Interface ISVNAuthenticationProvider

public int acceptServerAuthentication(SVNURL url,
                                      String realm,
                                      Object certificate,
                                      boolean resultMayBeStored)

Checks a server authentication certificate and whether accepts it (if the client trusts it) or not.

This method is used by an SSL manager (see ISVNSSLManager).

Parameters:

url - a repository location that is accessed

realm - a repository authentication realm (host, port, realm string)

certificate - a server certificate object

resultMayBeStored - if true then the server certificate can be cached, otherwise not

Returns:

the result of the certificate check (REJECTED, ACCEPTED_TEMPORARY, or ACCEPTED)

public SVNAuthentication requestClientAuthentication(String kind,
                                                     SVNURL url,
                                                     String realm,
                                                     SVNErrorMessage errorMessage,
                                                     SVNAuthentication previousAuth,
                                                     boolean authMayBeStored)

Returns a next user credential of the specified kind for the given authentication realm.

If this provider has got more than one credentials (say, a list of credentials), to get the first one of them previousAuth is set to null.

Parameters:

kind - a credential kind (for example, like those defined in ISVNAuthenticationManager)

url - a repository location that is to be accessed

realm - a repository authentication realm (host, port, realm string)

errorMessage - the recent authentication failure error message

previousAuth - the credential that was previously retrieved (to tell if it's not accepted)

authMayBeStored - if true then the returned credential can be cached, otherwise it won't be cached anyway

Returns:

a next user credential
