Public Methods
public abstract Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> attemptAuthentication (String username, String password)
Attempts to authenticate the remote client using the presented username and password. If authentication
is successful, a collection of GrantedAuthority objects will be returned.
In order to maximise remoting protocol compatibility, a design decision was taken to operate with minimal arguments and return only the minimal amount of information required for remote clients to enable/disable relevant user interface commands etc. There is nothing preventing users from implementing their own equivalent package that works with more complex object types.
Parameters
| username | the username the remote client wishes to authenticate with. |
|---|---|
| password | the password the remote client wishes to authenticate with. |
Returns
- all of the granted authorities the specified username and password have access to.
Throws
| RemoteAuthenticationException | if the authentication failed. |
