Authentication Callback

Sometimes you might not want to use ActiveSpaces’ default behavior for retrieving user authentication information. For example, if you want your users to use a smart card or USB drive to hold their authentication information and automatically authenticate security domain users without their being aware that the authentication has taken place, you can override the default behavior.

To override the default behavior of TIBCO ActiveSpaces for retrieving user authentication information, the ActiveSpaces API provides a callback mechanism. If a security domain requestor tries to connect to a metaspace using an authentication callback, the callback is used to retrieve the user's authentication information.

See ASUserAuthenticator for information on each supported programming language to see how the security API is used to implement an authentication callback.
