AuthorizationMapping (Core XMPP Server 4.8.1 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultAuthorizationMapping, LdapAuthorizationMapping
```
public interface AuthorizationMapping
```
This is the interface the used to provide default authorization identity when none was selected by the client. This class simply removes the realm (if any) from the authentication identity (or 'principal') if and only if the realm matches the server's realm, the server's xmpp domain name, or any of the pre-approved realm names. Users that wish to integrate with their own authorization system must implement this interface. Register the class with Openfire in the openfire.xml file. An entry in that file would look like the following:
```
   <provider>
     <authorizationMapping>
       <classlist>com.foo.auth.CustomProvider</classlist>
     </authorizationMapping>
   </provider>
 
```
