Method Detail

getControlFlag

public java.lang.String getControlFlag()

A REQUIRED value requires this Authentication provider to succeed. Regardless of whether it succeeds, authentication proceeds to other Authentication providers that have been configured as part of the login sequence.

A REQUISITE value requires this Authentication provider to succeed. If it succeeds, authentication proceeds to other Authentication providers. If it fails, control immediately returns to the application (authentication does not proceed).

A SUFFICIENT value does not require this Authentication provider to succeed. If it succeeds, control immediately returns to the application (authentication does not proceed to other Authenticaion providers). If it fails, authentication proceeds to other Authentication providers that have been configured as part of the login sequence.

An OPTIONAL value does not require this Authentication provider to succeed. Regardless of whether it succeeds, authentication proceeds to other Authentication providers that have been configured as part of the login sequence.
