Reimplemented from CORBA_Object.

Reimplemented from CORBA_LocalObject.

Reimplemented from CORBA_LocalObject.

virtual void* TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::_tao_QueryInterface (  ptr_arith_t    type )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from CORBA_Object.

TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator_ptr TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::_unchecked_narrow (  CORBA::Object_ptr obj    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL_WITH_DEFAULTS )  [static]

Reimplemented from CORBA_LocalObject.

Security::AuthenticationStatus TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::authenticate (  Security::AuthenticationMethod    method, const char *    mechanism, const char *    security_name, const CORBA::Any &    auth_data, const Security::AttributeList &    privileges, SecurityLevel2::Credentials_out    creds, CORBA::Any_out    continuation_data, CORBA::Any_out auth_specific_data    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL )  throw (CORBA::SystemException) [virtual]

Created Credentials will be placed in the SecurityManager object's own_credentials list. If authenticate() returns with a Security::SecAuthContinue, e.g. due to an inability to complete authentication in a single operation, then authentication must completed using the continue_authentication() method.

Security::AuthenticationStatus TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::continue_authentication (  const CORBA::Any &    response_data, SecurityLevel2::Credentials_ptr    creds, CORBA::Any_out    continuation_data, CORBA::Any_out auth_specific_data    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL )  throw (CORBA::SystemException) [virtual]

Continue partially completed authentication process.

virtual Security::AuthenticationMethodList* TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::get_supported_authen_methods (  const char *mechanism    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL_WITH_DEFAULTS )  throw (CORBA::SystemException) [virtual]

Return the authentication methods supported by the given mechanism.

void TAO_PrincipalAuthenticator::register_vault (  SecurityReplaceable::Vault_ptr vault    ACE_ENV_ARG_DECL )

Note: This is a TAO-specific extension.
