Class DefaultValuesAuthenticationSourceDecorator

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.ldap.authentication.DefaultValuesAuthenticationSourceDecorator

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitializingBean, AuthenticationSource

public class DefaultValuesAuthenticationSourceDecorator
extends Object
implements AuthenticationSource, InitializingBean

Decorator on AuthenticationSource to have default authentication information be returned should the target return empty principal and credentials. Useful in combination with AcegiAuthenticationSource if users are to be allowed to read some information even though they are not logged in.

Note: The defaultUser should be an non-privileged user. This is important as this is the one that will be used when no user is logged in (i.e. empty principal is returned from the target AuthenticationSource).
