Authentication API and Handler Improvements
-------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-1575
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1575
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API, Commons, Extensions
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Proposing the following enhancement to the Commons Auth bundle as well as the
two existing form based authentication handlers (Form Based Authentication
Handler and OpenID Authentication Handler):
* Create a new o.a.sling.api.auth package with the Authenticator interface
and the NoAuthenticationHandler exception
* Create an AbstractAuthenticationFormServlet and
AbstractAuthenticationHandler in Commons Auth (o.a.sling.commons.auth.spi)
* Extend the form servlets in the Form and OpenID handlers from the abstract
form servlet
* Extend the authentication handlers from the abstract handler
The new o.a.sling.api.auth package is the current o.a.sling.commons.auth
package without the AuthenticationSupport interface. The reason for this is,
that the Authenticator interface can be used by Sling applications to request
users to login. The AuthenticationSupport interface on the other hand is closed
tied into the Commons Auth implementation and is not generally used by Sling
Applications.
