    • commit

      public boolean commit() throws LoginException

      commit in interface LoginModule
      Returns:
      true if this LoginModule's own login and commit attempts succeeded, or false otherwise.

    • abort

      public boolean abort() throws LoginException

      This method is called if the LoginContext's overall authentication failed. (the relevant REQUIRED, REQUISITE, SUFFICIENT and OPTIONAL LoginModules did not succeed).

      If this LoginModule's own authentication attempt succeeded (checked by retrieving the private state saved by the login and commit methods), then this method cleans up any state that was originally saved.

      Specified by:
      abort in interface LoginModule
      Returns:
      false if this LoginModule's own login and/or commit attempts failed, and true otherwise.
