Class Authentication

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--com.clra.member.Authentication

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler, Serializable

public class Authentication

extends Object

implements javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler, Serializable

Authenticates a user during login, and releases the authentication during logout.

Note: This class is NOT secure, because it stores passwords in plain text. This isn't an issue for the CLRA, unless the club starts doing e-commerce. The plain-text issue is important when web objects use Authentication instances, because they typically stick them into HttpSessions, where they can be deserialized to any old location.
