                                         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

public AuthenticationManager getAuthenticationManager()

setAuthenticationManager
