Felix Meschberger updated SLING-1155:
-------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: Engine 2.1.0)
Actually, even though the original work has still been applied to the Sling
Engine bundle, this has been moved to the Commons Auth bundle and thus this fix
applies to the Commons Auth 1.0 release only.
> Add logout method to Authenticator
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-1155
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1155
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Commons, Engine
> Affects Versions: Engine 2.0.4, Engine 2.0.6
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Assignee: Felix Meschberger
> Fix For: Commons Auth 1.0.0
>
>
> With the Sling Engine 2.0.4 the Authenticator interface has been introduced
> to support a generic way to have a user authenticated. This allows for an
> authentication agnostic way to force a user to login.
> The drawback of the current solution is, that neither authentication handlers
> nor the Authenticator interface provide APi to logout a user again. This
> should be fixed as follows:
> * Add an Authenticator.logout() method which logs out a user in a similar
> way the login method logs a user in
> * Add a new AuthenticationHandler2 interface extending the
> AuthenticationHandler interface and providing a dropAuthentication method
> which mirrors the AuthenticationHandler.requestAuthentication method.
> * Add a LogoutServlet calling Authenticator.logout in a similar manner as
> the LoginServlet calls the login method
> Authentication handlers supporting logging out just implement the
> AuthenticationHandler2 interface while still registering as a plain
> AuthenticationHandler. The Authenticator implementation in the Sling Engine
> bundle identifies the authentication handlers correctly to call or to not
> call the dropAuthentication method.
