Package net.sf.basedb.core.authentication Description

This package defines a framework for supporting user authentication from external databases and directory services.

At the heart of the framework is the Authenticator interface. It defines methods that an application can use to authenticate a user against a remote database or directory service.

As an example, a simple POP3Authenticator has been developed. It allows a client application to check with a POP3 server for authentication, ie. all users with a mail account on the POP3 server will be granted access.

Adding support for other databases and directory services is as easy a writing a class that implements the Authenticator interface.
