[jira] [Commented] (QPIDJMS-150) Scram SHA SASL support for
authentication
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPIDJMS-150?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15155746#comment-15155746 ]
Robbie Gemmell commented on QPIDJMS-150:
----------------------------------------
I skimmed the patch *very* quickly (will take a closer look when I'm at less risk of sneezing everywhere :(), the only things that stuck out doing that were: possibly use comment instead of javadoc for the licence header, and it could do with some tests (I'm guessing maybe some source material suffers similar issue?;) ), given they will be by far the most complicated of the supported mechs but also among the highest priority. SaslIntegrationTest has some brokerless SASL tests using the full client, but other than verifying when the mechs get selected pure unit test of the mechs might be a lot easier in this case.

> The SCRAM SHA-1 and 256 SASL mechanisms https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5802 offer better security than older SASL implementations. In particular the authentication information stored in the authentication database is not sufficient to impersonate the client if the database were to be stolen.
> (The Java Broker already supports these mechanisms. The intention is to switch to recommend SCRAM instead of CRAM-MD5 shortly. One barrier to making this switch is the absence of support in the client).
