Hi Schley, The tutorial you mentionned hasn't been updated yet to take into account the new security API introduced in Restlet 2.0.
Instead of using a Guard, in most case you will use an Authenticator. Verifier and Enroler has used by ChallengeAuthenticator to check the credentials and assign roles for an authenticated user. I've just checked in some simplification to this security API in SVN trunk and updated the developers' page on the wiki: "Security API refactoring" http://wiki.restlet.org/developers/172-restlet/212-restlet.html Best regards, Jerome Louvel -- Restlet ~ Founder and Lead developer ~ http://www.restlet.org Noelios Technologies ~ Co-founder ~ http://www.noelios.com -----Message d'origine----- De : Schley Andrew Kutz [mailto:sak...@gmail.com] Envoyé : vendredi 11 septembre 2009 06:36 À : discuss@restlet.tigris.org Objet : Questions about Security Model 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.
