boolean	authenticateBasic(String principal, byte[] passPhrase) Authenticate the given principal using the provided pass phrase.
boolean	authenticateDigest(String principal, byte[] digest, byte[] nonce) Authenticate the given principal using the provided digest and nonce.

Method Detail

authenticateBasic

public boolean authenticateBasic(String principal,
                                 byte[] passPhrase)

Authenticate the given principal using the provided pass phrase. If authentication succeeds, return true. Otherwise, return false.

authenticateDigest

public boolean authenticateDigest(String principal,
                                  byte[] digest,
                                  byte[] nonce)

Authenticate the given principal using the provided digest and nonce. The digest is an MD5 hash of {MD5 hash of the realm name, principal, and the pass phrase}, and the nonce. If authentication succeeds, return true. Otherwise, return false.

initialize

public void initialize(Properties props,
                       ORB orb)

The realm implementation is specified as a properties file, where the name of the realm is the name of the properties file. The properties file can provide other properties to initialize the realm. When a realm is loaded by jBroker, it calls a null constructor on it and then calls the initialize method. The contents of the properties file is realm implementation specific.
