Constructor Details

RememberMeAuthenticationToken

public RememberMeAuthenticationToken(String key,
 Object principal,
 Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> authorities)

Constructor.

Parameters:

key - to identify if this object made by an authorised client

principal - the principal (typically a UserDetails)

authorities - the authorities granted to the principal

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a null was passed

RememberMeAuthenticationToken

protected RememberMeAuthenticationToken(RememberMeAuthenticationToken.Builder<?> builder)

Method Details

getCredentials

public Object getCredentials()

Always returns an empty String

Returns:

an empty String

getKeyHash

public int getKeyHash()

getPrincipal

public Object getPrincipal()

Description copied from interface: Authentication

The identity of the principal being authenticated. In the case of an authentication request with username and password, this would be the username. Callers are expected to populate the principal for an authentication request.

The AuthenticationManager implementation will often return an Authentication containing richer information as the principal for use by the application. Many of the authentication providers will create a UserDetails object as the principal.

Returns:

the Principal being authenticated or the authenticated principal after authentication.

toBuilder

public RememberMeAuthenticationToken.Builder<?> toBuilder()

Description copied from interface: Authentication

Return an Authentication.Builder based on this instance. By default, returns a builder that builds a SimpleAuthentication.

Although a default method, all Authentication implementations should implement this. The reason is to ensure that the Authentication type is preserved when Authentication.Builder.build() is invoked. This is especially important in the event that your authentication implementation contains custom fields.

This isn't strictly necessary since it is recommended that applications code to the Authentication interface and that custom information is often contained in the Authentication.getPrincipal() value.

Returns:

an Authentication.Builder for building a new Authentication based on this instance
