Package com.iplanet.am.sdk

Class AMUserPasswordValidation

java.lang.Object

com.iplanet.am.sdk.AMUserPasswordValidation

Direct Known Subclasses:

AMUserPasswordValidationPlugin

public class AMUserPasswordValidation
extends Object

Deprecated.

As of Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1.

This class provides a userID and password validation plugin mechanism.

The methods of this class need to be overridden by the implementation plugin modules that validate the userID and/or password for the user. The implementation plugin modules will be invoked whenever a userID or password value is being added/modified using Identity Server console, amadmin command line interface or using SDK API's directly.

The plugins that extend this class can be configured per Organization by setting the attribute: iplanet-am-admin-console-user-password-validation-class of iPlanetAMAdminConsoleService Service. If a plugin is not configured at an Organization, then the plugin configured at the global level will be used.

If the validation of the plugin fails, the plugin module can throw an Exception to notify the application to indicate the error in th userID or password supplied by the user. The Exception mechanism provides a means to notify the plugin specific validation error to the user.
