| Attempts to authenticate the remote client using the presented username and password. If authentication
is successful, an array 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.
Parameters:
password - the password the remote client wishes to authenticate with. all of the granted authorities the specified username and password have access to.
throws:
RemoteAuthenticationException - if the authentication failed. |
