authinitialize example

This example shows how to create and register a custom authinitialize authentication handler on the client that authenticates against a server that was started with the corresponding authenticator.

Prerequisites

• Install Apache Geode
• Build and install Apache Geode Native
• Apache Geode Native examples, built and installed
• Set GEODE_HOME to the install directory of Apache Geode

Running

1. From a command shell, set the current directory to the authinitialize build directory in your example workspace.

   $ cd workspace/examples/build/cpp/authinitialize
   

2. Run the startserver script to start the Geode cluster with authentication and create a region.

   For Windows cmd:

   $ powershell.exe -File startserver.ps1
   

   For Windows Powershell:

   $ startserver.ps1
   

   For Bash:

   $ ./startserver.sh
   

3. Execute cpp-authinitialize, expect the following output:

   ExampleAuthInitialize::ExampleAuthInitialize called
   ExampleAuthInitialize::getCredentials called
   a = 1
   b = 2
   

4. Run the stopserver script to gracefully shutdown the Geode cluster.

   For Windows cmd:

   $ powershell.exe -File stopserver.ps1
   

   For Windows Powershell:

   $ stopserver.ps1
   

   For Bash:

   $ ./stopserver.sh
