Class RemoteAuthenticationProvider

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.security.authentication.rcp.RemoteAuthenticationProvider
All Implemented Interfaces:
org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, AuthenticationProvider
@Deprecated public class RemoteAuthenticationProvider extends Object implements AuthenticationProvider, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean
Deprecated.
as of 5.6.0 with no replacement
Client-side object which queries a RemoteAuthenticationManager to validate an authentication request.

A new Authentication object is created by this class comprising the request Authentication object's principal, credentials and the GrantedAuthority[]s returned by the RemoteAuthenticationManager.

The RemoteAuthenticationManager should not require any special username or password setting on the remoting client proxy factory to execute the call. Instead the entire authentication request must be encapsulated solely within the Authentication request object. In practical terms this means the RemoteAuthenticationManager will not be protected by BASIC or any other HTTP-level authentication.

If authentication fails, a RemoteAuthenticationException will be thrown. This exception should be caught and displayed to the user, enabling them to retry with alternative credentials etc.

    • authenticate

      public Authentication authenticate(Authentication authentication) throws AuthenticationException
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: AuthenticationProvider
      Performs authentication with the same contract as AuthenticationManager.authenticate(Authentication) .
      Specified by:
      authenticate in interface AuthenticationProvider
      Parameters:
      authentication - the authentication request object.
      Returns:
      a fully authenticated object including credentials. May return null if the AuthenticationProvider is unable to support authentication of the passed Authentication object. In such a case, the next AuthenticationProvider that supports the presented Authentication class will be tried.
      Throws:
      AuthenticationException - if authentication fails.

    • getRemoteAuthenticationManager

      public RemoteAuthenticationManager getRemoteAuthenticationManager()
      Deprecated.

    • setRemoteAuthenticationManager

      public void setRemoteAuthenticationManager(RemoteAuthenticationManager remoteAuthenticationManager)
      Deprecated.

    • supports

      public boolean supports(Class<?> authentication)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: AuthenticationProvider
      Returns true if this AuthenticationProvider supports the indicated Authentication object.

      Returning true does not guarantee an AuthenticationProvider will be able to authenticate the presented instance of the Authentication class. It simply indicates it can support closer evaluation of it. An AuthenticationProvider can still return null from the AuthenticationProvider.authenticate(Authentication) method to indicate another AuthenticationProvider should be tried.

      Selection of an AuthenticationProvider capable of performing authentication is conducted at runtime the ProviderManager.

      Specified by:
      supports in interface AuthenticationProvider
      Returns:
      true if the implementation can more closely evaluate the Authentication class presented
