Class ExampleChallenge

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    AuthenticationMechanismInterface
    public class ExampleChallenge
extends BaseAuthenticationPlugin
    Example of an authentication method that implements a challenge. The flow is: The default case challenges the user for "username". Then user replies with username, the authentication method responds with the "first" challenge for the "first password". If the user responds with same password as username, the authentication method replies with the "second" challenge for the "second password" which also has to be equal to the username. If equal in this second state the authentication method returns AUTHENTICATED. All other cases it returns NOT AUTHENTICATED.
