Method Detail

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws Exception

Exception

attemptAuthentication

public Collection<GrantedAuthority> attemptAuthentication(String username,
                                                          String password)
                                                   throws RemoteAuthenticationException
Description copied from interface: RemoteAuthenticationManager
Attempts to authenticate the remote client using the presented username and password. If authentication is successful, an array of GrantedAuthority[] objects will be returned.

In order to maximise remoting protocol compatibility, a design decision was taken to operate with minimal arguments and return only the minimal amount of information required for remote clients to enable/disable relevant user interface commands etc. There is nothing preventing users from implementing their own equivalent package that works with more complex object types.

Specified by:
attemptAuthentication in interface RemoteAuthenticationManager
Parameters:
username - the username the remote client wishes to authenticate with.
password - the password the remote client wishes to authenticate with.
Returns:
all of the granted authorities the specified username and password have access to.
Throws:
RemoteAuthenticationException - if the authentication failed.

getAuthenticationManager

setAuthenticationManager
