Method Detail

getSessionId

long getSessionId()

Return ID of the session being authenticated.

Returns:

The unique ID of the session to authenticate.

getResponse

byte[] getResponse()

Return the client's hashed response to the Nonce.

Returns the client's response to the Nonce field in the SessionChallenge message. This can be checked by the server to ensure that the client is legitimate.

Returns:

The client-generated response field.

getCNonce

byte[] getCNonce()

Return the random client-supplied "nonce" to be hashed using the server's shared key.

Used for mutual authentication so that the client is sure of the server's identity.

Returns:

The random nonce data to be hashed to authenticate the server.

subSession

boolean subSession()

Flag to indicate that a new subsession is requested.

If true and session authentication is successful, and the maximum active subsession count is not exceeded, then the login session is "cloned" into a "subsession" that can be used to execute concurrent tasks under a single session credential.

Subsessions inherit all session timeout and ACK window paramerters from the parent session. If the parent session is logged out, revoked, expired, timed out, or otherwise terminated, then the same thing happens immediately to all of its active subsessions.

Session authentication will fail if this flag is set for a reconnection to a subsession, since only top level login sessions are allowed to contain subsessions.

Returns:

Flag to indicate request of a new subsession.
