> Key: QPID-3283
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3283
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java Broker
> Reporter: Keith Wall
> Assignee: Robbie Gemmell
> Fix For: 0.13
>
> Attachments: 0001-QPID-3283-Make-Authentication-Manager-pluggable.patch

> This improvement forms part of the proposal I made to the Qpid Developer List on 2011-05-16 in the posting entitled "Java Broker: Pluggable Authentication Managers".
> The existing AuthenticationManager and configuration classes will be refactored to allow a user to choose an implementation of AuthenticationManager through new elements in the config.xml.
> Existing use-cases (that is authentication against the etc/passwd file) will be maintained by plugging-in the PrincipalDatabaseAuthenticationManager implementation. Future implementations of AuthenticationManager could then allow authentication to be delegated to an external system such as an LDAP Directory.
> This change *will* alter the format of the config.xml file. Existing users of <=0-12 will need to edit their config.xml when upgrading. Documentation will be updated to guide upgraders and helpful error messages will gently reject older configure files.
