Package com.vmware.vapi.std.errors

Class Unauthorized

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    StaticStructure, Structure, java.io.Serializable
    public class Unauthorized
extends Error
implements java.io.Serializable, StaticStructure
    The Unauthorized exception indicates that the user is not authorized to perform the method.

    API requests may include a security context containing user credentials. For example, the user credentials could be a SAML token, a user name and password, or the session identifier for a previously established session. Invoking the method may require that the user identified by those credentials has particular privileges on the method or on one or more resource identifiers passed to the method.

    Examples:

    • The method requires that the user have one or more privileges on the method, but the user identified by the credentials in the security context does not have the required privileges.
    • The method requires that the user have one or more privileges on a resource identifier passed to the method, but the user identified by the credentials in the security context does not have the required privileges.

    Counterexamples:

    • The SAML token in the request's security context has expired. A Unauthenticated exception would be used instead.
    • The user name and password in the request's security context are invalid. The Unauthenticated exception would be used instead.
    • The session identifier in the request's security context identifies a session that has expired. The Unauthenticated exception would be used instead.

    For security reasons, the Error.getData() property in this exception is null, and the Error.getMessages() property in this exception does not disclose why the user is not authorized to perform the method. For example the messages would not disclose which privilege the user did not have or which resource identifier the user did not have the required privilege to access. The API documentation should indicate what privileges are required.

      • _getType

        public com.vmware.vapi.bindings.type.ErrorType _getType()
        Description copied from interface: StaticStructure
        WARNING: Internal method, subject to change in future versions. Returns StructType instance representing the static bindings type for this Structure.
        Specified by:
        _getType in interface StaticStructure
        Overrides:
        _getType in class Error
        Returns:
        the static bindings StructType

      • _getDataValue

        public StructValue _getDataValue()
        Description copied from interface: Structure
        Returns this Structure represented in the dynamic DataValue model.

        Attempts to change the returned StructValue representation are not required to change the state of this structure. Actually the behavior is implementation dependent and is unspecified. In general the returned value shouldn't be changed.

        Specified by:
        _getDataValue in interface Structure
        Overrides:
        _getDataValue in class Error
        Returns:
        StructValue representing this structure

      • _validate

        public void _validate()
        Description copied from interface: StaticStructure
        Validates the state of the discriminated unions and HasFieldsOf restrictions (if any) in this Java language binding Structure.

        More precisely, for each union: given value of the discriminant/tag field (@UnionTag in the IDL) of an union in this structure, validates that:

      • all fields of the union required for that value of the discriminant are set
      • fields of the union that are not allowed for that value of the discriminant are not set
      • any other fields of the structure (not participating in the union) do not affect the validation result
Specified by:
_validate in interface StaticStructure
Overrides:
_validate in class Error
