Class PasswordFileAuthenticator

java.lang.Object
  org.jwall.web.audit.util.SimplePasswordAuthenticator
      org.jwall.web.audit.util.PasswordFileAuthenticator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Authenticator

public class PasswordFileAuthenticator
extends SimplePasswordAuthenticator

This extension of the SimplePasswordAuthenticator class simply reads users and groups from files which are given to the constructor at instantiation time. The user file is expected to have one line of the format

     user=password
 

for each user. The password is supposed to be in plaintext. The group file is supposed to have a line for each group, i.e.

     group1=user1,user2,user3
 

Similar to the standard unix password/group format.
