<h2><a name="Extending_Redback_Authentication"></a>Extending Redback Authentication</h2>
<p>In order to accomodate the many authentication security services used in various applications, it is possible to to implement pluggable authentication providers in the Redback security system.</p>
<div class="section">
<h3><a name="Requirements"></a>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li><tt>redback-authentication-api</tt> must be implemented
<ul>
<li>create an authentication implementation project under <tt>redback-authentication-providers</tt></li>
<li><tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.authentication.Authenticator</tt> must be implemented</li></ul></li>
<li><tt>redback-users-api</tt> must be implemented
<ul>
<li>create a user provider implementation project under <tt>redback-users-providers</tt></li>
<li><tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.users.User</tt> must be implemented</li>
<li><tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.users.UserManager</tt> must be implemented</li></ul></li>
<li>utility and wrapper classes can be implemented under <tt>redback-common</tt>
<ul>
<li>e.g. <tt>$redback/redback-common/redback-common-ldap</tt> contains the utility class <tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.common.ldap.LdapUtils</tt>, and the wrapper class <tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.common.ldap.user.LdapUser</tt></li>
<li>other essential classes may be placed here as well, such as the <tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.common.ldap.connection.LdapConnectionFactory</tt></li></ul></li></ul></div>

<h4><a name="Implementing_OpenId_.28OpenId_Homepage.29"></a>Implementing OpenId (<a class="externalLink" href="http://wiki.openid.net/">OpenId Homepage</a>)</h4>
<p>While OpenId may be directly integrated to the authentication point of the web application, another option is to implement the redback api.</p>
<p>Here is something to get started:</p>
<ul>
<li>create the provider project <tt>redback-authentication-openid</tt>
<ul>
<li>create the authenticator class, something like <tt>OpenIdAuthenticator</tt> that implements <tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.authentication.Authenticator</tt></li></ul></li>
<li>create the provider project <tt>redback-users-openid</tt>
<ul>
<li>implement <tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.users.User</tt>, something like <tt>OpenIdUser</tt>
<ul>
<li>OpenId supports only the principal/username and password fields, so use dummy/default values for the unsupported fields (email, fullname) in this case.</li></ul></li>
<li>implement <tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.users.UserManager</tt>, something like <tt>OpenIdUserManager</tt>
<ul>
<li>OpenId is a read-only authentication service, <tt>createUser()</tt>, <tt>updateUser()</tt>, <tt>deleteUser()</tt> may not be used</li></ul></li>
<li>various utility classes may be implemented in <tt>redback-common-openid</tt>
<ul>
<li><tt>OpenIdConfiguration</tt> may be used to encapsulate the following configuration properties (properties that may be specified in the <tt>security.properties</tt> file):
<ul>
<li><tt>openid.config.provider.url</tt>, where this is a url to one openid provider (support to many providers may come later, specified or via discovery, depending on the organization's security policy)</li></ul></li>
<li><tt>OpenIdUtils</tt> class, may be implemented to normalize the User-Supplied Identifier to an Identifier that the OpenId Provider understands, e.g. redback username ('<tt>johndoe</tt>') to OpenId url-like identifier ('<tt>http://johndoe.openidprovider.com</tt>')</li>
<li><tt>OpenIdAuthenticationException</tt> that implements <tt>org.apache.archiva.redback.authentication.AuthenticationException</tt></li>
<li><tt>OpenIdProviderFactory</tt> that takes the configuration from <tt>OpenIdConfiguration</tt></li>
<li><tt>OpenIdProvider</tt> is where the <tt>OpenIdUserManager</tt> can verify a user</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul></div></div></div>
