org.jivesoftware.openfire.sasl.VerifyPasswordCallback

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Callback

public class VerifyPasswordCallback
extends Object
implements Callback, Serializable

This callback isused by SaslServer to determine if a password supplied by a client is verified. Under most circumstances the PasswordCallback should be used instead, but its use requires the underlying sercurity services have access to the stored password to perform a comparison. The security service provider instantiate and pass a VerifyPasswordCallback to the handle method of a CallbackHandler to verify password information.
