Interface ProxyLogin

All Known Implementing Classes:
ConsoleAuth

This interface is used by client processes to implement alternative login mechanisms aside from the standard username and password. Implementations may synchronize Agents with an external user library, such as Active Directory. Implementations are expected to set up the Gateway process and its authenticated components itself.
