1. Re: LoginModule order
starksm64 May 26, 2004 9:50 PM (in response to kenh)The javadocs for the javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule.commit method clearly state the method is called when the overall login succeeds and that the login module needs to cleanup any state if it failed locally:
public boolean commit() throws LoginException
This method is called if the LoginContext's overall authentication succeeded (the relevant REQUIRED, REQUISITE, SUFFICIENT and OPTIONAL LoginModules succeeded).
If this LoginModule's own authentication attempt succeeded (checked by retrieving the private state saved by the login method), then this method associates relevant Principals and Credentials with the Subject located in the LoginModule. If this LoginModule's own authentication attempted failed, then this method removes/destroys any state that was originally saved.
