javax.sip.header
Interface WWWAuthenticateHeader

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Header, Parameters, java.io.Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

ProxyAuthenticateHeader

public interface WWWAuthenticateHeader

extends Parameters, Header

This interface represents the WWW-Authenticate response-header. A WWW-Authenticate header field value contains an authentication challenge. When a UAS receives a request from a UAC, the UAS MAY authenticate the originator before the request is processed. If no credentials (in the Authorization header field) are provided in the request, the UAS can challenge the originator to provide credentials by rejecting the request with a 401 (Unauthorized) status code. The WWW-Authenticate response-header field MUST be included in 401 (Unauthorized) response messages. The field value consists of at least one challenge that indicates the authentication scheme(s) and parameters applicable to the realm.

For Example:
WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="atlanta.com", domain="sip:boxesbybob.com", qop="auth", nonce="f84f1cec41e6cbe5aea9c8e88d359", opaque="", stale=FALSE, algorithm=MD5

Since:

v1.1

getScheme

public java.lang.String getScheme()

Returns the scheme of the challenge information for this WWWAuthenticateHeader.

Returns:

Throws:

java.text.ParseException - which signals that an error has been reached unexpectedly while parsing the realm.

Since:

v1.1

getRealm

public java.lang.String getRealm()

Returns the Realm value of this WWWAuthenicateHeader. This convenience method returns only the realm of the complete Challenge.

Returns:

the String representing the Realm information, null if value is not set.

Since:

v1.1

setNonce

public void setNonce(java.lang.String nonce)
              throws java.text.ParseException

Sets the Nonce of the WWWAuthenicateHeader to the nonce parameter value.

Parameters:

nonce - - the new nonce String of this WWWAuthenicateHeader.

Throws:

java.text.ParseException - which signals that an error has been reached unexpectedly while parsing the nonce value.

Since:

v1.1

getNonce

public java.lang.String getNonce()

Returns the Nonce value of this WWWAuthenicateHeader.

Returns:

the String representing the nonce information, null if value is not set.

Since:

v1.1

setURI

public void setURI(URI uri)

Sets the URI of the WWWAuthenicateHeader to the uri parameter value.

Parameters:

uri - - the new URI of this WWWAuthenicateHeader.

Since:

v1.1

getURI

public URI getURI()

Returns the URI value of this WWWAuthenicateHeader, for example DigestURI.

Returns:

the URI representing the URI information, null if value is not set.

Since:

v1.1

setAlgorithm

public void setAlgorithm(java.lang.String algorithm)
                  throws java.text.ParseException

Sets the Algorithm of the WWWAuthenicateHeader to the new algorithm parameter value.

Parameters:
