Hi, <br>&nbsp;I am using for my diploma thesis xwiki and i want to authorize users against shibboleth( <a href="http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/">http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/</a> )<br><br>I know that I must implements XWikiAuthService, but i don&#39;t know what the methods do. So, there are three methods
<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; public XWikiUser checkAuth(XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; public void showLogin(XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; public Principal authenticate(String username, String password, XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException;
<br>and which one is called when user come to xwiki? What is the difference between checkAuth and authenticate method?<br><br>I want to implement lazy sessions, that means, when user click on login, he will be redirected to shibboleth auth provider. The same case is when user want to logout. Now i must to find out, if i need create user logins in database or if it possible to create some session only login.
<br><br>Thanks for reply<br><br>Jan Kodera<br><br><br>
