PasswordAuthentication Question

[brendanburns]

Hello,
In the SimpleClientListener, there is a method which returns a PasswordAuthentication object.  Clearly the user name becomes the user name which is accessible in the ClientSession object on the server side.  However, what happens to the password?  I can't seem to find any methods in the server-side code to get access to it.  Does it dissappear or am I missing something?

Thanks,

The password is handled by the authenticator.

The default authenticator is a null authenticator, it does nothing with the password.

For information on plugging other authenticators in, see this thread.

Bunny Hunters Online! has a custom authenticator.  That code will be available open source right after javaOne.  When the full SDK open source release happens it will be accompanied by a manual that details all the  pluggable places in the system.
