This table
describes the three different constants we use to define the value of status.
Constant Description
JAUTHENTICATE_STATUS_CANCEL Authentication Canceled
JAUTHENTICATE_STATUS_FAILURE Authentication Failed
JAUTHENTICATE_STATUS_SUCCESS Authentication Successful
Authentication plugins are stackable. We can use multiple authentication plugins
simultaneously. The plugins are used in published order and if any of them sets the
status of the JAuthenticationResponse object to JAUTHENTICATE_STATUS_SUCCESS
the login is deemed successful and no more authentication plugins are triggered.
The default setup, shown below, places the plugins in the order: Joomla!, LDAP,
OpenID, GMail. Only Joomla! authentication is enabled by default.
Additional processing can be performed once a login has completed using user
plugins. These are discussed later in the chapter.
