Hello guys, the current implementation of the UserAuthenticationData only allows us to keep character arrays as values for the user authentication. However, for FTPS or SFTP (maybe more - HTTPS, WebDAVS) we may also have to use private keys or client-side certificates. Unfortunately I cannot keep those in the UserAuthenticationData.
This results in half-baked solutions like provided in the patch of VFS-283 where the passphase is delivered with the "standard" mechanism, but the key data is individually set and on top of it a private UserAuthenticator implementation that tries to overcome the limits of the UserAuthenticationData. Therefore I'd like to apply my proposed changes in VFS-466, where I keep binary compatibility, but have to deprecate the old getter/setter in favor of new ones dealing with arbitrary data (defined by the enhanced inner Type). WDYT? - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
