Keith Wall commented on QPID-3283: ---------------------------------- Add 0.13 specific config page to describe these changes: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/qpid/Configure+the+Broker+via+config.xml > Make AuthenticationManager pluggable > ------------------------------------ > > Key: QPID-3283 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3283 > Project: Qpid > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Java Broker > Reporter: Keith Wall > Assignee: Robbie Gemmell > Fix For: 0.13 > > Attachments: > 0001-QPID-3283-Make-Authentication-Manager-pluggable.patch > > > This improvement forms part of the proposal I made to the Qpid Developer List > on 2011-05-16 in the posting entitled "Java Broker: Pluggable Authentication > Managers". > The existing AuthenticationManager and configuration classes will be > refactored to allow a user to choose an implementation of > AuthenticationManager through new elements in the config.xml. > Existing use-cases (that is authentication against the etc/passwd file) will > be maintained by plugging-in the PrincipalDatabaseAuthenticationManager > implementation. Future implementations of AuthenticationManager could then > allow authentication to be delegated to an external system such as an LDAP > Directory. > This change *will* alter the format of the config.xml file. Existing users > of <=0-12 will need to edit their config.xml when upgrading. Documentation > will be updated to guide upgraders and helpful error messages will gently > reject older configure files. > See also: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/qpid/Java+Pluggable+Authentication+Managers -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
