Method Detail

authenticate

public static void authenticate(Environment env,
                                Subject subject)
                         throws LoginException,
                                IOException,
                                RemoteException

Execute a WebLogic Server client login using the supplied environment parameters; will populate the Subject with the appropriate Principals.

The authenticate() method is intended for use by fat clients to perform server-side authentication. Calling authenticate() via an RMI call from a client invokes server-side authentication, which then returns that Subject over RMI.

If you are writing a custom LoginModule that you want to interact with WebLogic Server authentication, this is the method to call from within that LoginModule.

Throws:: LoginException; IOException; RemoteException

logout

public static void logout(Subject subject)
                   throws LoginException,
                          IOException,
                          RemoteException

Remove Principals and credentials from the passed in Subject, effectively logging the user out.

Throws:: LoginException; IOException; RemoteException
