Class LDAPPasswordSignatureEngine

java.lang.Object
wt.org.electronicIdentity.engines.LDAPPasswordSignatureEngine
All Implemented Interfaces:
SignatureEngine
public class LDAPPasswordSignatureEngine extends Object implements SignatureEngine
A signature engine which requires a password to be supplied. It verifies that the password belongs to the currently logged in user. An LDAP-based directory service is used for authentication.

Note: the electronic signature feature is only supported when user authentication is done using an LDAP-based directory service. If a site is using a flat file or some other means of authentication, then they must provide their own signature engine implementation.

The wt.federation.org.directoryService property lists the names of the Info*Engine JNDI adapters that windchill uses to query one or more LDAP-based directory services for principals. The same services will be used for user authentication of electronic signatures. The following property is only needed in the wt.properties file if the LDAP-based directory service used for authentication is not one of the services identified by the wt.federation.org.directoryServices property.
    wt.org.electronicIdentity.authenticationService: The name of the Info*Engine JNDI adapter that the signature engine will use to access the LDAP-based directory service for user authentication.
