Method Detail

loadProperties

public void loadProperties(ResourceLocator settings)

Description copied from class: Authentication

Loads the specified properties to set the communication information with the authentication service.

Specified by:

loadProperties in class Authentication

Parameters:

settings - the communication settings.

openConnection

protected AuthenticationConnection<com.novell.ldap.LDAPConnection> openConnection()
                                                                           throws AuthenticationException

Description copied from class: Authentication

Opens a connection with a server of the remote authentication service. The policy of the connection management is left to the concrete Authentication implementation.

Specified by:

openConnection in class Authentication

Returns:

a connection with a remote authentication server.

Throws:

AuthenticationException - if no connection can be established with a server of the remote authentication service.

closeConnection

protected void closeConnection(AuthenticationConnection connection)
                        throws AuthenticationException

Description copied from class: Authentication

Closes the connection that was previously opened with the server of the remote authentication service. The policy of the connection management is left to the concrete Authentication implementation.

Specified by:

closeConnection in class Authentication

Parameters:

connection - the connection with a remote authentication server.

Throws:

AuthenticationException - if no connection was previously opened or if the connection cannot be closed for any reason.

doAuthentication

protected void doAuthentication(AuthenticationConnection connection,
                                AuthenticationCredential credential)
