J2EE Misconfiguration: Missing Authentication Method

Java/JSP

Abstract

若未设置登录配置，安全和授权限制将会失败。

Explanation

<login-config> 元素用于配置用户如何对应用程序进行身份验证。缺少身份验证方法意味着应用程序不了解如何应用授权限制，因为任何用户都无法登录。使用 <auth-method> 标签（<login-config> 的子标签）指定身份验证方法。

共有四种身份验证方法：BASIC、FORM、DIGEST和CLIENT_CERT。

BASIC 表示 HTTP 基本身份验证。
FORM 表示基于表单的身份验证。
DIGEST 与 BASIC 身份验证类似；但是，DIGEST 会对密码进行加密。
CLIENT_CERT 要求客户端具备公钥证书并使用 SSL/TLS。

示例 1：以下配置未指定登录配置。


<web-app>

    <!-- servlet declarations -->
    <servlet>...</servlet>

    <!-- servlet mappings-->
    <servlet-mapping>...</servlet-mapping>

    <!-- security-constraints-->
    <security-constraint>...</security-constraint>

    <!-- login-config goes here -->

    <!-- security-roles -->
    <security-role>...</security-role>

</web-app>
