Method Detail

authenticate

public static void authenticate(ServerEnvironment env,
                                Subject subject)
                         throws LoginException,
                                IOException,
                                RemoteException

Execute a WebLogic Server client login using the supplied environment parameters; will populate the Subject with the appropriate Principals.

The authenticate() method is intended for use by fat clients to perform server-side authentication. Calling authenticate() via an RMI call from a client invokes server-side authentication, which then returns that Subject over RMI.

If you are writing a custom LoginModule that you want to interact with WebLogic Server authentication, this is the method to call from within that LoginModule.

Throws:

LoginException

IOException

RemoteException

                          RemoteException
