Interface UserAuthenticator

public interface UserAuthenticator

Customized Authentication

JReport Enterprise Server provides the ability to use customized user authentication scheme. A customized user authentication scheme must implement the interface jet.server.UserAuthenticator, and import the customized class file by modifying the following JReport Enterprise Server's properties file:
<SERVER PATH>/bin/classes.properties

When using customized user authentication scheme, user should:
1. Write a class which implements the interface jet.server.UserAuthenticator.
2. Put the class into CLASSPATH which used by launching JReport Enterprise Server
3. Edit file <SERVER PATH>/bin/classes.properties, let name UserAuthenticator point to the customized class
4. Restart JReport Enterprise Server and the customized user authentication is working.

We can also select whether to log if the action succeeded or failed
