang.Object
implements UnboundIDExtension, Reconfigurable<CipherStreamProviderConfig>, ExampleUsageProvider

This class defines an API that must be implemented by extensions which provide access to cipher input streams and cipher output streams to be used by the server in order to read and write encrypted data.

Configuring Cipher Stream Providers

In order to configure a cipher stream provider created using this API, use a command like:

      dsconfig create-cipher-stream-provider \
           --provider-name "{provider-name}" \
           --type third-party \
           --set enabled:true \
           --set "extension-class:{class-name}" \
           --set "extension-argument:{name=value}"
 

where "{provider-name}" is the name to use for the cipher stream provider instance, "{class-name}" is the fully-qualified name of the Java class that extends com.unboundid.directory.sdk.ds.api.CipherStreamProvider, and "{name=value}" represents name-value pairs for any arguments to provide to the cipher stream provider. If multiple arguments should be provided to the cipher stream provider, then the "--set extension-argument:{name=value}" option should be provided multiple times.

Method Detail

getExtensionName

public abstract java.lang.String getExtensionName()

Retrieves a human-readable name for this extension.

Specified by:

getExtensionName in interface UnboundIDExtension

Returns:

A human-readable name for this extension.

getExtensionDescription

public abstract java.lang.String[] getExtensionDescription()

Retrieves a human-readable description for this extension. Each element of the array that is returned will be considered a separate paragraph in generated documentation.

public void defineConfigArguments(ArgumentParser parser)
                           throws ArgumentException

Updates the provided argument parser to define any configuration arguments which may be used by this extension. The argument parser may also be updated to define relationships between arguments (e.g., to specify required, exclusive, or dependent argument sets).

Specified by:

defineConfigArguments in interface Configurable

Parameters:

parser - The argument parser to be updated with the configuration arguments which may be used by this extension.

Throws:

ArgumentException - If a problem is encountered while updating the provided argument parser.

Throws:

LDAPException - If a problem occurs while creating the cipher output stream.

getBackupCompatibilityProperties

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getBackupCompatibilityProperties()

Retrieves a map with information about any backup compatibility properties that are specific to this cipher stream provider.

Returns:

A map with information about any backup compatibility properties that are specific to this cipher stream provider. It may be null or empty if there are no provider-specific properties.

identifyBackupCompatibilityProblems

public void identifyBackupCompatibilityProblems(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> sourceProperties,
                                                java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> targetProperties,
                                                java.util.List<java.lang.CharSequence> errorMessages,
                                                java.util.List<java.lang.CharSequence> warningMessages)

Examines the provided set of backup compatibility properties to determine whether there might be any warning or error conditions that may interfere with the ability to restore a backup of the encryption settings database. The default implementation does not do anything, but subclasses may override this method to provide any appropriate warning and error messages.

Parameters:

sourceProperties - A map of properties (obtained from the getBackupCompatibilityProperties() method) from the backup to be restore. The contents of this map must not be altered.

targetProperties - A map of properties (obtained from the getBackupCompatibilityProperties() method) from the server in which the backup is to be restored. The contents of this map must not be altered.

errorMessages - A list that may be updated with messages about any compatibility errors that have been identified. If any compatibility errors are identified, the restore will be aborted.

warningMessages - A list that may be updated with messages about any compatibility warnings that have been identified. If any compatibility warnings are identified, they will be presented to a user attempting a restore, but the user may choose to ignore them if they are certain that the issue will not cause any problems.

getBackupCompatibilityPropertyStrings

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getBackupCompatibilityPropertyStrings(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> propertyMap)

Retrieves a list of human-readable string representations for the provided cipher-stream-provider-specific backup compatibility properties. The list returned does not need to have a one-to-one mapping with the properties (e.g., it may omit information about some properties, or it may combine information from multiple properties into a single string, or it may convert one property into multiple strings). It may also be null if this cipher stream provider does not expect to have any provider-specific properties.

Parameters:

propertyMap - A map of the property names and the associated values to use in obtaining the human-readable string representations.

Returns:

A list of human-readable string representations for the provider-specific backup compatibility properties, or null if this cipher stream provider does not expect to have any provider-specific properties.

getBackupLogMessages

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getBackupLogMessages()

Retrieves a list of messages that should be logged (and made available in the output) when backing up an encryption settings database protected with this cipher stream provider. For example, this may be used to warn about additional files that may also need to be backed up separately (e.g., an encryption key stored in a separate file).

Returns:

A list of messages that should be logged when backing up an encryption settings database protected with this cipher stream provider. It may be null or empty if no log messages are needed.

getExamplesArgumentSets

public java.util.Map<java.util.List<java.lang.String>,java.lang.String> getExamplesArgumentSets()

Retrieves a map containing examples of configurations that may be used for this extension. The map key should be a list of sample arguments, and the corresponding value should be a description of the behavior that will be exhibited by the extension when used with that configuration.

Specified by:

getExamplesArgumentSets in interface ExampleUsageProvider

Returns:

A map containing examples of configurations that may be used for this extension. It may be null or empty if there should not be any example argument sets.
