    • Constructor Detail

      • DSpaceAuthentication

        public DSpaceAuthentication​(EPerson ePerson,
                            List<org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority> authorities)
        Create a DSpaceAuthentication instance for an already authenticated EPerson, including their GrantedAuthority objects.

        NOTE: This type of DSpaceAuthentication object is returned to Spring after a successful authentication.

        Parameters:
        ePerson - authenticated EPerson
        authorities - EPerson's authorities

      • DSpaceAuthentication

        public DSpaceAuthentication​(String username,
                            String password)
        Create a temporary DSpaceAuthentication instance which may be used to store information about the user who will be attempting authentication.

        NOTE: This type of DSpaceAuthentication object is used to attempt a new authentication in DSpace. It is therefore temporary in nature, as it will be discarded after successful authentication.

        Parameters:
        username - username to attempt authentication for
        password - password to use for authentication

      • DSpaceAuthentication

        public DSpaceAuthentication()
        Create a temporary, empty DSpaceAuthentication instance which may be used to trigger an implicit authentication. An example is Shibboleth, as this doesn't require an explicit username/password, as the user will have been authenticated externally, and DSpace just needs to perform an implicit authentication by looking for the auth data passed to it by Shibboleth.
