Protected Constructors

protected AuthProvider (String name, double version, String info)

Constructs a new instance of AuthProvider with its name, version and description.

Parameters

name	the name of the provider.
version	the version of the provider.
info	a description of the provider.

Public Methods

public abstract void login (Subject subject, CallbackHandler handler)

Performs a login into this AuthProvider. The specified CallbackHandler is used to obtain information from the caller.

If a SecurityManager is installed, code calling this method needs the SecurityPermission authProvider.NAME (where NAME is the provider name) to be granted, otherwise a SecurityException will be thrown.

Parameters

subject	the subject that is used to login.
handler	the handler to obtain authentication information from the caller.

Throws

LoginException	if the login fails.
SecurityException	if a `SecurityManager` is installed and the caller does not have permission to invoke this method.

public abstract void logout ()

Performs a logout from this AuthProvider.

If a SecurityManager is installed, code calling this method needs the SecurityPermission authProvider.NAME (where NAME is the provider name) to be granted, otherwise a SecurityException will be thrown.

Throws

LoginException	if the logout fails.
SecurityException	if a `SecurityManager` is installed and the caller does not have permission to invoke this method.

public abstract void setCallbackHandler (CallbackHandler handler)

Sets the CallbackHandler to this AuthProvider. If no handler is passed to the login(Subject, CallbackHandler) method, this AuthProvider is using the specified CallbackHandler.

If no handler is set, this AuthProvider uses the CallbackHandler specified by the auth.login.defaultCallbackHandler security property.

If a SecurityManager is installed, code calling this method needs the SecurityPermission authProvider.NAME (where NAME is the provider name) to be granted, otherwise a SecurityException will be thrown.

Parameters

handler	the handler to obtain authentication information from the caller.

Throws

SecurityException	if a `SecurityManager` is installed and the caller does not have permission to invoke this method.
