Rename methods of (new) AuthenticationHandler interface
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-1280
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1280
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Commons
Affects Versions: Commons Auth 1.0.0
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Assignee: Felix Meschberger
Fix For: Commons Auth 1.0.0
Currently the AuthenticationHandler interface defines the following methods:
authenticate - extract credentials from request
requestAuthentication - ask client for credentials
dropAuthentication - forget about current credentials
The authenticate and requestAuthentication names are historic and date back to
some internal code at the time where uthenticationHandler did not exist yet.
IMHO these names are not that good. And since we are defining new API anyway,
this might probaby be a good time to rename the methods.
extractCredentials - extract credentials from request
requestCredentials - ask client for credentials
dropCredentials - forget about current credentials
