Class HttpAuthConfig

java.lang.Object
  blackboard.platform.security.authentication.HttpAuthConfig

public class HttpAuthConfig
extends java.lang.Object

This class is responsible for storing in-memory the authentication properties for the Blackboard application. An HttpAuthConfig instance converts the property file entries into the appropriate objects ( Integer, Boolean, URL, Class or String ) makes those objects available via the getProperty(String) method. This class is also responsible for providing the Blackboard authentication-configuration GUI with the appropriate user-friendly text describing each property file entry. This class expects to find a /config/authentication.properties file in the directory to which the Blackboard application has been deployed.
