I was hoping someone could provide me a little more insight into the workings of the Restlet security model. I'm currently using M4 and have created my own Authenticator filter that uses JAAS to do authentication. I notice that there is also a class called Verifier (which JaasVerifier appears to be a sub-class of), as well as Enrollers, Subjects, Principals, etc. However, the flow chart at http://www.restlet.org/documentation/2.0/tutorial (see attached image) explains how Filters are used (and I deduced how to use them from the guard example -- very nice routing mechanism -- similar to how IIS handles requests -- I like how it isolates logical steps -- authenticate, authorize, process, post, etc.), but it makes no mention of Verifiers or the other classes in the security namespace. I would love it if I could get a crash course in how to properly handle security within the Restlet API. Thanks!
