Methods Summary
protected abstract void	authenticate() Perform authentication decision. Method returns silently on success and returns a LoginException on failure. To be implmented by sub-classes return void authenticate returns silently on successful authentication. throws com.sun.enterprise.security.LoginException on authentication failure.
protected final void	authenticateUser() Older implementations can implement authenticate. While new implementation calls authenticateUser throws LoginException authenticate();
public final void	commitAuthentication(java.lang.String username, java.lang.String password, com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.Realm theRealm, java.lang.String[] groups) Maintain RI compatibility. This is a convenience method which can be used by subclasses to complete the steps required by RI legacy authentication code. Most of this should go away if a clean JAAS/Subject based infrastructure is provided. But for now this must be done. Note that this method is called after the authentication has succeeded. If authentication failed do not call this method. A lot of the RI behavior is still present here. Some of the most notable points to remember: Global instance field succeeded is set to true by this method. param username Name of authenticated user. param password Password of this user. param theRealm Current Realm object for this authentication. param groups String array of group memberships for user (could be empty). returns void commitUserAuthentication(groups);
