Class LoginContext

java.lang.Object
  com.arsdigita.kernel.security.LoginContext

public class LoginContext

extends Object

An in-house implementation of JAAS's LoginContext class. Needed to workaround a bug in JAAS 1.0 that requires LoginModules to be loaded by the system classloader. This class loads LoginModules using Class.forName(). The JAAS bug will be fixed in JDK 1.4.
