java.lang.Object java.lang.Throwable java.lang.Exception org.ietf.jgss.GSSException

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public exception GSSException
extends Exception

This exception is thrown whenever a GSS-API error occurs, including any mechanism specific error. It may contain both the major and the minor GSS-API status codes. Major error codes are those defined at the GSS-API level in this class. Minor error codes are mechanism specific error codes that can provide additional information. The underlying mechanism implementation is responsible for setting appropriate minor status codes when throwing this exception. Aside from delivering the numeric error codes to the caller, this class performs the mapping from their numeric values to textual representations.

BAD_BINDINGS

public static final int BAD_BINDINGS

Channel bindings mismatch.

BAD_MECH

public static final int BAD_MECH

Unsupported mechanism requested.

BAD_MIC

public static final int BAD_MIC

Token had invalid integrity check.

BAD_NAME

public static final int BAD_NAME

Invalid name provided.

BAD_NAMETYPE

public static final int BAD_NAMETYPE

Name of unsupported type provided.

BAD_QOP

public static final int BAD_QOP

Unsupported QOP value.

BAD_STATUS

public static final int BAD_STATUS

Invalid status code.

CONTEXT_EXPIRED

public static final int CONTEXT_EXPIRED

Security context expired.

CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED

public static final int CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED

Expired credentials.

DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL

public static final int DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL

Defective credentials.

DEFECTIVE_TOKEN

public static final int DEFECTIVE_TOKEN

Defective token.

DUPLICATE_ELEMENT

public static final int DUPLICATE_ELEMENT

Duplicate credential element requested.

DUPLICATE_TOKEN

public static final int DUPLICATE_TOKEN

The token was a duplicate of an earlier token. This is a fatal error code that may occur during context establishment. It is not used to indicate supplementary status values. The MessageProp object is used for that purpose.

FAILURE

public static final int FAILURE

General failure, unspecified at GSS-API level.

GAP_TOKEN

public static final int GAP_TOKEN

An expected per-message token was not received. This is a fatal error code that may occur during context establishment. It is not used to indicate supplementary status values. The MessageProp object is used for that purpose.

NAME_NOT_MN

public static final int NAME_NOT_MN

Name contains multi-mechanism elements.

NO_CONTEXT

public static final int NO_CONTEXT

Invalid security context.

NO_CRED

public static final int NO_CRED

Invalid credentials.

OLD_TOKEN

public static final int OLD_TOKEN

The token's validity period has expired. This is a fatal error code that may occur during context establishment. It is not used to indicate supplementary status values. The MessageProp object is used for that purpose.

UNAUTHORIZED

public static final int UNAUTHORIZED

Operation unauthorized.

UNAVAILABLE

public static final int UNAVAILABLE

Operation unavailable.

UNSEQ_TOKEN

public static final int UNSEQ_TOKEN

A later token has already been processed. This is a fatal error code that may occur during context establishment. It is not used to indicate supplementary status values. The MessageProp object is used for that purpose.

GSSException

public GSSException(int majorCode)

Creates a GSSException object with a specified major code.

Parameters:

majorCode - the The GSS error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown.

GSSException

public GSSException(int majorCode,
                    int minorCode,
                    String minorString)

Creates a GSSException object with the specified major code, minor code, and minor code textual explanation. This constructor is to be used when the exception is originating from the underlying mechanism level. It allows the setting of both the GSS code and the mechanism code.

Parameters:

majorCode - the GSS error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown.

minorCode - the mechanism level error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown.

minorString - the textual explanation of the mechanism error code.

getMajor

public int getMajor()

Returns the GSS-API level major error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown. Major error codes are defined at the mechanism independent GSS-API level in this class. Mechanism specific error codes that might provide more information aer set as the minor error code.

Returns:

int the GSS-API level major error code causing this exception

getMajorString

public String getMajorString()

Returns a string explaining the GSS-API level major error code in this exception.

Returns:

String explanation string for the major error code

getMessage

public String getMessage()

Returns a textual representation of both the major and the minor status codes.

Overrides:

getMessage in class Throwable

Returns:

a String with the error descriptions

getMinor

public int getMinor()

Returns the mechanism level error code for the problem causing this exception to be thrown. The minor code is set by the underlying mechanism.

Returns:

int the mechanism error code; 0 indicates that it has not been set.

getMinorString

public String getMinorString()

Returns a string explaining the mechanism specific error code. If the minor status code is 0, then no mechanism level error details will be available.

Returns:

String a textual explanation of mechanism error code

setMinor

public void setMinor(int minorCode,
                     String message)

Used by the exception thrower to set the mechanism level minor error code and its string explanation. This is used by mechanism providers to indicate error details.

Parameters:

minorCode - the mechanism specific error code

message - textual explanation of the mechanism error code

toString

public String toString()

Returns a textual representation of both the major and the minor status codes.

Overrides:

toString in class Throwable

Returns:

a String with the error descriptions
