public final class TokenCredentialCreator
extends CMPTokenCredentialReader

This credential reader is designed for creating an Entrust user's Digital Identity on a PKCS#11 device (token).

All communication with the token is done using the PKCS#11 version 2.01 API. All communication with the Entrust Security Manager is done using the PKIX-CMP protocol.

Creating a Digital Identity involves generating all client generated key pairs on the token, requesting all server generated key pairs from the Security Manager, and securely storing all Digital Identity information on the token.

When creating a Digital Identity, the user must have a connection to the Security Manager and Directory set, and must have a credential writer set. The only credential writer that can be used with this credential reader is a TokenWriter. Below is an example of how a user's Digital Identity can be created (all capitalized values must be provided by the user):

 User user = new User();
 
 JNDIDirectory directory = new JNDIDirectory(DIRECTORY_IP, DIRECTORY_PORT);
 ManagerTransport transport = new ManagerTransport(MANAGER_IP, MANAGER_PORT);
 user.setConnections(directory, transport);

 PKCS11LibraryConnection p11LibConn = new PKCS11LibraryConnection(P11_LIB);
 long slotId = new PKCS11Information(p11LibConn).getSlotList(true).getSlotIDs()[0];

 SecureStringBuffer secureRefNum = new SecureStringBuffer(REF_NUM);
 AuthorizationCode secureAuthCode = new AuthorizationCode(AUTH_CODE);
 SecureStringBuffer securePassword = new SecureStringBuffer(PASSWORD);
 CredentialReader credentialReader = new TokenCredentialCreator(secureRefNum, secureAuthCode, slotId, p11LibConn);
 CredentialWriter credentialWriter = new TokenWriter(ENTRUST_PATH, ENTRUST_USER);
 user.setCredentialWriter(credentialWriter);
 user.login(credentialReader, securePassword);

Constructor Detail

TokenCredentialCreator

public TokenCredentialCreator(SecureStringBuffer referenceNumber,
                              AuthorizationCode authorizationCode,
                              long slotId,
                              PKCS11LibraryConnection pkcs11LibraryConnection)

A constructor; create a new TokenCredentialCreator object configured for use with a PKCS#11 device that has already been initialized.

This constructor should be used when the PKCS#11 device (token) that will be used to store the Digital Identity has already been set up with a Normal User. Prior to Digital Identity creation, the token will be prepared using one of the deletion mechanisms. A deletion mechanism indicates which objects on the token must be deleted; this can be set by calling setDeletionMechanism(TokenDeletionMechanism). The default deletion mechanism will simply delete all objects created by Entrust from the token.

When the user logs in, the token located at the indicated slot ID will be connected to using the PKCS#11 library provided. The token is then prepared, which may delete some of the objects it currently contains. Next, the Normal User is logged in to the token using the user's log-on password. At this point the token is ready for the Digital Identity create operation.

Using the reference number and authentication code, the user's Digital Identity is created using the PKIX-CMP protocol. Any keys that are to be client generated are generated directly on the token. All other Digital Identity information is retrieved from the Security Manager and written to the token.

Parameters:

referenceNumber - the reference number assigned to the user; an 8 digit integer obtained from the Security Manager by the PKI Administrator

authorizationCode - the authorization code assigned to the user; an alphanumeric string (of the form ABCD-EFGH-IJKL) obtained from the Security Manager by the PKI Administrator

slotId - the slot ID indicating the location on the token where the user's Digital Identity will be stored

Note

A list of slot IDs can be retrieved from the token by calling the getSlotList() method from the PKCS11Information class.

pkcs11LibraryConnection - a connection to the PKCS#11 library of the token

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown if any of the required parameters are null

A constructor; create a new TokenCredentialCreator object configured for use with a PKCS#11 device that has already been initialized and allows Security Officer PIN change.

This constructor should be used when the PKCS#11 device (token) that will be used to store the Digital Identity has already been set up with a Normal User. It also provides the ability to change the Security Officer PIN. Prior to Digital Identity creation, the token will be prepared using one of the deletion mechanisms.

TokenCredentialCreator

public TokenCredentialCreator(SecureStringBuffer referenceNumber,
                              AuthorizationCode authorizationCode,
                              long slotId,

                              SecureStringBuffer soPin,
                              java.lang.String label)

A constructor; create a new TokenCredentialCreator object configured for use with a PKCS#11 device that has not yet been initialized.

This constructor should be used when the PKCS#11 device (token) that will be used to store the Digital Identity has not yet been initialized, or is to be re-initialized. Prior to Digital Identity creation, the token will be initialized by calling the PKCS#11 function C_InitPIN. Be aware that not all tokens support this action; in this case, the token must be manually set up with a Normal User by some external means (custom token utilities).

When the user logs in, the token located at the indicated slot ID will be connected to using the PKCS#11 library provided. The token is then initialized, which will delete all information it currently contains, set the Security Officer PIN, and set the token label. Next, the Normal User PIN is initialized to the user's log-on password, and the Normal User is logged in to the token. At this point the token is ready for the Digital Identity create operation.

Using the reference number and authentication code, the user's Digital Identity is created using the PKIX-CMP protocol. Any keys that are to be client generated are generated directly on the token. All other Digital Identity information is retrieved from the Security Manager and written to the token.

Note

Setting a deletion mechanism after using this constructor will not have any effect on how the token is prepared for the Digital Identity creation operation. This constructor always initializes the token, which automatically deletes all objects from the token.

Parameters:

referenceNumber - the reference number assigned to the user; an 8 digit integer obtained from the Security Manager by the PKI Administrator

authorizationCode - the authorization code assigned to the user; an alphanumeric string (of the form ABCD-EFGH-IJKL) obtained from the Security Manager by the PKI Administrator

slotId - the slot ID indicating the location on the token where the user's Digital Identity will be stored

Note

A list of slot IDs can be retrieved from the token by calling the getSlotList() method from the PKCS11Information class.

pkcs11LibraryConnection - a connection to the PKCS#11 library of the token

soPin - the PIN of the Security Officer user on the token; this is automatically set when the token is initialized

label - a label for the token; this is automatically set when the token is initialized

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown if any of the required parameters are null
