Detailed Description

Creates and manages user sessions.

The cache abstracts a persistent (meaning across requests) cache of instances of the Session interface. Creation of new entries and entry lookup are confined to this interface to enable the implementation to remote and/or optimize calls by implementing custom versions of the Session interface as required.

virtual std::string shibsp::SessionCache::active	(	const Application &	application,
		const xmltooling::HTTPRequest &	request
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Returns the ID of the session bound to the specified client request, if possible.

Parameters:

	application	reference to Application that owns the Session
	request	request from client containing session, or a reference to it

Returns:: ID of session, if any known, or an empty string

virtual Session* shibsp::SessionCache::find	(	const Application &	application,
		const xmltooling::HTTPRequest &	request,
		const char *	client_addr = `NULL`,
		time_t *	timeout = `NULL`
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Locates an existing session bound to a request.

If the client address is supplied, then a check will be performed against the address recorded in the record.

Parameters:

	application	reference to Application that owns the Session
	request	request from client bound to session
	client_addr	network address of client (if known)
	timeout	inactivity timeout to enforce (0 for none, NULL to bypass check/update of last access)

Returns:: pointer to locked Session, or NULL

virtual Session* shibsp::SessionCache::find	(	const Application &	application,
		xmltooling::HTTPRequest &	request,
		const char *	client_addr = `NULL`,
		time_t *	timeout = `NULL`
	)			`[virtual]`

Locates an existing session bound to a request.

If the client address is supplied, then a check will be performed against the address recorded in the record.

If a bound session is found to have expired, be invalid, etc., and if the request can be used to "clear" the session from subsequent client requests, then it may be cleared.

Parameters:

	application	reference to Application that owns the Session
	request	request from client bound to session
	client_addr	network address of client (if known)
	timeout	inactivity timeout to enforce (0 for none, NULL to bypass check/update of last access)

Returns:: pointer to locked Session, or NULL

virtual void shibsp::SessionCache::insert	(	const Application &	application,
		const xmltooling::HTTPRequest &	httpRequest,
		xmltooling::HTTPResponse &	httpResponse,
		time_t	expires,
		const opensaml::saml2md::EntityDescriptor *	issuer = `NULL`,
		const XMLCh *	protocol = `NULL`,
		const opensaml::saml2::NameID *	nameid = `NULL`,
		const XMLCh *	authn_instant = `NULL`,
		const XMLCh *	session_index = `NULL`,
		const XMLCh *	authncontext_class = `NULL`,
		const XMLCh *	authncontext_decl = `NULL`,
		const std::vector< const opensaml::Assertion * > *	tokens = `NULL`,
		const std::vector< Attribute * > *	attributes = `NULL`
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Inserts a new session into the cache and binds the session to the outgoing client response.

The SSO tokens and Attributes remain owned by the caller and are copied by the cache.

Parameters:

	application	reference to Application that owns the Session
	httpRequest	request that initiated session
	httpResponse	current response to client
	expires	expiration time of session
	issuer	issuing metadata of assertion issuer, if known
	protocol	protocol family used to initiate the session
	nameid	principal identifier, normalized to SAML 2, if any
	authn_instant	UTC timestamp of authentication at IdP, if known
	session_index	index of session between principal and IdP, if any
	authncontext_class	method/category of authentication event, if known
	authncontext_decl	specifics of authentication event, if known
	tokens	assertions to cache with session, if any
	attributes	optional array of resolved Attributes to cache with session

virtual bool shibsp::SessionCache::matches	(	const Application &	application,
		const xmltooling::HTTPRequest &	request,
		const opensaml::saml2md::EntityDescriptor *	issuer,
		const opensaml::saml2::NameID &	nameid,
		const std::set< std::string > *	indexes
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Determines whether the Session bound to a client request matches a set of input criteria.

Parameters:

	application	reference to Application that owns the Session
	request	request in which to locate Session
	issuer	required source of session(s)
	nameid	required name identifier
	indexes	session indexes

Returns:: true iff the Session exists and matches the input criteria

virtual void shibsp::SessionCache::remove	(	const Application &	application,
		const xmltooling::HTTPRequest &	request,
		xmltooling::HTTPResponse *	response = `NULL`
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Deletes an existing session bound to a request.

Parameters:

	application	reference to Application that owns the Session
	request	request from client containing session, or a reference to it
	response	optional response to client enabling removal of session or reference
