ASUserAuthenticator

When using user authentication, the default ActiveSpaces behavior of prompting users to enter their authentication information may not be adequate. Therefore, TIBCO ActiveSpaces provides a callback mechanism that allows you to customize how user authentication information is retrieved for your users.

The ASUserAuthenticator example demonstrates how to use the user authentication callback mechanism to implement your own functionality for retrieving user authentication information. However, you must first have configured the example security policy file to enable user authentication as described in Enabling User Authentication. After ASUserAuthenticator successfully connects to a metaspace, it loops, waiting for user input to tell it to shut down.
