Examples of com.sun.enterprise.security.jauth.ClientAuthContext

• com.sun.enterprise.security.jauth.ClientAuthContext
  This ClientAuthContext class manages AuthModules that may be used to secure requests made as a client. A caller typically uses this class in the following manner:

  1. Retrieve an instance of this class via AuthConfig.getClientAuthContext.
  2. Invoke secureRequest.
     ClientAuthContext implementation invokes configured plug-in modules. Modules attach credentials to initial request object (for example, a username and password), and/or secure the request (for example, sign and encrypt the request).
  3. Issue request.
  4. Receive response and pass it to validateResponse.
     ClientAuthContext implementation invokes configured plug-in modules. Modules verify or decrypt response as necessary.
  5. The disposeSubject method may be invoked if necessary to clean up any authentication state in the Subject.

  An instance may reuse module instances it previously created. As a result a single module instance may be used to issue different requests as different clients. It is the module implementation's responsibility to properly store and restore any necessary state. A module that does not need to do so may remain completely stateless.

  Instances of this class have custom logic to determine what modules to invoke, and in what order. In addition, this custom logic may control whether subsequent modules are invoked based on the success or failure of previously invoked modules.

  The caller is responsible for passing in a state Map that can be used by underlying modules to save state across a sequence of calls from secureRequest to validateResponse to disposeSubject. The same Map instance must be passed to all methods in the call sequence. Furthermore, each call sequence should be passed its own unique shared state Map instance. @version %I%, %G% @see AuthConfig @see SOAPAuthParam
