Class DecryptAction

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--com.sun.identity.security.DecryptAction
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.security.PrivilegedAction

public class DecryptAction
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.security.PrivilegedAction

The class is used to perform privileged operation with AccessController.doPrivileged() when using com.iplanet.am.util.AMPasswordUtil to decrypt passwords. Ths class implements the interface PrivilegedAction with a non-default constructor. This class should be used in order to perform the privileged operation of com.iplanet.am.util.AMPasswordUtil.decrypt().

  This line of code:
     String encStr = com.iplanet.am.util.AMPasswordUtil.decrypt(str);
 should be replaced with:
     String encStr = (String) AccessController.doPrivileged(
          new DecryptAction(str));
  If this is not done and Java security permissions check is enabled, then
 the operation will fail and return a null everytime.
 
 Note: Java security permissions check for IS can be enabled by setting the
 property com.sun.identity.security.checkcaller to true in
 AMConfig properties file.
