Perform Additional Programming Tasks to Process Authentication Requests

To process authentication requests, once you have set up authentication using the ActiveSpaces CLI, you can code a callback routine for client authentication on requestors and develop code to process authentication requests.

Implementing the API's authentication callback is optional. If authentication is required on a metaspace, a default authenticator is always provided, which prompts the user for the username/account-password or keyfile/keyfile-password. If more sophisticated credential feeding implementations are required, the callbacks can be implemented to customize this behavior.

The ActiveSpaces API provides a sample Java program, ASUserAutenticator.java, that demonstrates the use of a callback routine to process user authentication information.

For a general description of user authentication and the ASUserAuthenticator sample program, see TIBCO ActiveSpaces Developer’s Guide.
