Class NetAuthenticatorInstaller

java.lang.Object

com.ptc.net.auth.NetAuthenticatorInstaller

public final class NetAuthenticatorInstaller
extends Object

Simple utility to install a GUI (dialog) based Authenticator. Only in the Java Plug-In and Java Web Start does Java install such an Authenticator automatically. In those environments, this class' installation attempt will be rejected by the security manager. This class will silently ignore such failures.

Method Details

install

Instead this attempt will silently fail when a SecurityManager is in place (e.g. under the Java Plug In or Java Web Start where replacing the built in authenticator is a bad idea).
