Method Details

setRealms

void setRealms(Collection<org.apache.shiro.realm.Realm> realms)

Sets all realms used by this Authenticator, providing PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) configuration. The operation is copied from org.apache.shiro.authc.pam.ModularRealmAuthenticator. Shiro's design is less than ideal for proxied interface-based systems because it internally relies on downcasting to specific types. Not all Authenticators need realms but ModularRealmAuthenticator has its own reference to the realms collection (separate from securityManager) so make the setter available here.

Parameters:

realms - the realms to consult during authentication attempts.
