Interface IERXRestAuthenticationDelegate

All Known Implementing Classes:

ERXUnsafeRestAuthenticationDelegate

public interface IERXRestAuthenticationDelegate

IERXRestAuthenticationDelegate provides a hook for you to authenticate users for the purposes of a restful request. ERXRestContext provides access to the WOContext if you want to create a session and access users through the session. Alternatively, you can work without a session by using the ERXRestContext as a dictionary and simply attaching the current user to the context.
