Interface Realm

All Superinterfaces:

Authentication.AuthenticationNotifier, Authenticator<AuthenticationToken>, Authenticator.MessageAuthenticator, Authorizer<Permission>

public interface Realm
extends Authenticator<AuthenticationToken>, Authorizer<Permission>, Authenticator.MessageAuthenticator, Authentication.AuthenticationNotifier

A Realm represents a security abstraction providing operations for principals authentication (for example login a user relying on user accounts informations) and authorization (permission check against principal grants stored in this realm).

A Realm may be identified by name, which should be unique within the same application.

Authentication is performed using Authenticator interface, but it is delegated to concrete Authenticator instances which must be registered in realm using addAuthenticator(Authenticator).

Authorization is performed through Authorizer interface, and delegated to concrete Authorizer instances which must be registered in realm using addAuthorizer(Authorizer).

Supports AuthenticationToken.AuthenticationTokenResolver registration to perform authentication requests translation into AuthenticationTokens.

Extends Authenticator.MessageAuthenticator to support authentication using generic authentication request Message.

Extends Authentication.AuthenticationNotifier to allow Authentication.AuthenticationListener registration.

Since:

5.0.0
