@Deprecated @ConsumerType public interface WebConsoleSecurityProvider2 extends WebConsoleSecurityProvider
Deprecated.
Use the SecurityProvider instead.
The WebConsoleSecurityProvider2 extends the WebConsoleSecurityProvider interface allowing for full control of the authentication process to access the Web Console.

If a registered WebConsoleSecurityProvider service implements this interface the authenticate(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) method is called instead of the WebConsoleSecurityProvider.authenticate(String, String) method.

Since:
3.1.2; Web Console Bundle 3.1.4

      boolean authenticate(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
      Deprecated.
      Authenticates the given request or asks the client for credentials.

      Implementations of this method are expected to respect and implement the semantics of the ServletContextHelper.handleSecurity method as specified in the OSGi HTTP Service specification.

      If this method returns true it is assumed the request provided valid credentials identifying the user as accepted to access the web console. In addition, the USER_ATTRIBUTE request attribute must be set to a non-null object reference identifying the authenticated user.

      If this method returns false the request to the web console is terminated without any more response sent back to the client. That is the implementation is expected to have informed the client in case of non-granted access.

      Parameters:
      request - The request object
      response - The response object
      Returns:
      true If the request provided valid credentials.
