Interface KerberosUserService

All Superinterfaces:

ConfigurableComponent, ControllerService

All Known Subinterfaces:

SelfContainedKerberosUserService

public interface KerberosUserService
extends ControllerService

Creates a KerberosUser which can be used for performing Kerberos authentication. Implementations should not cache a KerberosUser and return it to multiple callers, as any given caller could call logout and thus impact other callers with the same instance. It is the responsibility of the consumer to manage the lifecycle of the user by calling login and logout appropriately. Generally the KerberosAction class should be used to execute an action as the given user with proper handling of login/re-login.
