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
