[jira] [Updated] (QPID-3283) Make AuthenticationManager pluggable

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3283?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Keith Wall updated QPID-3283:
-----------------------------

          Description: 
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.
