public class JNDIRealm
extends RealmBase

Implementation of Realm that works with a directory server accessed via the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) APIs. The following constraints are imposed on the data structure in the underlying directory server:

TODO - Support connection pooling (including message format objects) so that authenticate() does not have to be synchronized.
