The authentication plugin provides generic user support. It is the basis
|
|
for both authentication (checking the user is who they claim to be), and
|
|
authorization (allowing the user to do what the system authorises them
|
|
to do).
|
|
|
|
Using authentication is split into two parts. A Store is used to
|
|
actually store the user information, and can store any amount of data
|
|
related to the user. Multiple stores can be accessed from within one
|
|
application. Credentials are used to verify users, using the store,
|
|
given data from the frontend.
