Class ProxyLoginModule

java.lang.Object
  org.jboss.security.auth.spi.ProxyLoginModule

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule

public class ProxyLoginModule

extends java.lang.Object

implements javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule

A proxy LoginModule that loads a delegate LoginModule using the current thread context class loader. The purpose of this module is to work around the current JAAS class loader limitation that requires LoginModules to be on the classpath. Some LoginModules use core JBoss classes that would have to be moved into the jboss-jaas.jar and packaging becomes a mess. Instead, these LoginModules are left in the jbosssx.jar and the ProxyLoginModule is used to bootstrap the non-classpath LoginModule.

initialize

public void initialize(javax.security.auth.Subject subject,
                       javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler callbackHandler,

                       java.util.Map options)

Initialize this LoginModule. This method loads the LoginModule specified by the moduleName option using the current thread context class loader and then delegates the initialize call to it.
