| <pre>public interface <a href="../../../../src-html/org/apache/shiro/realm/Realm.html#line.63">Realm</a></pre> |
| <div class="block">A <tt>Realm</tt> is a security component that can access application-specific security entities |
| such as users, roles, and permissions to determine authentication and authorization operations. |
| |
| <p><tt>Realm</tt>s usually have a 1-to-1 correspondance with a datasource such as a relational database, |
| file sysetem, or other similar resource. As such, implementations of this interface use datasource-specific APIs to |
| determine authorization data (roles, permissions, etc), such as JDBC, File IO, Hibernate or JPA, or any other |
| Data Access API. They are essentially security-specific |
| <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Access_Object" target="_blank">DAO</a>s. |
| |
| <p>Because most of these datasources usually contain Subject (a.k.a. User) information such as usernames and |
| passwords, a Realm can act as a pluggable authentication module in a |
| <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluggable_Authentication_Modules">PAM</a> configuration. This allows a Realm to |
| perform <i>both</i> authentication and authorization duties for a single datasource, which caters to the large |
| majority of applications. If for some reason you don't want your Realm implementation to perform authentication |
| duties, you should override the <a href="../../../../org/apache/shiro/realm/Realm.html#supports(org.apache.shiro.authc.AuthenticationToken)"><code>supports(org.apache.shiro.authc.AuthenticationToken)</code></a> method to always |
| return <tt>false</tt>. |
| |
| <p>Because every application is different, security data such as users and roles can be |
| represented in any number of ways. Shiro tries to maintain a non-intrusive development philosophy whenever |
| possible - it does not require you to implement or extend any <tt>User</tt>, <tt>Group</tt> or <tt>Role</tt> |
| interfaces or classes. |
| |
| <p>Instead, Shiro allows applications to implement this interface to access environment-specific datasources |
| and data model objects. The implementation can then be plugged in to the application's Shiro configuration. |
| This modular technique abstracts away any environment/modeling details and allows Shiro to be deployed in |
| practically any application environment. |
| |
| <p>Most users will not implement the <tt>Realm</tt> interface directly, but will extend one of the subclasses, |
| <a href="../../../../org/apache/shiro/realm/AuthenticatingRealm.html" title="class in org.apache.shiro.realm"><code>AuthenticatingRealm</code></a> or <a href="../../../../org/apache/shiro/realm/AuthorizingRealm.html" title="class in org.apache.shiro.realm"><code>AuthorizingRealm</code></a>, greatly reducing the effort requird |
| to implement a <tt>Realm</tt> from scratch.</p></div> |
