Modifier and Type	Method and Description
AuthenticationParameters	credential(Credential credential) Sets the credential to be used by the authentication mechanism responding to the authenticate call in which these AuthenticationParameters are passed.

boolean	isNewAuthentication() Whether a new authentication dialog is required.
boolean	isRememberMe() Whether "remember me" should be used.
AuthenticationParameters	newAuthentication(boolean newAuthentication) Signal to the authentication mechanism responding to the authenticate call in which these AuthenticationParameters are passed, that an explicit new authentication dialog is required, as opposed to continuing a potentially existing one.
AuthenticationParameters	rememberMe(boolean rememberMe) Signals that for this call to the authentication mechanism "remember me" should be applied, IFF the "remember me" feature is configured for the authentication mechanism responding to the authenticate call.
void	setCredential(Credential credential) Sets the credential as parameter in this instance.
void	setNewAuthentication(boolean newAuthentication) Sets whether a new authentication dialog is required.
void	setRememberMe(boolean rememberMe) Sets whether "remember me" should be used.

Method Detail

withParams

public static AuthenticationParameters withParams()

credential

public AuthenticationParameters credential(Credential credential)

Sets the credential to be used by the authentication mechanism responding to the authenticate call in which these AuthenticationParameters are passed.

Parameters:

credential - the credential to be used by the authentication mechanism

Returns:

the instance of AuthenticationParameters on which this call was made, useful for a fluent/builder style creation of parameters.

newAuthentication

public AuthenticationParameters newAuthentication(boolean newAuthentication)

Signal to the authentication mechanism responding to the authenticate call in which these AuthenticationParameters are passed, that an explicit new authentication dialog is required, as opposed to continuing a potentially existing one.

Parameters:

newAuthentication - whether a new authentication dialog is required to be started.

Returns:

the instance of AuthenticationParameters on which this call was made, useful for a fluent/builder style creation of parameters.

rememberMe

public AuthenticationParameters rememberMe(boolean rememberMe)

Signals that for this call to the authentication mechanism "remember me" should be applied, IFF the "remember me" feature is configured for the authentication mechanism responding to the authenticate call.

If "remember me" is not configured, this parameter is silently ignored.

Parameters:

rememberMe - if true the "remember me" feature will be used if authentication succeeds and if so configured.

Returns:

the instance of AuthenticationParameters on which this call was made, useful for a fluent/builder style creation of parameters.
