Interface RadiusPacketHandler

public interface RadiusPacketHandler

This interface is intended to be implemented by a system integrator to define RADIUS attributes to be sent to a RADIUS server when various types of requests are made, and to define which attributes should be retrieved from a RADIUS authorization response for update to the plug-in event.

Method Summary

boolean	formatRequest(RadiusPacketDelegate delegate, int action, RadiusPluginEvent event) Formats a RADIUS request packet by including RADIUS attribute identifier-value pairs in the packet.
boolean	handleResponse(RadiusPacketDelegate delegate, int action, RadiusPluginEvent event) Retrieves attribute values from a RADIUS authorization response packet and updates the plug-in event with these values.

Method Detail

formatRequest

public boolean formatRequest(RadiusPacketDelegate delegate,
                             int action,
                             RadiusPluginEvent event)
                      throws RadiusPacketFailedAccessException

Formats a RADIUS request packet by including RADIUS attribute identifier-value pairs in the packet. The formatting can be defined by different request types. The attribute values are retrieved from the plug-in event.

Parameters:

delegate - An instance of the RadiusPacketDelegate interface which provides access to the RADIUS packet.

action - Encoded integer that defines the request type. See RadiusPluginUtil.is*Request()for details.

event - Instance of the plug-in event that keeps track of specified RADIUS attribute values.

Returns:

true if the action matches one or more request type that is defined in this method.

Throws:

RadiusPacketFailedAccessException - Raised if the formatting is invalid.

handleResponse

public boolean handleResponse(RadiusPacketDelegate delegate,
                              int action,
                              RadiusPluginEvent event)
                       throws RadiusPacketFailedAccessException

Retrieves attribute values from a RADIUS authorization response packet and updates the plug-in event with these values. The handling can be defined by different authorization response types.

Parameters:

delegate - An instance of the RadiusPacketDelegate interface which provides access to the RADIUS packet.

action - Encoded integer that defines the authorization response type. See RadiusPluginUtil.is*Resp()for details.

event - Instance of the plug-in event that keeps track of specified attribute values and that allows updates to these attributes.

Returns:

true if the action matches one or more authorization response type that is defined in this method.

Throws:

RadiusPacketFailedAccessException - Raised if the access to the RADIUS packet to obtain attribute values fails.
