Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractAuthenticationHandler	Base class for all authentication handlers that support configurable naming.
AbstractCredential	Base class for CAS credentials that are safe for long-term storage.

AuthenticationCredentialsLocalBinder	ThreadLocal based holder for current set of credentials and/or authentication object for any current CAS authentication transaction.
BasicCredentialMetaData	Basic credential metadata implementation that stores the original credential ID and the original credential type.
BasicIdentifiableCredential	This is BasicIdentifiableCredential, a simple credential implementation that is only recognized by its id.
DefaultAuthentication	Immutable authentication event whose attributes may not change after creation.
DefaultAuthenticationBuilder	Constructs immutable Authentication objects using the builder pattern.
DefaultAuthenticationContextValidator	The DefaultAuthenticationContextValidator is responsible for evaluating an authentication object to see whether it satisfied a requested authentication context.
DefaultAuthenticationEventExecutionPlan	This is DefaultAuthenticationEventExecutionPlan.
DefaultAuthenticationResult	The DefaultAuthenticationResult represents a concrete implementation of AuthenticationResult.
DefaultAuthenticationResultBuilder	This is DefaultAuthenticationResultBuilder.
DefaultAuthenticationServiceSelectionPlan	This is DefaultAuthenticationServiceSelectionPlan.
DefaultAuthenticationServiceSelectionStrategy	This is DefaultAuthenticationServiceSelectionStrategy which returns back to the caller the provided service, as it was without any additional processing.
DefaultAuthenticationSystemSupport	This is DefaultAuthenticationSystemSupport.
DefaultAuthenticationTransactionManager	This is DefaultAuthenticationTransactionManager.
DefaultCasSslContext	This is DefaultCasSslContext.
DefaultHandlerResult	Contains information about a successful authentication produced by an AuthenticationHandler.
DefaultPrincipalElectionStrategy	This is DefaultPrincipalElectionStrategy that selects the primary principal to be the first principal in the chain of authentication history.
HttpBasedServiceCredential	A credential representing an HTTP endpoint given by a URL.
PolicyBasedAuthenticationManager	This is PolicyBasedAuthenticationManager, which provides common operations around an authentication manager implementation.
PseudoPlatformTransactionManager	This is PseudoPlatformTransactionManager.
RegisteredServiceAuthenticationHandlerResolver	This is RegisteredServiceAuthenticationHandlerResolver that acts on the criteria presented by a registered service to detect which handler(s) should be resolved for authentication.
RememberMeUsernamePasswordCredential	Handles both remember me services and username and password.
UsernamePasswordCredential	Credential for authenticating with a username and password.

Package org.apereo.cas.authentication Description

Authentication validates the Credentials provided during a /login request. In this context, "Credentials" are an opaque object declared with the Credentials marker interface. The AuthenticationManager typically passes the Credentials to a sequence of plug-in elements to see if any of them can recognize and process the concrete implementing type.

Successful authentication generates a Principal object wrapped in an Authentication object. All these objects must be serializable, and the Authentication becomes part of the TGT in the ticket cache.

Unsucessful authentication must throw an AuthenticationException. The AuthenticationManager may not return null to signal a failure.
