Authentication Web Service API
The Authentication Web Service provides programmatic interfaces to allow clients to interact with it. The following sections provide short descriptions of these packages. For more detailed information, see the Java API Reference in /AccessManager-base/SUNWam/docs or on docs.sun.com. The authentication-related packages include:
com.sun.identity.liberty.ws.authnsvc Package
This package provides web service clients with a method to request authentication credentials from the Authentication Web Service and receive responses back from it using the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL).
com.sun.identity.liberty.ws.authnsvc.mechanism Package
This package provides an interface that must be implemented for each different SASL mechanism to enable authentication using them. Each SASL mechanism will correspond to one implementation that will process incoming SASL requests and generate outgoing SASL responses.
com.sun.identity.liberty.ws.authnsvc.protocol Package
This package provides classes that correspond to the request and response elements defined in the Liberty XSD schema that accompanies the Liberty ID-WSF Authentication Service Specification. This schema is reproduced in Appendix B, Service Schema Files.
