OSGI console secured telenet port [message #529557]

Hello,

I am launching Eclipse with console telnet option. Is any light way to customize OSGI console to be accessible only from letsay
localhost? Something like passing an option, instead of asking user to secure it with firewall. I would prefer that default
application configuration would be enough secure, instead of warning user that he need manually firewall particular port.

Thanks!

In Equinox 3.5 or older there is no way to secure the console telnet. In 3.6 We opened the console up to allow for ConsoleSession. Take a look at the javadoc in 3.6 for the interface org.eclipse.osgi.framework.console.ConsoleSession

A ConsoleSession implementation allows you to have complete control over the input and output streams for the console connection. You can implement what ever security you want or need in your ConsoleSession implementation.

I have looked to ConsoleSession source. Seems that somehow I will need to register my own ConsoleSession implementation (if I
get idea correctly), and deliver my InputStream and OutputStream - it is just great. However, I cannot find a way, how I will
be able to get connected user IP? - this is a minimum information needed to implement secured console access.
There is class FrameworkConsoleSession from internals, which in constructor accepts Socket, however I don't find a way how I
could obtain such socket information in my ConsoleSession implementation...

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279562

There is an attachment there with a telnet example. In your implementation of the ConsoleSession service you will have control over how the streams are created. You will have complete control over the socket. You will not use the built-in telnet support in the framework.
