WAFFLE - Windows Authentication Framework

waffle

WAFFLE - Windows Authentication Functional Framework (Light Edition) is a native C# and Java library that does everything Windows authentication (Negotiate, NTLM and Kerberos).

Essentials

Short Story

Most people will be interested in one of the following.

  • Simple native interfaces in C# and Java to do all things Windows authentication.
  • A generic Servlet Negotiate (NTLM and Kerberos) Security Filter - Tutorial.
  • A Tomcat Negotiate (NTLM and Kerberos) Authenticator Valve - Tutorial.
  • A Tomcat Single Sign-On + Form Authentication Mixed Valve - Tutorial.
  • A Spring-Security Negotiate (NTLM and Kerberos) Filter - Totorial.
  • A Spring-Security Windows Authentication Manager
  • A JAAS Login Module - Tutorial.
  • If you're using Tomcat, Jetty or Websphere with an IIS front-end to do authentication only, Waffle will allow you to get rid of IIS.

Unlike many other implementations WAFFLE on Windows does not usually require any server-side Kerberos keytab setup, it's a drop-in solution. You can see it in action in this slightly blurry video produced for TeamShatter.com.

Waffle was created and is sponsored by Application Security Inc. For a long story, read the Project History. Also, feel free to use this PowerPoint presentation from NYJavaSIG.

Features

  • Account lookup locally and in Active Directory via Win32 API with zero configuration.
  • Enumerating Active Directory domains and domain information.
  • Returns computer domain / workgroup join information.
  • Supports logon for local and domain users returning consistent fully qualified names, identity (SIDs), local and domain groups, including nested.
  • Supports all functions required for implementing server-side single-signon with Negotiate and NTLM and various implementations for Java web servers.
  • Supports Windows Identity impersonation.
  • Includes a Windows Installer Merge Module for distribution of C# binaries.

Branches

Waffle includes a servlet filter that works with any servlet container, including Tomcat, Jetty and Websphere. It also contains a native package for Tomcat 6 and Spring Security 3. There're branches for Tomcat 5, Tomcat 7 as well as Spring Security 2 support.
