attemptAuthentication
public GrantedAuthority[] attemptAuthentication(java.lang.String username,
java.lang.String password)
throws RemoteAuthenticationException
- Attempts to authenticate the remote client using the presented username
and password. If authentication is successful, an array of
GrantedAuthority[] objects will be returned.
In order to maximise remoting protocol compatibility, a design decision
was taken to operate with minimal arguments and return only the minimal
amount information required for remote clients to enable/disable
relevant user interface commands etc. There is nothing preventing users
from implementing their own equivalent package that works with more
complex object types.
