Member Function Documentation

void VOS::RemotePasswordAuth::authenticate ( const std::string & password )

Using the supplied password, will attempt an authentication protocol with the server in order to take on this Identity.

The cleartext password is never sent during the validation protocol.

Parameters:

password

the password (cleartext)

Exceptions:

AccessControlError

if the authentication fails

virtual const std::string VOS::RemotePasswordAuth::getVOSType ( ) [virtual]

Returns:: VOS type "core:passwordauth"

Reimplemented from VOS::MetaObject.

static MetaObject* VOS::RemotePasswordAuth::new_RemotePasswordAuth	(	VobjectBase *	superobject,
		const std::string &	type
	)			`[static]`

used by metaobject factory, never call directly

void VOS::RemotePasswordAuth::setPassword ( const std::string & password )

Request that the password be changed to the supplied password.

You must have already taken on this this Identity using authenticate(). Note that this will send a CLEARTEXT password, that is, someone can sniff the password-set message to learn the password (unlike the authentication protocol which never sends the password) so use with care.
