Use
Initializes the registry. This method is
called when creating the registry.
Checks the password of the user. This
method is called to authenticate a user
when the user's name and password are
given.
Maps a Certificate (of X509 format) to a
valid user in the Registry. This is used to
map the name in the certificate supplied
by a browser to a valid userSecurityName
in the registry.
The realm is a registry-specific string
indicating the realm or domain for which
this registry applies. For example, for
OS400 or AIX this would be the host name
of the system whose user registry this
object represents. If null is returned by this
method realm defaults to the value of
"customRealm".
Gets a list of users that match a pattern in
the registy. The maximum number of
users returned is defined by the limit
argument.
Returns the display name for the user
specified by userSecurityName.
Returns the UniqueId for a
userSecurityName. This method is called
when creating a credential for a user.
