           Summary: Digest authentication does not work if the username or
                    URI contain a comma
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.7
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The digest authenticator does a simple tokenization of the authentication
header. If the username or the URI contain a comma, authentication fails because
the tokenization does not take into consideration tokens that have commas in 
them. 

To duplicate, go to any page that requires digest authentication, and add the
query string ?a=b,c. Authentication will fail. If you've already authenticated,
you may need to close your browser and try again.

Following is modified version of
org.apache.catalina.authenticator.DigestAuthenticator.findPrincipal that fixes
the problem. It tokenizes using a regular expression that ignores commas between
quotes (or rather, it ignores commas that are not followed by an even number of
quotes).

I would have tested and modified 5.5.12, except that I am using a custom build
based on 5.5.7. However, I have looked at DigestAuthenticator.java in 5.5.12 and
noticed that it has the same problem.

    protected static Principal findPrincipal(Request request,
                                             String authorization,
                                             Realm realm) {

        //System.out.println("Authorization token : " + authorization);
        // Validate the authorization credentials format
        if (authorization == null)
            return (null);
        if (!authorization.startsWith("Digest "))
            return (null);
        authorization = authorization.substring(7).trim();

        String[] tokens = authorization.split(",(?=(?:[^\"]*\"[^\"]*\")+$)");
        
        String userName = null;
        String realmName = null;
        String nOnce = null;

        String qop = null;
        String uri = null;
        String response = null;
        String method = request.getMethod();

        for (int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++) {
            String currentToken = tokens[i];
            if (currentToken.length() == 0)
                continue;
            
            int equalSign = currentToken.indexOf('=');
            if (equalSign < 0)
                return null;
            String currentTokenName =
                currentToken.substring(0, equalSign).trim();
            String currentTokenValue =
                currentToken.substring(equalSign + 1).trim();
            if ("username".equals(currentTokenName))
                userName = removeQuotes(currentTokenValue);

                nc = removeQuotes(currentTokenValue);

            if ("response".equals(currentTokenName))
                response = removeQuotes(currentTokenValue);
        }

        if ( (userName == null) || (realmName == null) || (nOnce == null)
             || (uri == null) || (response == null) )
            return null;

        // Second MD5 digest used to calculate the digest :
        // MD5(Method + ":" + uri)
        String a2 = method + ":" + uri;
        //System.out.println("A2:" + a2);

        byte[] buffer = null;
        synchronized (md5Helper) {
            buffer = md5Helper.digest(a2.getBytes());
        }
        String md5a2 = md5Encoder.encode(buffer);

        return (realm.authenticate(userName, response, nOnce, nc, cnonce, qop,
                                   realmName, md5a2));
