Interface AuthProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

AuthMultiProvider, CrowdAuthProvider, DefaultAuthProvider, HybridAuthProvider, JDBCAuthProvider, LdapAuthProvider, MappedAuthProvider, NativeAuthProvider, POP3AuthProvider

public interface AuthProvider

Provider interface for authentication. Users that wish to integrate with their own authentication system must implement this class and then register the implementation with Openfire in the openfire.xml file. An entry in that file would look like the following:

   <provider>
     <auth>
       <className>com.foo.auth.CustomAuthProvider</className>
     </auth>
   </provider>
