Example

import com.akamai.edgeauth.EdgeAuth;
import com.akamai.edgeauth.EdgeAuthBuilder;
import com.akamai.edgeauth.EdgeAuthException;


public class EdgeAuthExample {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String hostname = "YourAkamaizedHostname";
    String ET_ENCRYPTION_KEY = "YourEncryptionKey";
    long duration = 500L; // 500 seconds

    // Below examples here ..
  }
}

• ET_ENCRYPTION_KEY must be hexadecimal digit string with even-length.
• Don't expose ET_ENCRYPTION_KEY on the public repository.

URL parameter option

try {
  EdgeAuth ea = new EdgeAuthBuilder()
      .key(ET_ENCRYPTION_KEY)
      .windowSeconds(duration)
      .escapeEarly(true)
      .build();

  /******** 
  1) Cookie 
  *********/
  String path = "/akamai/edgeauth";
  String token = ea.generateURLToken(path);
  String url = String.format("http(s)://%s%s", hostname, path);
  String cookie = String.format("%s=%s", ea.getTokenName(), token);
  // => Link or Request "url" /w "cookie"

  /************** 
  2) Query String 
  ***************/
  String path = "/akamai/edgeauth";
  String token = ea.generateURLToken(path);
  String url = String.format("http(s)://%s%s?%s=%s", hostname, path,
    ea.getTokenName(), token);
  // If url has a query string which isn't for the token, be aware of the string formatter and symbol(? and &).
  // => Link or Request "url" /w Query string
} catch (EdgeAuthException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

• 'Escape token input' option in the Property Manager corresponds to 'escapeEarly' in the code.
  Escape token input (on) == escapeEarly (true)
  Escape token input (off) == escapeEarly (false)
• In [Example 2] for Query String, it's only okay for 'Ignore query string' option (on).
• If you want to 'Ignore query string' option (off) using query string as your token, Please contact your Akamai representative.

ACL(Access Control List) parameter option

try {
  EdgeAuth ea = new EdgeAuthBuilder()
      .key(encrpytionKey)
      .windowSeconds(duration)
      .build();

  /******************
  3) Header using '*' 
  *******************/
  String acl = "/akamai/edgeauth/list/*"; //*/
  String token = ea.generateACLToken(acl);
  String url = String.format("http(s)://%s%s", hostname, "/akamai/edgeauth/list/something");
  String header = String.format("%s: %s", ea.getTokenName(), token);
  // => Link or Request "url" /w "header"

  /************************* 
  4) Cookie Delimited by '!'
  **************************/
  String acl2[] = { "/akamai/edgeauth", "/akamai/edgeauth/list/*" };
  String token = ea.generateACLToken(acl2);
  String url = String.format("http(s)://%s%s", hostname, "/akamai/edgeauth/list/something2");
  String cookie = String.format("%s=%s", ea.getTokenName(), token);
  // => Link or Request "url" /w "cookie"
} catch (EdgeAuthException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

• ACL can use the wildcard(*, ?) in the path.
• Don't use '!' in your path because it's ACL Delimiter.
• Use 'escapeEarly=false' as default setting but it doesn't matter turning on/off 'Escape token input' option in the Property Manager

Usage

EdgeAuth, EdgeAuthBuilder Class

Parameter	Description
tokenType	Select a preset. (Not Supported Yet)
tokenName	Parameter name for the new token. [ Default: __token__ ]
key	Secret required to generate the token. It must be hexadecimal digit string with even-length.
algorithm	Algorithm to use to generate the token. ("sha1", "sha256", or "md5") [ Default: "sha256" ]
salt	Additional data validated by the token but NOT included in the token body. (It will be deprecated)
ip	IP Address to restrict this token to. (Troublesome in many cases (roaming, NAT, etc) so not often used)
payload	Additional text added to the calculated digest.
sessionId	The session identifier for single use tokens or other advanced cases.
startTime	What is the start time? (Use EdgeAuth.NOW for the current time)
endTime	When does this token expire? endTime overrides windowSeconds
windowSeconds	How long is this token valid for?
fieldDelimiter	Character used to delimit token body fields. [ Default: ~ ]
aclDelimiter	Character used to delimit acl. [ Default: ! ]
escapeEarly	Causes strings to be url encoded before being used.
verbose	Print all parameters.

EdgeAuth Static Variable

public static final Long NOW = 0L; // When using startTime, 0L means "from NOW".

EdgeAuth's Method

Method	Description
generateURLToken(String url)	Single URL path.
generateACLToken(String acl)	Single URL path - can use the wildcard (*, ?)
generateACLToken(String[] acl)	Multi URL paths - can use the wildcard

Returns the authorization token string.
