Interface SSOProvider

All Known Subinterfaces:

SSOProviderPlugin

public interface SSOProvider

SSOProvider is the interface that the SSO providers or the plug-ins need to implement. The implementation class that implements this interface MUST have the public default no-arg constructor because SSOTokenManger relies on that to dynamically instantiate an object of such class using Java Reflection.
