Nested Class Summary
`static interface` | `JaasProvider.SubjectResolver` An extension point for the JaasProvider class that allows for custom logic for finding the current JAAS Subject, if not already available via the `Subject.getSubject(AccessController.getContext())` method.

Constructor Summary
`JaasProvider(String policyName)` Create a JAAS provider for authentication and authorization, using the supplied name for the login configuration.

Method Summary
`ExecutionContext` | `authenticate(Credentials credentials, String repositoryName, String workspaceName, ExecutionContext repositoryContext, Map<String,Object> sessionAttributes)` Authenticate the user that is using the supplied credentials.

Constructor Detail

### JaasProvider

    public JaasProvider(String policyName)
                 throws LoginException

  Create a JAAS provider for authentication and authorization, using the supplied name for the login configuration.

  Parameters:
    `policyName` -
  Throws:
    `LoginException` - if the caller-specified `name` does not appear in the `Configuration` and there is no `Configuration` entry for "other", or if the auth.login.defaultCallbackHandler security property was set, but the implementation class could not be loaded.

Method Detail

### authenticate

    public ExecutionContext authenticate(Credentials credentials,
                                         String repositoryName,
                                         String workspaceName,
                                         ExecutionContext repositoryContext,
                                         Map<String,Object> sessionAttributes)

  Authenticate the user that is using the supplied credentials. If the supplied credentials are authenticated, this method should construct an `ExecutionContext` that reflects the authenticated environment, including the context's valid `security context` that will be used for authorization throughout.

  Note that each provider is handed a map into which it can place name-value pairs that will be used in the `Session attributes` of the Session that results from this authentication attempt. ModeShape will ignore any attributes if this provider does not authenticate the credentials.

  Specified by:
    `authenticate` in interface `AuthenticationProvider`
  Parameters:
    `credentials` - the user's JCR credentials, which may be an `AnonymousCredentials` if authenticating as an anonymous user
    `repositoryName` - the name of the JCR repository; never null
    `workspaceName` - the name of the JCR workspace; never null
    `repositoryContext` - the execution context of the repository, which may be wrapped by this method
    `sessionAttributes` - the map of name-value pairs that will be placed into the `Session attributes`; never null
  Returns:
    the execution context for the authenticated user, or null if this provider could not authenticate the user
