Class AltClientLoginModule

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.jboss.security.AltClientLoginModule
All Implemented Interfaces:
LoginModule

public class AltClientLoginModule
extends Object
implements LoginModule

A simple implementation of LoginModule for use by JBoss clients for the establishment of the caller identity and credentials. This simply sets the SecurityAssociation principal to the value of the NameCallback filled in by the CallbackHandler, and the SecurityAssociation credential to the value of the PasswordCallback filled in by the CallbackHandler. This is a variation of the original ClientLoginModule that does not set the SecurityAssociation information until commit and that uses the Subject principal over a SimplePrincipal if available. It has the following options:

commit

public boolean commit()
               throws LoginException
Method to commit the authentication process (phase 2). This is where the SecurityAssociation information is set. The principal is obtained from: The shared state javax.security.auth.login.name property when useFirstPass is true. If the value is a Principal it is used as is, else a SimplePrincipal using the value.toString() as its name is used. If useFirstPass the username obtained from the callback handler is used to build the SimplePrincipal. Both may be overriden if the resulting authenticated Subject principals set it not empty.
