Authentication Objects Overview

Authentication objects are utilized within AlchemyPoint Server's ProtocolConnectors, ProtocolListeners, and ORMQObjects. These objects define user / password authentication realms, x.509 certificate stores, x.509 private and public keys, etc.

These objects are utilized to authenticate incoming or outgoing connections handled by AlchemyPoint Server.

Supported Authentication Objects

Secure Sockets (SSL):

• CertificateStore - Top-level configuration option defining an x.509 certificate store (trusted certificates, local private keys / certificates, etc.).

• SSLClientConfig - Configuration object for defining client settings when making outbound SSL connections. This object is embedded within any of the SSL-supporting ProtocolConnectors (HTTPInputConnector, HTTPOutputConnector, HTTPFullDuplexConnector, FTPInputConnector, FTPOutputConnector, MailInputConnector, MailOutputConnector).

• SSLServerConfig - Configuration object for defining server settings when accepting inbound SSL connections. This object is embedded within any of the SSL-supporting ProtocolListeners (HTTPFullDuplexListener, SMTPListener).

User Authentication:

• AuthenticationRealm - Top-level configuration option defining an authentication realm of user/passwords. This realm may be utilized within a SMTPListener, HTTPFullDuplexListener, or ORMQProvider to authenticate incoming client connections.

Network Proxies:

• ProxyConfig? - Configuration object for defining proxy settings when making outbound protocol connections. This object is embedded within any of the proxy-supporting ProtocolConnectors (HTTPInputConnector, HTTPOutputConnector, HTTPFullDuplexConnector).
